PitFusion Thermal Imaging for Raspberry Pi

Fusion of Thermal Imaging Sensor and Raspberry Pi Camera Module

Similar projects worth following
PitFusion is a powerful yet compact imaging module that integrates a Melexis MLX90640 thermal sensor with a Raspberry Pi Camera Module. This enables users to capture both thermal and visible images simultaneously, making it an essential tool for automation, robotics, security, and environmental monitoring applications. The name "PitFusion" is inspired by the pit viper snake, which uses specialized heat receptors to detect thermal signatures.

PitFusion is an incredible asset for anyone hoping to detect heat, and the plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi devices makes creating different types of devices with any number of roles and industries:
