Commercial Thermopile Board

Hi All:

I found a discussion last fall about the 2 axis thermopile board being available soon, but have not seen the commercial product mentioned again. Is this a dead issue or did I miss it in my search?

Does this board work significantly beter than the Paparazzi ir sensor with the Ardupilot?

Thanks, Roger

The thermopile sensors are covered by a FMA patent and as a result we would not be able to manufacture them more cheaply than the FMA ones. So that's why recommend theirs instead. All the IR sensors work pretty much the same now (the FMA one has improved resistors now)
