Mesmerizing video shows Teledyne FLIR’s new autonomous drone-catching cradle matching the movements of a model helicopter and grabbing it the instant it’s within reach. It’ll allow soldiers to launch and recover drones from inside their vehicles.Contin… Continue reading Auto-follow chopsticks grab flying UAVs from the back of a vehicle
Just as the gold standard for multimeters and other instrumentation likely comes in a yellow package of some sort, there is a similar household name for thermal imaging. But, if …read more Continue reading Pocket-Sized Thermal Imager
When it comes to repairability of electronic devices, much depends on how helpful the original manufacturer is. Some make repairs very easy by publishing detailed service manuals and selling spare …read more Continue reading Cheap Display Fix Brings Thermal Camera Back to Life
Intelligent sensing technology company Teledyne FLIR has been awarded US$4 million in initial funding by the Pentagon to develop the “first mass-wearable chemical detector for U.S. troops.”Continue ReadingCategory: Military, TechnologyTags: Chemical We… Continue reading US Army to get first personal wearable chemical detector
The Flir One Pro is a thermal camera that attaches to a mobile phone with a USB-C plug. [Gigawatts] has one, and unfortunately managed to drop it, breaking the USB-C plug and rendering the device useless. The plug is separate …read more

Active volcanic craters are something that people generally don’t want to get very close to – even if they’re dedicated volcanologists. With that in mind, German scientists recently had success using a drone to do the job.Continue ReadingCategory: Dron… Continue reading Drone used to safely study an active volcano
FLIR are making some really great miniature thermal cameras these days, designed for applications such as self-driving cars, and tools that help keep firefighters safe. That’s great and all, but these thermal cameras are so cool, you really just want to play with one. That’s what [greg] was thinking when he designed a PCB backpack that captures thermal images from a FLIR Boson and stores it on an SD card. It’s a thermal action cam, and an impressive bit of FPGA development, too.
The FLIR product in question is a Boson 640, an impressive little camera that records in 640×512 …read more

Here’s a challenge for all you hardware hackers out there. Peter Jansen has opened up the Hot Camera Contest on Hackaday.io to use a thermal imaging camera in a battery-powered project.
The challenge here is simple. Use a Flir Lepton thermal imaging camera module in a battery-powered configuration. There’s a catch, though: this is a project to use the Lepton in radiometric mode, where the camera spits out an actual temperature value for each pixel. Yes, this is a documented feature in the Flir Lepton module, but so far very few people are using it, and no one has done …read more
