Thermal sensor

Having spent most of yesterday hacking and optimizing the firmware for the new Dexter Industries Thermal IR Sensor, Xander thought he would go ahead and make something fun with it today.
he built a pan and tilt rig for the sensor with a great deal of gearing down to allow me to take a lot of measurements as the rig moved around. Initially he had it set for about 40×40 measurements but those didn’t look that great and he wanted a bit more. He reprogrammed it and made it spit out data at a resolution of about 90×80.

He gets some great looking images of both a cold bottle and a hot flame.












From what I hear, he's working on increasing the resolution and range that the sensor can output.

Building Instructions

Great ones in the nxtprograms.com and at http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/support/buildinginstructions/8547/Bonus%20Model%201.aspx
For those of you that have HiTechnic sensor there are a few models to build at http://www.hitechnic.com/models
And look at www.nxtprograms.com for stuff for NXT 1.0 and 2.0
Another site but with a little more complicated stuff, http://mynxt.matthiaspaulscholz.eu/index.html might need
some extra pieces
Also another random site: http://robotics.bendettelli.com
