After another two weeks of work evaluating and implementing different features / improvements / changes to TJ, I present you the TJ Gen2 prototype and shields:
- TJ Gen2 thermal imager - baseboard (lower right corner)
- 37.5 x 20.5 mm
- 2 versions depending on the included thermal sensor
- Omron D6T-1616L (16x16 FPA) --- $99
- Panasonic AMG883x (8x8 FPA) --- $49?
- audio-jack interface (iOS devices)
- USB interface (Android / PC / Mac)
- 12-pin shield-connector
- BLE shield (upper left corner)
- based on the popular $6 HM-10 module
- allows low-power remote connections to TJ
- can be piggy-backed on the battery shield for battery-operation
- WIFI module
- no-shield needed (simply plug a $4.5 ESP8266-based module in TJ's shield-connector)
- allows longer-range remote connections to TJ
- can be piggy-backed on the battery shield for battery-operation
- Battery shield
- provides power to TJ through a standard 2-pin JST LiPo battery connector
- charges LiPo batteries
aaaand... what's that on the lower left corner? It's a...
- Display shield
- uses a $10, 1.5" OLED 128x128 color display
- an <$4, 1.44" LCD 128x128 color display will also be evaluated
- contains an uSD card slot for saving thermal images and video
- 2 buttons
- a LiPo charger and connector
- Should allow TJ to become a stand-alone ultra low-cost thermal-camera :)
- uses a $10, 1.5" OLED 128x128 color display
The PCBs have just been ordered today at a China fab and should probably arrive late next-week.
