Materials

Each person will need:

  • resistors
  • tape and stuff

If you have it:

  • a high-power RGB LED like the BlinkM MaxM, and an idea of how to connect it up

Code, plans, documentation

There is already a writeup on how to do this, and more information in the thermal camera research notes listing.
