FLIR Lepton 3.5 Radiometric Dev Kit

FLIR Lepton 3.5 Radiometric Dev Kit

The FLIR Lepton 3.5 is the world's most popular longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera module, trusted by engineers, makers, and product developers worldwide. This radiometric version outputs calibrated temperature data for every pixel, enabling precise non-contact temperature measurement in a package smaller than a dime. With 160 x 120 resolution, an integrated shutter for automatic non-uniformity correction, and compatibility with breakout boards from SparkFun and GroupGets, the Lepton 3.5 is the go-to thermal sensor for rapid prototyping of IoT devices, handheld thermal imagers, and embedded diagnostic tools across Canadian innovation labs. The FLIR Lepton ecosystem is supported by an extensive library of open-source drivers, Arduino and Raspberry Pi sample projects, and Python wrappers maintained by the community.
