$40 will buy you a useable low-resolution one at AdaFruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3538 <https://www.adafruit.com/product/3538> If that's still too much, an ordinary infrared thermometer is not really a "camera", but can be had quite cheaply from a number of vendors and does offer non-contact temperature measurement. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
