GroupGets PureThermal 2
The PureThermal 2 FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Module is a hackable thermal webcam
module for the FLIR Lepton Longwave Infrared (LWIR) camera core. It ships pre-
configured to operate as a plug-and-play UVC 1.0 USB thermal webcam that will
work with standard webcam apps such as VLC Media Player on PC, Linux, Mac,
and Android.
For developers, it's reference firmware and hardware schematic are open source
for customized applications. We have also created an open source software
application, GetThermal, to view Lepton data on x86 Linux and macOS platforms.
For computers using a Microsoft Windows OS you can use the
App
on the Lepton Getting Started page under the Downloads section.
GetThermal as well as the FLIR Lepton User App with a PureThermal 2 (PT2) both
support the radiometric mode of Lepton 2.5 & 3.5. Stay up to date with
resources, video, and software for PT2 at its
FEATURES
Get Thermal video over USB right out of the box using freeware apps like VLC on Mac, Linux,
Windows, or Android
PT2 can do 9 Hz color video over usb using the USB UVC class
STM32F412 ARM microprocessor. Execute on-board image processing without the need for an
external system
Through-holes for GPIO and peripheral breakouts to easily attach other devices
Open source reference firmware is on the GroupGets Github
Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) the STM32 ARM MCU over USB
Debug via JTAG through a 6-Pin plug-of-Nails port using a Tag-Connect TC2030-IDC-NL, an
ARM20-CTX, & ST-Link V/2.
Powered via USB
UART, I2C, and GPIO Expansion via standard 0.1" holes
Compatible with all current 2.x and 3.x Lepton cores
Compact 30 x 18mm form-factor that can be embedded into other modules or inconspicuously
housed as a standalone web, research, or security camera

  • Page 3 VLC, and many other video players. UVC-Capture Examples The PureThermal FLIR Lepton development board by GroupGets supports the USB video class (UVC), and this makes it very easy to capture thermal imaging data from a host PC using standard tools and libraries. If you want to prototype quickly, your application demands increasing processing power, or you simply don't want to hack on the firmware, check out these examples to get started.
  • Page 4 Programming PureThermal 2 You can program the PureThermal 2 over USB in DFU-Mode. If you're not compiling from source you can download the firmware from our PureThermal Firmware releases section here and substitute the .bin file in the .tgz for main.bin in the commands below.
