Download and install the enhanced thermal program:Īnd edit crontab to remove old script, and instead point to raspithermalcamoverlaykiosk.sh.Log into the Raspberry Pi with SSH or keyboard (defaults to "pi/raspberry").The camera should be facing forward, like a digital camera: LCD screen towards you and camera towards (hot) object. The Raspbian GUI is NOT NEEDED, so uses their custom Jessie Lite. IT WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE.Īlso, it expects the assembled version of the Adafruit 2.8" 320x240 PiTFT Plus screen otherwise the screen layout will NOT ALIGN and the GPIO buttons will NOT FUNCTION as expected. This project just replaces the Adafruit thermalcam.py with a new python program. You MUST have the Adafruit tutorial version installed and working before using this. Box to hold battery, computer and camera.5V external USB Battery (such as external cellphone rechargeable) with 2 amp output.Faceplate and case for PiTFT and Raspberry Pi 3 ID 2807.Adafruit 2X20 Pin IDC Box Header ID 1993.It DOES NOT require the Cobbler as mentioned, but does need a cable to connect the camera.Raspberry Pi 3, 4GB or larger micro SD card.PiTFT Plus 2.8" TFT 320x240 Touch Screen ID 2298.It also specifically requires the Adafruit PiTFT Plus 2.8" 320x240 screen to be installed and running.Adafruit AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera Breakout ID 3538.NOTE: This project assumes the user has set up their Raspberry Pi using the Adafruit tutorial mentioned above, thus consists of: See the subdirectory RaspiThermalCam/Zero for details. Zero Owners: A Raspberry Pi Zero can be used instead of a Pi 3, sacrificing speed.

See Full Instructions in the RaspiThermalCam.pdf document (See below) This project only needs the Jessie Lite-based PiTFT Resitive Image, as it does not use the GUI. The PiTFT display uses Adafruit's custom Linux Kernel. With this project, I took the excellent Adafruit tutorial Raspberry Pi Thermal Camera by Dean Miller and added extra functionality to the software and hardware. The former uses only the heat given off by the object being imaged, while the latter requires an infrared light source such as IR LEDs to illuminate the object. Note that IR Thermal Cameras are NOT the same as NOIR cameras. Of course, the resolution and sensitivity are not as high as more advanced cameras, but hey, for $39 it’s a great deal. The Adafruit AMG8833 IR Thermal Camera board can provide a “FLIR™”-like imaging camera at about 1/10th the price of previous IR Thermal imaging units.
