“Just PERFECT!
A great breakout and a way to build a REALLY CHEAP thermal camera and very similar to a commercial one.
In combination with BreakOut Garden Mini, no need to solder anything and you can get a thermal image in less than 5 minutes!”
“Arrived in good time and well packaged.
Opted for 55 viewing angle and I have soldered the right angled header as supplied to the board as it is directly connected to RPi4 gpio pins for initial setup and testing.
It took a bit of reading of Toms Thermal Cam build before getting somewhere near working and learning what I had to fine tune in the python code.
It works and results are excellent in my humble opinion. Applications for this are aplenty.
The TTC build provides a variety of video outputs and I have a lot more experimenting to do with this now it is reliably outputting data.
Video runs at about 1.3fps at 400k baud rate.
In a room at ambient temperature 21degC it is picking me up at a distance away of circa 1.5m.
Will be testing its limitations , however, I am initially very impressed with this unit.”
“Camera came with a dead pixel. This is within accepted tolerance. I overcame the problem by replacing the reading with the average from the pixel either side.”
