![]() ![]() ![]() Lepton features many proprietary technologies, including wafer-level detector packaging, wafer-scale micro-optics, a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and a low-cost, easy-to-integrate camera package. Launched in 2014, FLIR Lepton became the industry’s first longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera small enough for smartphone integration, at a price point approximately ten times less expensive than previous traditional thermal camera modules. Additionally, FLIR announced it is making its highest resolution Lepton, FLIR Lepton 3, available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for product integration. Lepton is today the world’s smallest and most widely deployed microbolometer thermal imaging camera module. (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced today it has produced its one millionth FLIR Lepton® microcamera core. The Lepton 3 would be a good step up from 80 x 60 on a drone.WILSONVILLE, OR–(Marketwired – April 11, 2017) –įLIR Systems, Inc. I suspected it was due to the Lepton 3 not being generally available. The drone brigade currently have such an adapter for the Lepton 2 but it does not support the Lepton 3 yet. Maybe we will see some Lepton 3 autonomous adapters appearing that provide user friendly output like composite video etc. Just noticed that Lepton 3's are now in Digikey Įxcellent news :) Thank Mike. At the moment, and for the foreseeable future, faulty F1G2 dongles are the cheapest source of LEPTON 3 camera cores. The FLIR designed Silicon diffraction lens is very much a low resolution compromise solution and can be improved upon with conventional optics. I am looking into attaching a better lens assembly to the LEPTON as they may well improve the images produced significantly. It really is a neat little thermal imaging building block. #Lepton flir price code#The joy of the LEPTON is that it is a complete calibrated and configured thermal camera core so just needs interfacing to a host and there is no dead pixel mapping or calibration to worry about writing code for. It may well be possible to re-purpose the F1G2 PCB but I have no experience of that. It will plug straight into one of the Groupgets development PCB's designed for the Lepton 2 and 3. The FLIR One G2 is really easy to open and because the LEPTON 3 is socketed, it is easy to harvest from the PCB. Not forgetting that the iOS version also contains the Apple ID chip :) Fraser ![]() A pretty good experimentation platform at a knock down price. When buying a F1G2 you also get a semi development board and the socket for the Lepton. I have yet to receive one that has a faulty LEPTON Core in it. If you are looking to experiment with a LEPTON 3 on a tight budget, think about buying one of the many customer returns or faulty units. The LEPTON 3 in the F1G2 is no different to that supplied to OEM's in terms of hardware. The purpose of this post is to highlight that there is a relatively cheap and easily accessible source of LEPTON 3 cores out there. The seller also sold two more at a similar price. I have bought several for around £65 and repaired all but one. ![]() I am aware of several 'Customer Returns' sellers on eBay who get quite regular stock of faulty or 'unwanted' F1G2 cameras. I have declined the requests as the margins are too small on these cameras to make it worth my time repairing them for the seller. I have recently been approached to repair large numbers of these cameras that are customer returns. These contain a LEPTON 3 with the optional shutter assembly. The core is priced at around $250 ! For some time now I have been repairing FLIR One Generation 2 camera dongles. Hi all, As some readers will know, FLIR recently announced that they would be selling the LEPTON 3 imaging core to OEM's. FLIR LEPTON 3 - a cheap source and regular availability ![]()
