From the project

thermal monocular documentation

A fully functional DIY thermal imaging monocular built around a 256×192 thermal camera, an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, and a 0.39" OLED display — all packed into a 3D-printed body with an 18× eyepiece. It mounts on any standard Picatinny/RIS rail and costs a fraction of commercial thermal optics.

Commercial thermal monoculars run €1,000–€5,000+. This build costs ~€400.
