Thermal Imaging Module Added to ATLAS

A project log for ATLAS

Built the tricorder I actually wanted in the field: one that warns, not just measures.

Latest field module just came together and it's pretty solid.

Added thermal imaging capability to the ATLAS system, real-time display, proper decimal temperature readings, CSV data capture, and some custom font work to make everything actually readable on the small screen.

This one was a grind, lots of custom code, hardware tweaks, and plenty of "why won't this buffer render correctly" debugging sessions.

What it does:

On the source: This one's staying closed. It's been pretty R&D intensive and honestly, I'm keeping this module proprietary for now.

Happy to discuss the technical approach though—sensor integration, display optimization, UI design choices, whatever. Just not sharing the implementation.

More modules in the works. 

P.S. If you're working on something similar and want to compare notes, feel free to reach out. Always down to talk through the technical challenges.
