Pretty cool and easy to use sensor in this one. I wonder if one can buy them in small quantities.

HT02: Heat seeking robot from cheap thermal camera

Thermal Camera: https://goo.gl/7mWgTP RasPad: https://goo.gl/uK85wi KICKSTARTER LAST FEW DAYS Raspberry Pi and more: https://www.welectron.com/Raspberry-Pi_3 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/marcoreps PiCar robot kit: https://goo.gl/yF1NpT Code and Schematic: https://reps.cc NOT YET It's just their ball_tracker.py with a different video source: https://github.com/sunfounder/SunFounder_PiCar-V/tree/master/ball_track Another quick one: I am looking at one of the cheapest thermal cameras and finding it unsuitable for me. So I take it apart and do something more fun with it.

Clearly the star of the show today is that gorgeous new scope. That thing looks like the cats meow! Also the fact you just whipped up a crude but functional heat tracking bot is terrifying..

The python / opencv code for object tracking was supplied by the robot kit manufacturer, I just used another data source basically

Holger Scade

would it be an options to write new firmware for the thermal cam? Wich microprocessor / controller does it use?

marcoreps

Yes, I think that would be possible. It uses a 'GigaDevice GD32F4' which might be STM32F4 compatible ( <a href="http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?t=1352" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?t=1352</a> ) and programming headers are nicely labelled. But I've got my eyes on something else already: <a href="https://www.banggood.com/HT-18-220x160-Handheld-Infrared-Thermal-Camera-Thermograph-Camera-Digital-Temperature-Tester-p-1255696.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.banggood.com/HT-18-220x160-Handheld-Infrared-Thermal-Camera-Thermograph-Camera-Digital-Temperature-Tester-p-1255696.html</a>

Bom dia, isto é muito bacana! gostei muito! Parabéns você é muito top!

Was wondering how 60x60 pixels could be read by only 2400 clock pulses, but I gather from other comments that it is only using 60x40. I wonder what resolution the 220x160 model actually reads... :)

Before it got rudely disassembled, did you try capturing an image to SD card? I'm wondering what resolution it saved the thermal image at - probably scaled based on how blurred it was.

What's your new o'scope?
