Hey everyone, just a quick heads-up - there's was a bit of a technical hiccup with some account data, so we've had to clean out any stored addresses. We just know how much fun it is to type it in again, but fortunately any address that's used with an order will automatically get saved to […]
Thermal Master Thermal Imager
Solarbotics Ltd
January 20, 2025
These are thermal, not Infrared cameras, returning temperature data in a tight and tidy bundle that can be plugged into Android, IOS, and other USB devices (like Raspberry-Pi SBCs!).
What use is it? Here's what we've done with it over the last month:
- Did thermal house-leakage analysis using on my Android phone.
- Successfully diagnose a stuck-open thermostat on my truck (it was taking very long to heat up in our freezing Calgary winter).
- Detected a bruise forming on my forearm before it was visible
- Diagnose a bad voltage regulator on a motherboard
- Count animals in the park across the street
- Use some excellent open-source software to run it on a Rock Pi SBC for in-store demos
And it's small. The basic unit starts at just over $220, and there are models with additional macro-settings, pistol-grip mounts, and advanced software settings.
Presently not on the website yet, but it is available in-store at Active-Tech Calgary.

Friday New Product: Grove Stuff
New today is the Grove series from SeeedStudio. What makes Grove different is that is very modular, making quick-prototyping quite rapid. Usually this is an expensive feature. The rule of thumb is "Price, Speed, Quality - pick any two", but Seeed has made the 3 curves match just right.
