“Over the past few years, I’ve done a few serious and many not so serious energy research projects. Thermal imaging is quite a powerful tool for doing serious energy research and I always wanted to try out to do this myself with a cheap IR thermometer. Recently, I got one such thermometer as a gift and I started to tinker immediately. I did not want to hack/destroy the brand new thermometer, as I still plan to use it in its original form later. For that reason, I decided to temporarily attach an old webcam to its back. This way, my laptop can read the temperature via the thermometer’s LCD display.”
