The Challenge: Envision and create the coolest, most useful, and/or fun project imaginable combining Lepton 3.5 with the new PureThermal2 board with Thermal by FLIR from GroupGets!
The FLIR Lepton 3.5 is a radiometric-capable LWIR camera solution that is smaller than a dime, can fit inside a smartphone, and is ten times less expensive than a traditional IR camera. Using focal plane arrays of 160 x 120 active pixels, Lepton 3.5 easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR sensor or thermal imager. The new PureThermal2 board with Thermal by FLIR is a breakout board that's purpose-built for use with the Lepton.
Come up with a fun, cool, useful, and/or unique project using this combo and you can win great prizes!
