Is it possible to link thermal optical sensors to VOXL2? Does VOXL2 support it at all? 
Thank you all.

@H-AL first you need to determine if the sensor's electrical interface is compatible. What interface exists on the sensor? Can you find an appropriate electrical [connection on VOXL 2](https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/)?

Then, you need to find if there is software compatibility, does the driver current exist in ModalAI's reference code? Or, is there an implementation you can leverage for your work?

What thermal camera do you recommend using?
