Arduino camera and infrared sensor update#

The FLIR product in question is a Boson 640, an impressive little camera that records in 640×512 resolution, with a 60 Hz update rate. It’s a thermal action cam, and an impressive bit of FPGA development, too. That’s what was thinking when he designed a PCB backpack that captures thermal images from a FLIR Boson and stores it on an SD card. That’s great and all, but these thermal cameras are so cool, you really just want to play with one. For example, one of the cameras has an 80×60 resolution but uses an optical camera to give the illusion of a higher resolution.Ĭontinue reading “Your Own Santa? Thermal Camera Roundup” → Posted in News, Reviews Tagged gift, infrared cameraįLIR are making some really great miniature thermal cameras these days, designed for applications such as self-driving cars, and tools that help keep firefighters safe. For the digital camera buffs, that’s 0.028 megapixels! Some cameras have even less resolution. The highest in the review is only 206×136. Or pick out hot water pipes behind walls. You can see hot spots in electronics, for example. Which one? They have four suggestions ranging from about $150 to $200.ĭifferent people have different reasons for wanting a thermal camera. has a suggestion: a phone-based thermal camera. But sometimes you just have to buy yourself something nice. In the best case, they’ll give you gift cards.

Who can blame them? Do you want an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi, or a Blue Pill? Is that 3D printer on sale better than the one you have? Do you even want a second printer? They don’t know. The problem is that your loved ones don’t really know what to get you. With Christmas and other end-of-year celebrations, there are gifts.
