Product Details

Product Description

As seen on Makezine, the DIY-Thermocam is a do-it-yourself infrared camera kit targeted at the FLIR Lepton 3.x 160x120 LWIR camera core and the Teensy 3.6 ARM Cortex M4 MCU. It has recently updated software for the 160x120 *radiometric* Lepton **3.5** and updated mechanicals for the improved ArduCAM-M-2MP visible camera. It takes excellent thermal images as shown in the gallery below and was created by Max Ritter in Germany to be very hackable with its modular construction and open source software. We supported his early efforts to build the kit and continue to host it as he continues to innovate it. Check out the resolution difference between a Lepton 2.5 and Lepton 3.0 below - shot with DIY-Thermocam. ![Lepton 3 vs 2.5 ](https://groupgets-files.s3.amazonaws.com/thermocam/Lepton_3.0_vs_2.5.jpg ) If you already have a Lepton and are looking for new uses for it, this is the perfect project but be ready to solder wires, install open source software, and perform mechanical assembly. If this sounds daunting, then maybe it's not the right fit for your skills at this time. We'll do our best to help though. There is no pre-assembly option at this time.

More info about the battery is available on the [DIY-Thermocam GitHub](https://github.com/maxritter/DIY-Thermocam) page. ###Important Information about shipping * The PureThermal 1/2 with Radiometric FLIR Lepton 3.5 requires specialized software to show radiometry such as [GetThermal](https://github.com/groupgets/GetThermal). * **All international customers that are ordering any Thermal Imaging Camera will be required to fill out an End Use Statement document before shipment.** Once you place your order we will email you with the document within one business day. * **Important information for customers in Russia**. Due to recent US regulations we are no longer able to ship FLIR thermal camera cores to these countries/territories. Any orders containing these products from these countries will be canceled and refunded. We are sorry for the inconvenience. * **Important information for customers in Germany**, due to some issues with German customs and this kit we will no longer ship the DIY-Thermocam kit to Germany. Any orders placed with a shipping address to Germany will be canceled and refunded. We are sorry for the inconvenience. * **We can only ship this product __with a Lepton__ to North America, Australia, and the European Union Countries.** Any orders for this product __with a Lepton__ placed in a country other than those will be canceled and refunded.

FLIR Lepton 3.0

$239.00

The FLIR Lepton 3.0 has a resolution of 160x120 pixels or 2x that of Lepton 2.x. You no longer need to scavenge them from other FLIR products, just add it here! A Lepton is required for the DIY Thermocam's operation. Add Lepton 3 here if you don't already have a Lepton to plug into the kit or add Lepton 2.5 above if you prefer a radiometric Lepton.

Radiometric FLIR Lepton 2.5

$199.00

The radiometric FLIR Lepton 2.5 camera core builds upon its 2.0 predecessors in that its temperature value for each pixel is irrespective of the temperature of the camera core itself. This has long been desired by the Lepton developer community. A Lepton is required for the DIY Thermocam's operation. Add Lepton 2.5 here if you don't already have a Lepton to plug into the kit or add Lepton 3 below if higher resolution interests you more.

PureThermal 2 - FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Module

$99.99

PureThermal 2 is a hackable thermal webcam for the FLIR Lepton (2.x - 3.x) LWIR camera core. It is the result of lisetining to our thousands of PureThermal 1 users and giving them what they want: four mounting holes, pads for optional EM shielding, less complex circuitry, and perhaps best of all, USB DFU. That's right, a JTAG breakout board will no longer be required to update PureThermal 2. This is a development kit ready to be embedded into a production system.
