Nice for prototyping
about 2 years ago by Member #1409197 verified purchaser
Really cool and easy to use for prototyping thermal imaging applications, but the resolution is too low to
capture details, however, it's still quite handy and fun.
works great. (after some digging into how to actually connect it).
about a year ago by Member #159298 verified purchaser
Followed the instructions and got things working after some painful digging into the specs. Would not work as
shown in the hook up guide. Had to change the CS location to the one mentioned in the github info. Even the
github info shows CS attached to the wrong place in the pictures, but the text will guide you to success. Mine
had to be on CE0 (pin across from CLK). Anyway after wasting hours trouble shooting It is running great now.
Thanks sparkfun..keep the cool products coming!!!!
Excellent dev kit, a bit expensive
last year by __ic verified purchaser
I bought the kit for a home system, to watch over objects and plants. Everything works fine, and very easy to
interface with. Cabling is straightforward and interacting is simple with the available libraries.
The sensor itself feels of very good quality (hence the price), and the images produced are really usable---I
did not know what to expect from a 80x60 matrix. Sensing is a bit slow to my taste but it just works fine.
My working settings: * Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ * Connected on SPI 0 * Interfacing code in Python, using the
pylepton library.
If you opt for pylepton, please be careful with what version of the FLIR you get. This is a LEPTON 2.5 and
works out of the box with pylepton. I also have a LEPTON 3.5, and we need to use a specific version of
pylepton (from the source code, branch lepton3-dev). I lost so much time on that one---hope you don't.
