Conceptualized in the minds of the Ecosystem Sensing Research Group at Imperial College London, Bugg is an intelligent, real-time eco acoustic monitoring device. It is one of the few real-time eco monitoring devices on the market, and is designed to receive power from an off-grid solar setup.

Deforestation is the clearing of forests for any number of reasons, agriculture, logging, urban expansions, and more. Reforestation is the process of planting trees where a forest once was. Afforestation, which is a lesser known process, is the act of building a forest where previously one didn’t exist.

Drones are on the rise, pun intended. From surveying landscapes to delivering packages, we are seeing them integrated into more roles in our daily lives. With these small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) comes questions of privacy, and viability, but we aren’t here to talk about that. We want to explore the ways thermal imaging can be integrated into a drone, and the innovative ways it is being used in the world.

The Moth Family (totally not a mafia name) includes the AudioMoth, the HydroMoth, the MicroMoth (µMoth), and the AudioMoth USB Microphone. First created by Open Acoustic Devices, these little acoustic loggers have been deployed in caves to listen to bats, left in coral reefs to monitor population density, and rainforests to track human activities (like logging or poaching).

Coral reefs are beautiful, interesting, and incredibly important ecosystems. They occupy less than 1% of the ocean, yet are home to roughly 25% of the world’s marine life - over 4,000 species of fish.

The Teledyne FLIR Lepton camera  module is a powerful thermal imager no matter what level you pick, from the FS to the 3.5, or the new 3.1R. To make sure you’re taking advantage of all it has to offer, we wanted to go over our available Lepton boards, so you can pick the best one for your project. 

I think 2023 will go down in history as one of the fastest years on record. It was January, I was still struggling to turn my 2’s into 3’s whenever I wrote the date, I blinked, and here we are readying for the holidays. Again.

The term “Artificial intelligence” (AI) gets thrown around a lot in the tech space. It’s one of those buzzwords everyone has heard, but few really understand.

Uncover the features, performance, and unique capabilities of different FLIR Boson camera models to help you make an informed decision for your imaging needs. From cutting-edge features to performance metrics, dive into the realm of thermal imaging and discover the perfect Boson camera for your needs.

Unlock a new dimension of precision with the PureThermal 3 – the ideal solution for a myriad of projects. The PureThermal 3 FLIR Lepton Smart I/O Module is a hackable thermal webcam module for the Teledyne FLIR Lepton Longwave Infrared (LWIR) camera core. 

How technology is revolutionizing wildlife conservation. Uncover the transformative impact of data analytics, satellite tracking, and more, as we delve into the pivotal role technology plays in safeguarding Earth's most precious species and ecosystems.

Discover the impact of the chip shortage on the electronics maker movement. Uncover the implications for innovation, project complexity, and costs in the world of electronics tinkering.

Discover the top 6 challenges faced by makers during the product development process. The article explores the common hurdles and provides practical insights to help makers overcome these obstacles.

Checking for heat leaking out of your house? How about people counting in a business for occupancy? These are perfect uses for the FLIR Lepton FS – when you need thermal imaging but don’t need radiometry data.

You’ve probably heard of the AudioMoth, created by Open Acoustics, but were you aware they made a second device, called the HydroMoth? Sometimes the HydroMoth experiences Second Child Syndrome, so we are here to give it some love and attention. 

Here at GroupGets, we believe that it’s never too early to inspire, and sow the seeds of ingenuity – which is why we are exceptionally excited to partner with CircuitMess for these two products. Support creativity with these STEM kits! They are a fantastic way to encourage learning while playing and are a launching platform for new opportunities.
