![]() I know I need a video streaming output from the camera, an interface to bring video signal to a 5.8Ghz Chinese (Ali express, Banggod, Gearbest…) transmitter and need to receive the signal of the thermic camera to receiver video that is connected to my tablet or smartphone via OTG. My problem is to make a very light thermal camera with FLIR Lepton or Boson cameras that are smallest, lightest, and least power-consuming, to be placed on top of a harmless drone. Hi, I made a simple search on Lepton FLIR Cameras cheap ones and I arrived here today 11 March 2021 It may not be the cheapest solution in the meantime, but for that price, you can make your own nice thermal imager, and you can adapt it to your own needs at any time. I put a lot of time and effort in this project and hope you do not only judge about it by reading the title. There is also a nice thermal editing software called “ThermoVision” from JoeC, that allows you to edit the raw images like the FLIR Tools do. The memory is replaceable and the device can be connected to a PC or Pi for live thermal streaming. The open-source firmware has a lot of nice features and you can control it over a touch interface. The added value of this project is certainly the software part. I think the title comes from the comparison table on my page, where I contrast the specs to a FLIR E6, costing around 2000€. I am just a single student who made this project in his free time, so I can not compete with big companies like FLIR or Seek with hundreds of engineers and a big budget. The title of this article may be sensational and I agree that other solutions for a comparable (Seek Reveal XR) or lower (FLIR One) price exists. I am Max, the creator of the DIY-Thermocam. For the cost of this project ($400 + assembly time) you could almost afford the gen 2 seek devices (320×240 pixels, $500) and really have a really solid imager. For sub $300 you could easily have a device which is much more powerful than anything based on the lepton, with much less work. Especially considering it is was homework assignment! Complete schematics, design files for the board, full firmware, etc.īut as far as making a product which is ‘better’ than FLIRs offerings, It seems like the solution to not liking a companies practices (FLIR) is not to buy more of their products–especially considering there is more profit in selling the bare lepton module than the fully packaged TG130.Ĭonsider for example the first gen seek compact ($250) has an order of magnitude more pixels (206×156 vs 80×60) and can be directly be used with a computer (using python/libusb, so it will run on anything with a usb port) or cheap smartphone (android/ios). This is a very nice project from the standpoint of being a true open hardware FOSS project which I applaud. Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged flir, Flir lepton, thermal imaging, Thermal Imaging Sensor Post navigation If you’re thinking about buying one of those fancy thermal imaging cameras, here you go - this one is just as good and half off. This is one of the better DIY projects we’ve seen recently, and the documentation is fantastic. If you want an overview of this project before digging in, has a project overview (PDF warning) going over the build. The components required for this build include a FLIR Lepton sensor easily sourced from the Digikey or GroupGets, an Arducam Mini, a Teensy 3.6, and a mishmash of components that are probably kicking around your parts drawers. Now has unleashed his DIY Thermocam on the world of Open Hardware, and anyone can build their own for about €400 (about $425). There’s also a 1/4-20 threaded insert on the bottom of ’s version, making it far more useful in any experimental setup. These thermal images were combined with a VGA resolution camera to produce the very cool enhanced imagery the commercial unit will get you. This thermal camera is built around the FLIR Lepton sensor, providing thermal images with a resolution of 60 by 80 pixels. We first saw it about a year ago, and the results were impressive. has been working on his DIY thermal imager for a while now. That doesn’t mean we’re stuck with crippled thermal imaging cameras, though: we can build our own, with better specs than what the big boys are selling. Once FLIR figured out the people who would be most likely to own a thermal imaging camera can figure out how to upload firmware, the party was over. In a manufacturing triumph, the cheapest of these thermal imaging cameras contained the same circuitry as the one that cost six times as much. A few years ago, FLIR unleashed a new line of handheld thermal imagers upon the world.
