Hot Spotter @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
from Physicsman via hackster.io
The ‘Hot Spotter’ is an autonomous drone capable of discovering smoldering fires and reporting their location. The drone achieves this by creating a heat map which it generates in realtime by combining the data from a thermal sensor (MLX90614ESF-BCC), distance sensor (LIDAR-Lite V3), position sensor (GPS), and the orientation of the drone (attitude telemetry via MAVLink).
