The Basic Batch's Guide to Fall

Written By: GroupGets | September 01, 2022

NEWSLETTER - ISSUE 102
As we prepare to sip on pumpkin spices, we're also preparing for hot creations to be sold out (like the PureThermal 3 and the HydroMoth) and new creations coming soon (like the Humble iCE!) Speaking of new, we have also expanded our thermal imaging and advanced camera accessories to be sold on our newest storefront: ISO Cameras.
 
(Put on your coziest sweater and read-on the latest of what's coming up on GroupGets)

 

The Return of the King:
PureThermal 3

 
Continuing our successful line of thermal webcams, the PureThermal 3 (PT3) is the latest edition that, according to our Head of Hardware Engineering, Griffin Covert: "The motivation of the new design was primarily to address component shortages, but we took it as an opportunity to make a new form factor...We never saw much use of the optional RF shield pads on the  PureThermal 2, so doing away with that left room for a detailed silkscreen and USB-C connector...This in combination with a custom jig, allows for more rapid flashing at the fab compared to DFU over USB."

The PT3 is a hackable thermal webcam for the FLIR Lepton (2.x - 3.x) LWIR camera core. It has the same basic functionality of the PureThermal 2 but with a few changes and additional features. Unlike the PT2, the PT3 does not have pads to install an RF shield and the Tag-Connect TC2030 programming connector is replaced by the Tag-Connect EC-10-IDC. 
 
The PureThermal 3 is currently being bundled with the FLIR Lepton FS, and can be upgraded with a Lepton 3.5.
