I'm leaning towards using SPI directly (rather than USB) for interfacing Lepton 3.5 in a future hardware revision.

It would bring down the cost of the device (the GroupGets Purethermal board costs ~100USD).
It would mitigate the need for bulky USB connectors inside the case.
The transition should be relatively easy. The pylepton package could be used to interface lepton module.

If you're using AI Thermometer and have any thoughts on this change, feel free to comment below.

Hi! This would be very interesting! I do not have the Purethermal, I have the breakoutboard V2 and I would like to use ai-thermometer

Hey Tomasz, are you still planning to add support for the SPI lepton board?

Hello Tomasz! Are u still developing the SPI feature?
