The PureThermal OpenMV by GetLab is a co-designed collaboration product between GetLab and OpenMV to produce a high-end mixed color and thermal camera for professional applications. The board features a 5MP OV5640 camera module, a FLIR Lepton socket capable of supporting any FLIR Lepton, and the VL53L0X laser range finder to assist in drawing the thermal image on the color image using the right offset/scaling.
Live video can be displayed on the 4.3” 800x480 IPS TFT capacitive touch LCD onboard, mirrored to an HDMI monitor, or streamed over WiFi via RTSP. Finally, the PureThermal OpenMV can be programmed like any OpenMV Cam in Python to make it do anything you like via the MicroPython API. The PureThermal OpenMV is the product you’ve been waiting for!
The PureThermal OpenMV is based on the OpenMV Cam H7 Plus by OpenMV. You program it with the amazing OpenMV IDE. It’s got TensorFlow support and can run Neural Networks, it can track colored objects, do person detection, and much more! For those looking to utilize a custom application similar to a handheld style FLIR camera, this is the product to use!
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.
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.

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.
Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

Has anyone managed to sort a case of some sort for this? There was an official one here: https://store.groupgets.com/products/the-official-purethermal-openmv-case but the cost plus shipping was prohibitive for me from here. They are also not making the 3d model of the board available. Anyone have a 3d printed option yet? If not, I'll look into it when I get some spare time...
Looks pretty awesome! It would be nice to have a second video that demonstrates it running/working. Maybe that is forth coming?
