Just noticed that the awesome Grid-EYE sensors from Panasonic are now in stock!

Finally cheap thermal vision : )

Anyone planning to try them out?

That's pretty cool!

We could have used one of those back in the days before RPF fixed the Pi's 1.8V board fault and the LAN9512 chips had the secondary use of frying your breakfast.

Re the LiPo battery charging, that's one of the really nice features of several Olimex boards. I use their Olimexino-STM32 with a 2000mAh LiPo battery, a perfect fit because board and battery are almost identical in size.

I know the BBB has some battery charging potential via unpopulated pads, but I haven't delved into it yet. It wouldn't be particularly useful though, as the board is not as power-frugal as a Cortex-M3.
