The DIY thermographer is a camera which creates an image of what temperature things are -- a 'heat' camera. We're making a 'scanning thermal imager' which means we just use a temperature sensor and sweep it back and forth over a scene, recording the temperature variation to build up an image that looks like this:



There are two main parts to the project: the camera itself (currently made of Legos and an <a href="http://arduino.cc">Arduino</a>, and the website, <a href="http://thermographer.publiclaboratory.org">thermographer.publiclaboratory.org</a>, which helps you create an image from your recorded temperatures. Both are under development and we don't yet have a demo to show you. Check back soon!
