The flight controller would communicate with the Intel Edison using a serial port, we'd probably use 'MAVLink' and then call whatever libraries we have to trigger the picture taking and storing of images.

This would be really great because of it's reduced size and on the arducopter dev team we're already familiar with the intel edison (although we're also familiar with the RPi and Odroid). Keeping it all small would be great, so either reverse engineering the demo camera or alternatively there was a discussion some time back of making an Intel Edison interface board for it in place of a RPi. The low-ish resolution will probably make it not quite as useful as some hope but it's a start and there's nothing like it at this price. Like many others, my aim is to put it on a UAV, in particular on an ArduCopter based UAV multicopter. I've joined the campaign for a few of the lepton sensors breakout boards and the demo camera. May be we can use some plate with attached thermal sensor? Or even heated plate?ģ) What about overlaying transparent image from webcamera?Ĥ) How do you think: is it possible to get 'macro' shots with Gallium Arsenide lens like in this video - ?īTW, thanks PureEngineering and tz for their code contribution. Is it possible?Ĭan radiometry help us (Datasheet 8.4)? I see curve plot in the doc, but it captioned as hypothetical.Ģ) If color scale requires calibration, how can we calibrate Lepthon before using?

Hardware buttons could be used for operation control.ġ) We need to draw temperature color scale on the screen for reference. I suppose our best choice for building such thing is Raspberry Pi and small TFT car display with composite input. In this post I'm trying to determine main points to achieve this goal. I think a lot of people here purchased Lepton for building portable thermal camera.
