Thermal camera!
Here is my version of the thermal scanner (or camera) using:
- 1x Arduino Uno
- 1x sensor MLX90614
- 2x servo Fitec FS90
- 1x 16x2 Serial LCD
The Arduino send data of each scan to the Host.
The Host runs a Python application for:
- Opening the communication
- Sending scan parameters (pan and tilt resolutions and ranges)
- Receiving the data
- Displaying the thermal image
The Arduino program is built thanks to the following librairies:
- Adafruit_MLX90614.h : see GitHub - adafruit/Adafruit-MLX90614-Library: Arduino library for the MLX90614 sensors in the Adafruit shop
- LibSerLcdArduino.h : see https://github.com/alinagithub/LibSerLcdArduino
- LibComArduino.h : see https://github.com/alinagithub/LibComArduino
- MemoryFree.h : see GitHub - maniacbug/MemoryFree: Arduino MemoryFree library. Hosting it on github for easy access
