Right, had a couple of probationaries heading to national rookie training (I'm also brigade training officer, sigh) so this languished for a bit while getting them ready for the course. But back into it.

Curiously enough, despite posts that it works great with the model 2, I've had no joy. Gonna have to figure that out. Meanwhile tho I just went back to the model 1 B, and have a fully working, if cranky, application. I've read that one way around the camera choking on boot is a resistor on pin 26 (cs), may try that route and see if it's reliable. At the moment it happily boots and runs the app, but I need to cycle power to the Lepton to get it up. Have also purchased a couple of 2" tfts, will be experimenting with these vs the sunglass display. Next step is to cram all the loose wires etc into some sort of reasonably usable case, and sort out a battery power supply for the lot.
