![]() With an impressive ability to find the perfect part, sourced a Lattice iCE40 FPGA in an 8×8 mm package along with an 8 Mbit HyperRAM in a 6×8 package. Once he found out about the Boson, he figured a backpack PCB for this camera would be possible and a great excuse to teach himself FPGAs with a hands-on project. ![]() This is a huge improvement over FLIR’s Tau camera, for which built a breakout board with Ethernet and DDR memory a few years ago. This one’s got the 95° field of view, giving it a very good specification in a very small footprint. The FLIR product in question is a Boson 640, an impressive little camera that records in 640×512 resolution, with a 60 Hz update rate. It’s a thermal action cam, and an impressive bit of FPGA development, too. That’s what was thinking when he designed a PCB backpack that captures thermal images from a FLIR Boson and stores it on an SD card. That’s great and all, but these thermal cameras are so cool, you really just want to play with one. FLIR are making some really great miniature thermal cameras these days, designed for applications such as self-driving cars, and tools that help keep firefighters safe. ![]()
