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.

Purolator and UPS options are not impacted, and have no delays. Ok class, fictional robotic history refresher course 101: […]
