Description

Build a thermal camera using Raspberry Pi, an MLX90640 and the Pi camera V2. This fuses the Pi's camera feed with a thermal graphic overlay. A Python script features a graphical interface that allows you to control the overlay's opacity and temperature range, and even take screenshots.
