Dear Friend,
I'm happy to present the prototype of Virtualrobotix thermal camera.
In last months we work a lot on this new project , it's based on new Flir sensor and VR uBrain 5.1.
We implement a specific firmware on uBrain for control the flir sensor , read image , trasmit it in realtime by USB or Bluetooth to PC or Mobile application.
The actual function supported in early prototype are :
- Live video streaming.
- Recording on SD card.
- Snapshot by event (push a button or specific programmable event).
- We storage raw data and telemetry data from sensor so is possible to have a very detailed information about the temperature of all the point available in the image .
- Is possible to analyse the image of VR Thermal Camera in realtime or in post processing with a specific appication.
Actually we are developing specific application for our UAV especially for VR Spark as an alternative payload , actually we intend to propose this solution for video inspection in energy enviroment or solar field and a lot of other UAV or not UAV application if you are interested on this kind of technology contact me at :

I mean, I really like the idea of the lepton module and it's got some great potential uses, but like the high-end gopro, it's just a bit too expensive to risk crashing into the ground (for me & my own use). I'm happy to use the Mobius & 808 cameras, i'm happy to crash for the sake of experimentation, it would be great if Flir price the v1 module at the same price as the mobius, they'd sell gazillions and totally win the market.
Hi Benbijangles,
actually we evaluate to develop camere on this first revision of lepton but we are waiting also a new one at double resolution . During our development we check that is possible develop a lot of different kind of application with this kind of sensor.
I inquired with Flir early last year about the lepton module and they would only offer me 1000units minimum at $300 per unit. When it comes down to $60 per unit then I will talk deals and handshakes.
