thermal sensors

(1/1)

AntiTheta:
does anyone know of a good thermal sensor for detecting an object that is warmer than any of the objects around it by about 15o C from about 5 ft away?

Admin:
What about these?

Thermal Imaging (Infrared Spectrum Only) Camera

There are also these no contact thermometers . . .

AntiTheta:
I was looking for something that could be atached to the Atom Bot board without to much modification. curently the only robot club in my area is the one that I am a part of and we just started last year. So we don't have that much experiance with robots.

Admin:
You can hack into to no contact thermometer, and hook up the output to your atom board.

Just open it up, and use a multimeter to find useable signal that represents the temperature.

What you are asking for isnt easy.

You can probably use a flame detector such as that used in the firebot competitions . . . but I dont think the accuracy is very good.

Why do you need this? You doing USAR perhaps and looking for bodies?

AntiTheta:
competition hosted by our section of IEEE.
