Lepton 3.5

[Loremwriter]

Hello,

Just a little question from germany. :) I want to start to build this project, but im just wondering, if I can order the Lepton 3.5 Sensor instead of the lepton 3.0. Is the 3.5 radiometric or do I have to expect any obstacles while building your thermocam with a 3.5 instead of 3.0?

The Lepton3.5 is pretty new, it was just released last week. It is fully radiometric like the Lepton2.5, so you do not need the MLX90614 spot sensor.

I will hopefully get my Lepton3.5 by the end of next week, so I can make the firmware compatible with it. On the hardware side, you don't have to worry about any changes.

Wishes, Max

That's great! Yes its quite new, but could you maybe post a reply, if it works with Laptop 3.5. At this moment I would order my parts to build the cam. Or do you think I can order it anyway, because the firmware will be compatible then? :)

Thanks. :)

You can go ahead and buy it, I will make the firmware compatible next weekend if my sensor is already there until then ;)

I was thinking about upgrading my cam to the 3.5 since I broke the shutter when taking apart my One for the sensor. Does it hurt if the spot sensor is soldered in when switching the module?

[maxritter]

Nope, the spot sensor is just not used when a radiometric Lepton is detected.

Support for the FLIR Lepton3.5 was added with FW version 2.45

Thank you! :)

Just a quick question concerning the Lepton: Is there a difference between the "500-0771-01-ND" and the "500-0771-01"?

And is there any reason why I should buy the resistive LCD instead of the capacitive, like controller or compatibility? I guess I would prefer the capacitive. :)
