tutorial overview:
- write Raspbian Bullseye 64 bit image to an SD card - not Raspbian Bookworm!
- boot and configure your Pi
- boot into desktop
- download c22 thermal camera installer: ...
- start the install script
- reboot
- open the autostart script starter.sh in a text editor
- and uncomment the line(s) for your camera
- start raspi-config and enable composite video out
- reboot
- have fun
Installer package v002b_x (for Raspbian Bullseye 64 bit!): drive.google.com/file/d/1i6jh...
(installer updated: 07/15/24 - solves numpy 2.x issues)
The installer was made for Raspbian Bullseye, not for Raspbian Bookworm! A lot of stupid changes were made from Bullseye to Bookworm (packages were renamed, Python needs a sandbox, etc.). Raspbian Bullseye isn't end of life - eol: June 2026.

This is just a quick hack. Goal is an inexpensive thermal camera which already supports composite out (576i, PAL, 4:3) by adding an additional MCU or using the onboard MCU. It should add less than $20. Any inexpensive FPV camera ($10+) supports composite out.

    FAQs: 1.) Which cameras are supported at the moment? Infiray P2 Pro, Seek Compact series, MLX90640, Todpon tc001, Infiray T3S?, Infiray/Xinfrared X2? 2.) Camera recommendation? Infiray P2 Pro - inexpensive, tiny, focus-free lens 3.) The install script freezes. What can I do? Add more swap memory to the Raspbian OS or if you don't need the Seek driver remove the following lines from the script (with a text editor): cd build cmake .. make 4.) The Seek app output isn't full screen and parts of the desktop and the window decor is visible. How to hide that? checkout the tools folder and execute the scripts "window-decor-off" and "hide-desktop" and play with the scale factor of the Seek app. 5.) Which Raspbian PI Linux is support and where can I download it? The installer was written for Raspbian Bullseye (Raspbian Bookwork isn't supported) - download www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ (scroll down to Bullseye 64 bit). Here's the version I use in the tutorial (feb 23): drive.google.com/file/d/1dLVzgnG6x_ATfXYc8b1l8TkVihpNRPV-/view?usp=drive_link 6.) thermal camera manufacturer: what driver supports the current project? The main driver is the Linux UVC/V4L2 driver, which is compatible with many many cameras & webcams - www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.19/media/v4l-drivers/uvcvideo.html . Any UVC camera works out of the box with this project. If your firmware isn't supported by the kernel drivers you can create and run additional UVC drivers too. 7.) thermal camera manufacturer: how can we easily test our cameras? - Install the V4L2 (video4linux) packages and the webcam app Webcamoid and reboot the OS - open a terminal as root user and type "tail -f /var/log/messages" (log output) - plug in your camera and check the log terminal - start webcamoid . Select the camera and test the available resolutions. That's it.

The Terminal now stopped and says sudo pip3 install pithermalcam cp: cannot stat 'pi_therm_cam.py': No such file or directory can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- pi_therm_cam.py 2023-05-03 17:03:28.000000000 +0200 |+++ py-th-cam-last-v4.py 2023-05-03 17:22:02.000000000 +0200 ---------------------------- File to Patch: Do you have any suggestions? The Projekt is very interesting and i really like to get it running. I leave the pi as it is now and hope you have an idea because i dont quite know what to do 😅

    It worked so far for me without a complete freeze, but I wouldn't fly it without an additional FPV camera and working GPS rescue. I don't know how reliable those inexpensive thermal cameras are if they run 30+ min and the Raspberry Pi could crash as well or a screen saver could be activated (even though they are deactivated).

Also i have a new and Major issue, the TBS UNIFY PRO32 NANO 5G8 is interrupting and bombing out my GPS satellite signals on my drone even at the lowest 25mw setting, did you face the same issues and if so how to resolve? I've strapped it to a DJI Mini 4 Pro if that makes a difference? As soon as i strap it or get it to within about 8" from the drone i lose all GPS satellites...

    Update on the GPS Signal issue: I've established that It's not the VTX knocking out the GPS signal but more likely just simple overhead interference from a solid object placed over the GPS antenna. I tried a series of isolation tests power on, VTX off, shielding plates etc and it didn't matter what i did until i moved the raspberry pi to underneath the drone then i received GPS signal again. So back to the drawing board, i will have to design another way to attach the Thermal setup to underneath which i wanted to avoid due to less space but i have not choice!

    check out the tutorial video, it's pretty simple. But you need the Infiray P2 Pro ($250). It's the only inexpensive thermal camera with a high frame rate and the renderer is pretty good out of the box (hot white). And you need a Raspberry PI Zero 2W or a Pi 4 or Pi 3 (a). Older Pi's work too, but with a lower frame rate. Here's an Infiray P2 Pro example together with an FPV low light camera: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaWY2pSBedzZd6w.html Good luck!

    do you mean the freezing from time to time? The camera is recalibrating itself when the temperature of the camera changes. That usually gets better with a better cooling. It's much better when the camera is mounted on top of a drone and with a mount that doesn't cover too much of the camera.

Then type "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" and plug in the camera - the log should show some infos. Open another terminal and execute the app "webcamoid". If the camera is supported by the v4l driver you can select a resolution and see some kind of video output. If this works I need the the available resolutions and a screenshot of the video output to create a simple bash command for the framework. Thanks.
