Pure Thermal 1 Development Board

Pure Thermal 1 is the next development platform for the Flir Lepton. Fusing the powerful STM32 with the Lepton

Similar projects worth following
By connecting the Flir Lepton with the STM32 micro-controller we get a small, low power, thermal sensor platform to enable others to easily develop their custom thermal applications.

This board combines a lot of input of the ideas generated by the community here. The STM32 has just enough horsepower to do some basic signal processing and do something useful with it without taking a lot of power or space.
Also out of the box it can do color, 9 Hz video over usb using the USB UVC class, so it can be quite useful for non developers as well to do evaluation and testing of the capabilities of the Flir Lepton.

The PCB keeps the same 1"x1" size as the original breakout board, but adds a ton of functionality. A few extra additions are an infrared thermopile(TMP007) and a li-ion charger.

To enable easy development the STM USB boot-loader is easily entered via a simple push button sequence. Also 100 mil pitched holes breakout UART and I2C.
