Is anyone interested in building their own cheap fast Thermal Camera?
I have a pretty nice DIY solution finished (check back a page of two), although its nowhere near as nice as the OpenIRV
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/openirv-isc0901b0-(autoliv-nv3-flir-e4568)-based-opensource-thermal-camera/But, it's cheap as it uses a Chinese FPGA module (<20 euro), a Raspberry Pi Pico with micropython for unlocking, and a handful of components that can be hand soldered (the Decoded chip is a little tricky).
I was thinking about selling a PCB board, as a kit on Tindie/Etsy, together with all the code.
Is anyone interested? If so, let me know if you would prefer:
a) A 4.5 inch 480x320 LCD, and have a hand-held device that can run on a USB battery pack
b) A 7 inch 800v480 LCD, and have a hand-held device that can run on a USB battery pack
b) an adapter from the NVCAM to 480P HDMI for display on any HDMI monitor, or with a USB capture dongle as a webcam
A kit (PCB and the parts in a bag) for maybe 120 euro, and assemble for 150, BYO NVCAM
Any feedback?
