## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN-16465:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN-16465:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The FLIR Lepton® 2.5 - Thermal Imaging Module is a radiometric-capable long wave infrared (LWIR) camera solution that is smaller than a dime, fits inside a smartphone, and is less expensive than traditional IR cameras. With a focal plane array of 80x60 active pixels, this Lepton easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR sensor or thermal image sensor. The radiometric Lepton captures accurate, calibrated, and non-contact temperature data in every pixel.
