Thanks! I used to have a cheap FDM 3d printer years ago, super useful for prototyping, I'm really interested by the resin based printers so might try it one of these days when I have more space

Thanks and glad you liked it!

Haha happy to hear it, these videos are almost as fun to make as the tools themselves!

Cheers, Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Yeah it's pretty cool!

Thanks! Yes, the fun of figuring it out yourself is the best part for me

Yes you're absolutely right for my filter and most filters with threads. I was just interested in learning the logic behind it, and you can get the filters without a case/threaded side

Agreed it's more obvious in person, I'll try and get a closer photo of it for next time!

I worried at first too, but if you slightly rotate the binoculars the sun will move around with the Sunspots perfectly, and any smudges won't. I also confirmed it with camera zoom photos showing the same sunspots, I'll post a comparison video on this at some point!

It really is! Thanks!

I know right!! There's something about seeing it with the eyes that feels different from a photo

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks WoodInn, it was a fun build!

Hey Pablo, Sure I based my work off of the publicly available code on github.com/PureEngineering/LeptonModule where the guy did an awesome job of interfacing the module over i2c with both arduino and raspberry pi

Sameer Ansari Hey Sameer, Thank you for your reply. I am using the same code but as you may know, the UNO is not fast enough to process the image and when I try to use the Galileo, the code cannot compile giving me the following error: sketch_feb23a.ino: In function 'void read_lepton_frame()': sketch_feb23a.ino:60:5: error: 'PORTB' was not declared in this scope sketch_feb23a.ino: In function 'void lepton_sync()': sketch_feb23a.ino:77:3: error: 'PORTB' was not declared in this scope I am curious how were you able to obtain information/a picture from the camera and how you work around it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I used a mega which has more memory, and threw away half the data to fit. The microcontrollers are more than fast enough since the data rate of the lepton is so low (9fps and 80x60 pixels)

Sameer Ansari Perfect, we also have an Arduino Mega. We ran the code through it and we believe that we are getting stuck at the point of read_reg(unsigned int reg) at the section =>reading=Wide.read(). We arrived to this conclusion since on the Mega we only get to: setup complete beginTransmission Do you know why this might be? Also, would you be comfortable in sharing your code with us? if it is not too much to ask. Thanks!

Of the top of my head I think you may need to check that port calls are correct as they change with the Mega

Thanks! Yep it was sad realizing this after uploading
