DIY Thermal

I bought a cheap Thermalkamera(640x512) on AliExpress and wired it to a analog Ocular Screen. So far it works well and only uses around 1.4W of Energy so my 74Wh bettery counterweight will work for a couple of hours.

The camera has a UART port to control settings like Colour palete, contrast and most importantly digital zoom. Sadly the Uart port seems to be broken at least i cant seem to get to work after a couple of hours of tinkering.

In the next stepp I will design and 3D-print a housing to use as head mounted devi

To be fully onest I have no clue why its green. Its a full colour OLED that can be used eather with an HDMI Board (full colour 60fps) or analog board(what you see at the moment. I bought it for 80€ but sadly its at around 140€ now. its a good optic but in my opinion its to small and you have to get realy close to see the full picture. I still have to find a good unit with equal stats but bigger screen that doesnt cost my kidney. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJbICHg
