FLIR BeagleBone Blue challenge

If you’re into robotics then this challenge is for you! The FLIR Lepton 3 is a radiometric-capable LWIR camera solution that is smaller than a dime, can fit inside a smartphone, and is ten times less expensive than a traditional IR camera. Using focal plane arrays of 160 x 120 active pixels, Lepton 3 easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR sensor or thermal imager.

The Prizes

• Five finalists will win a Lepton 3 and a BeagleBone Blue board.
• The grand prize package includes a CAT S60 smartphone with integrated thermal imaging from FLIR and an EduMiP robot with BeagleBone® Blue from Beagleboard.org, and promotion of your project by both companies!
