In this episode of DIY or Buy we will have a look at thermal imaging camera. At first I will show you why thermal imaging cameras can be very useful when it comes to working with electronics. Afterwards I will explain how such cameras work and what flaws they come with. At the end I will then build my own low budget DIY thermal imaging camera and compare it with the commercial one. Let’s get started!
