So, finally put a 22kOhm capacitor in on the CS-CE circuit, to 3.3v pin 17, and it works a charm. Lepton is coming up flawlessly everytime, great result. This fixes a fairly major stumbling block. Still struggling a bit with the Reload5 battery module, but did manage to make it boot off of that today. Need to work on that a bit more-or I guess get some rechargable AAs.
Next up will be some drilling and bolting in order to get the helmet mount clip on to the assembly. That plus the power resolution should give a prototype good enough to get onto a firefighter to demo. Also on the to-do is put a power switch into the circuit somewhere so the unit can stay sealed up and powered on/off. And then start playing around with software, make a pretty web gui to control things, etc.
