Description

Imagine the potential of an opensource handheld camera that can double as a full featured linux tablet with add on hardware modules, the first of which is a IR sensitive camera platform. No longer will you be forced to settle for the limited functionality of the devices we use today, taking full advantage of the vast knowledge the opensource community has to offer along with modern 3d printing technologies enables us to go from concept to physical in a matter of days which i will be demonstrating as this build progresses.

Most of the parts have been delivered and after a small setback chasing down a problem with the rpi i'm back on track. The 3d printed camera module lens adapter is finished and works perfectly, next up is to print a adapter for the visible light filter(s). Stay tuned for a much more detailed update to follow.
