3 years ago Hey, I am really glad you found a better solution for your project! Another one to check out is OpenMV, which has a thermal image adapter and a really slick IDE that lets you see the intermediate frames as you're doing image processing work on the image. All done in Python with a pretty advanced set of OpenCV-like bindings. Really good stuff!
I'll eventually be getting back to this (because finishing it seems fun), but you're right, there are better solutions out there for this particular application, and that's just been like that for quite some time. Just even attempting to get this on an Arduino at the time would had already been a huge accomplishment, if it would had worked with the earlier chipsets when I first wrote such.
I hope that whatever people use though help them out, ultimately! =)
I was waiting, like many of you, for this kind developer to be able to work on this again, and allow a Teensy 4.x to work with a lepton 3.5. I appreciate the framework and time that was put into this project, because it was most like what I was looking for; thank you, @NachtRaveVL!
However, the opensource project DIY Thermocam can be easily made to work with Lepton 3.5 and Teensy 4.1 (I was able to recompile the firmware to support Teensy 4.0, by removing some code/functionality). I would suggest giving that a shot, even with other combinations of hardware, because the end product has a lot of useful functionality that came from a lot of development time on their end.
