Thermal imaging camera - FLiR Lepton Dev Kit V2 - SparkFun KIT-15948

Product description: Thermal imaging camera - FLiR Lepton Dev Kit V2

A kit containing the Flir Lepton V2 thermal imaging camera, and a board to facilitate its connection. The Lepton LWIR radiometric module has a resolution of 80 x 60 px and registers infrared radiation of wavelength range from 8 μm to 14 μm. An SPI interface is required to read the image. The I2C bus is used to configure the camera, although it is not absolutely required. The device is powered from 3 V to 5.5 V.

Lepton Dev Kit V2 is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcomputers.
