This package implements a robust, efficient Go interface to the FLIR Lepton 3 thermal cameras. Care is taken to avoid memory allocations in the critical path where possible to maximise performance.

A reasonably simple example of how to use the package can be found in the leptonutil subdirectory. This is a utility which captures frames from the camera and optionally saves them to PNG files.

To build leptonutil for the Raspberry Pi:

$ export GOARCH=arm
$ export GOARM=7
$ cd leptonutil
$ go build    # not install!

The data sheet for the camera contains a wealth of useful information. It can be found here: http:https://www.flir.com/uploadedFiles/OEM/Products/LWIR-Cameras/Lepton/Lepton-3-Engineering-Datasheet.pdf
