Here’s a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module? Guess it’s just missing a mounting case?

minus-squareGreatAlbatross@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoI’m curious to see what the quality is like. If it’s a similar case to the Enviro hat, and gives good reliable results for less, fantastic. If it’s like the other cheapie thermal sensors on alibaba, less so.
minus-squareMonkderDritte@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoBtw, why is that? It’s not just a CCD in infrared wavelength? Or is it the thermal decoupling part?
minus-squaresolrize@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoNo they are not CCD, they use microbolometers whatever those are. CCD IR sensors are for near infrared only, not the much longer thermal wavelengths.

Ah, thanks.
