## Description

Turn an Android phone, Windows PC or Raspberry Pi into a thermal imager – plug it into a USB-C port and watch the heat distribution of everything in view, streamed live at up to 25 FPS.

Tracking down an overheating regulator, an intermittent solder joint, a failing motor bearing or a draughty window frame normally means a dedicated handheld thermal camera. This wide-angle version packs a 122° (D) × 90° (H) × 67° (V) field of view, so you can capture a whole PCB, electrical panel or room from close range without stepping back.

Inside is an 80 × 62 pixel hybrid microbolometer/thermopile array with a shutterless design, so the thermal stream runs continuously without the periodic freeze of a mechanical shutter. It measures from -40 °C to 400 °C and draws just 20 mA at 5 V, all in a 22 g aluminium alloy case with a matte finish.

Getting started:

- Android: install the SenXor ProViewer app, plug the camera in and the thermal view opens automatically.
- Windows: run Waveshare's SenXorEvkViewer software, select the serial port and click Connect.
- Raspberry Pi: install the provided pysenxor Python demo and run the USB streaming example.
 
### Features

- Captures large scenes at close range, thanks to the wide 90° horizontal field of view.
- Streams smooth, continuous thermal video at up to 25 FPS with no shutter interruptions.
- Picks out temperature differences as small as 125 mK (NETD), revealing subtle hot and cold spots.
- Measures surfaces from -40 °C to 400 °C, covering everything from freezer checks to hot soldering work.
- Plugs straight into USB-C devices with no external power, drawing only 20 mA at 5 V.
- Offers multiple colour palettes, snapshots and video recording in the Android app.
- Logs per-pixel temperature data to a text file in the Windows software for later analysis.
- Integrates into your own projects with Waveshare's Python demo for Raspberry Pi.
- Stands up to everyday handling in a compact, lightweight aluminium alloy case.
