Arduino Thermal Imaging Sensor

Arduino thermal imaging sensor.

The arduino is used as an interface in this project. The thermal imaging sensor is a one kind of sensor used to determine an image based on the absolute temperature of the object. In this example we use an adafruit 1 44 color tft. Pcb board for holding the laser and sensor.

Diy arduino thermal imaging camera thermal imaging cameras draw the image by detecting the heat signatures of that object. With some code changes you can use other size displays but a color display is best of course. One of those issues that i ran into a lot was communication syncs. The image is formed based on the object s heat signature.

This example just connects to the sensor and reads the internal thermistor to test your connections. Typically these require equipments such as flir b60 which are worth 5000 to 8000. While this is a simple operation there are some critical areas that need to be addressed. You must have seen them in discovery or national geography channel where they used them to take pictures of animals in deep dark.

At least 5 wires are needed to connect the sensor to the arduino and laser 100 kk housings terminals 6 cir. It allows the servos and ir sensor to communicate easily with the computer using simple commands. They are also called night vision cameras. With a maximum frame rate of 10hz it s perfect for creating your own human detector or mini thermal camera.

2 54mm for the ribbon cable. These devices record the present signatures of the devices based on their heat pattern and do not require a beam such as active infrared devices. Once uploaded to your arduino open up the serial console at 9600 baud speed to see the internal thermistor reading. This article by david schneider however talks about a cheap diy camera.

A thermal imaging camera is used for the purpose of energy auditing for homes and offices. We have code for using this breakout on an arduino or compatible the sensor communicates over i2c or on a raspberry pi with python. Adafruit 1 44 color tft lcd display with microsd card breakout.
