PureThermal 3 - FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Board

Added to your shopping cart

The PureThermal 3 FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Module is a hackable thermal webcam module for the FLIR Lepton Longwave Infrared (LWIR) camera core. It ships preconfigured to operate as a plug-and-play UVC 1.0 USB thermal webcam that will work with standard webcam apps such as VLC Media Player on PC, Linux, Mac, and Android. For developers, its reference firmware, viewer software, and hardware schematic are all open source!

Each PureThermal 3 is equipped with the reliable STM32F412 ARM microprocessor capable of processing images without any external system inputs. With a Lepton inserted into the PureThermal 3 you will be able to achieve 9Hz color video over USB using the USB UVC class. If USB isn't necessarily your desired medium, this board has also been fitted with 0.1" pins to interface over UART or I2C.

Note: The PureThermal 3 does NOT include a FLIR Lepton imaging module and will need to be purchased separately or in the Combo Board. The Lepton module is extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When inserting it into the breakout board be sure to use proper personal grounding, such as a grounding wrist strap, to prevent damage the module.

PureThermal 3 - FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Board Product Help and Resources

Core Skill: Programming

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.

3 Programming

Skill Level: Competent - The toolchain for programming is a bit more complex and will examples may not be explicitly provided for you. You will be required to have a fundamental knowledge of programming and be required to provide your own code. You may need to modify existing libraries or code to work with your specific hardware. Sensor and hardware interfaces will be SPI or I2C.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

2 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.
