Introducing the PureThermal Micro Breakout Board: The Smallest Lepton Breakout Board Ever Made for Easy Thermal Imaging Integration

 The PureThermal Micro Breakout Board is an ultra-compact module that simplifies the process of integrating FLIR's Lepton thermal imaging sensors into various projects. This tiny board packs a punch with its easy interfacing, small form factor, and a range of features that make it an attractive option for hobbyists, researchers, and developers.

Measuring just 12.2x14mm, this is the smallest Lepton breakout board ever made, making it perfect for embedded applications. It can be soldered onto a PCB using the castellated breakout or connected via a 10-pin flat flexible cable (FFC) or flexible printed circuit (FPC) to communicate with the Lepton via I2C and VoSPI. The module takes care of the Lepton voltage supplies and 25MHz master clock, simplifying the integration process for designers.
