A project log for Simple Thermal Camera

A thermal camera using a 32 * 24 pixel sensor. Designed to allow lots of substitutions due to the parts shortage!

  1. Two unused mounting points in the "top" of the case need to be removed to provide clearance for the screen.
  2. The top of the case also needs holes for the switches, and a big rectangular cutout for the screen. Start with smaller holes than you think you need, then check for alignment. You can also use the PCB as a guide, or a copy of the PCB printed on paper. If you use a paper printout, you can drill right through it if necessary.
  3. Depending on the DC-DC module, you may need to modify it to fit. I had to remove the big USB socket and then cut down the module's PCB. A hacksaw with very fine teeth works, or you can deeply score the PCB with a knife and then bend it until it snaps along the cut.
