content: The first Flir Lepton to be released was used in the old phone-case style iPhone Flir One. And even this was designated Lepton 2. What was the Lepton 1? Was that a prototype (of which only one unit existed)? Or was this the original planned specs for it (maybe something REALLY small like 40x30 resolution), but they nixed idea that in favor of giving us an 80x60 resolution camera for the first released (but because the other was the original design it still got the official designation of Lepton 1)? Can somebody here who maybe works at FLIR, and knows about the history of the development of the Lepton, step forward, and let me know just what the Lepton 1 was?

content: I have a Lepton that was referred to just as such, with the same source I bought it from later selling Lepton 2... But I can't see a definite difference in the specs.Maybe they decided to call it 2.0 at some point when they started offering the different lens and shutter options? Although mine has the shutter already, but was probably one of the early ones to have it...

content: These batteries go into a separate FLIR charger, so no guarantee whether the camera contacts for the truck mounting storage / charger are 'power in' with a charge control circuit in the camera or are simply 'charging in' from an off-camera charger.Given that this is a parallel wired pair of Lithium Cobalt cells, excessive experimentation may not be wiseBill
Temperature accuracy with auxiliary close-up lens - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: JohnG
author_rank: Frequent Contributor
timestamp: April 14, 2017, 05:01:04 pm
content: Folks,I have a question about the use of auxiliary lenses for close-up temperature measurements. The application is the measurement of die temperatures of GaN power FETs, and the smallest transistors of interest are about 0.9 mm x 0.9 mm. In the ideal case, I'd want at least 9 pixels on the FET.If I use an auxiliary lens to get close-up measurement capability, how might this affect the accuracy of the temperature measurement, i.e. how much might the absolute temperature accuracy be degraded?Thanks,John

content: The simple answer is quite a bit. However you can easily 'recalibrate' the camera and generate a lookup table from 'camera reading' back to 'real reading'.Ambient will still be ambient.You will have changed the 'gain' and cameras are linear in thermal radiance difference - not temperature difference. At a guess you are looking at over 100°C so this begins to matter. A bit of maths (there's a couple of spreadsheets somewhere on the forum already) will sort this out.So a few measurements of known hot temperature 'black' bodies through your new close-up optics set will give you the scaling. You may get some centre to edge shading, so stick to calibrating the centre.regardsBill

FLIR ONE G2 USB connector reversal adapter and extender - Nice support form FLIR - Page 1

timestamp: March 20, 2017, 08:36:54 pm
content: For those unaware, FLIR produced some official USB adapters for the FLIR ONE G2 Android. These were used to connect to phones that had the USB connector in an orientation that positioned the camera in the wrong direction, or where the USB connection needed to be extended out of a protection case on the phone. FLIR chose to offer these free of Charge ! Not too shabby my thinks. I have not found another adapter that is so compact from other sources.I recently had need to reverse the direction of my F1G2 on a new host phone. I visited the FLIR F1G2 support page to see about buying the adapters. The Q & A section stated that FLIR are still offering the adapters upon application. They were free of chargehttp://www.flir.com/flirone/display/?id=62916I submitted a request for the adapter to reverse the orientation. I was half expecting to hear that it was no longer available but I was very pleasantly surprised.Today I receive a FedEx parcel containing both the USB orientation reversal adapter and the extender that I had not even asked for. It had been shipped to me in the UK from the USA. That must have cost FLIR a pretty penny and they provided the adapters free of charge or postage fee. I know some forum members have an issue with FLIR but this is an example of where they have placed a high priority on customer support and satisfaction. They get top marks from meSo if you need these adapters, now, or for future use, claim them now before they are discontinued.Fraser

I was suspicious that there were screws under the label around the lens but was not certain.I saw an auction for a butchered i7 that supported my thoughts about the front label as it had been trashed, presumably during a a less than careful disassembly. I attach the auction pictures. Scary case damage ! It was ex construction company that had several i7 cameras. It was probably used for parts to repair others, or just a poorly executed repair attempt after its screen was broken.I am going to warm the front label with a hair dryer and hope it may be lifted without damage. Much depends upon the adhesive tape FLIR have used.

This requires good coverage and a SIM card consuming data on an auxiliary smartphone.I wonder if there is any way to make the output of these cameras analog and transmit them through FVP, or some other method that allows to use these cameras to see in real time the thermal images from the UAV.Thanks

Do not forget that most of the picture processing is in the phone, not in the camera.It should be possible to send the uncorrected sensor data to a phone at the receive end - somehow - which means the phone does not have to fly.Now as for streaming the thermal video over 3G, sounds feasible as you are replacing the visual camera feed with the thermal one.That is 'only' softwareBill

content: Quote from: Motero on March 05, 2017, 05:22:32 pmI see. Like Bill W, I think the easiest way to do this would be to use a small SBC like the Raspberry Pi Zero W in conjunction with the various protocol reverse engineering we have available on this forum to perform the task. The DJI Lightbridge series, for example, can accept HDMI input on the transmitter. You could use an Android SBC with the native Therm-App application to transmit the application video directly.

Etekcity Lasergrip 630 vs 1022 vs 1080 vs 774 and other Etekcity models - Page 1

content: Maybe not quite thermal "imaging" but does anyone have any experience or insight you can share regarding these models or other Etekcity models? The 630 looks pretty good but not sure if some of the other models might be better. I tried the 774 and it seemed pretty good but maybe the models with adjustable emissivity are better? My preliminary conclusion is that the 774 is a very good value for a relatively inexpensive IR thermometer and that for not a whole lot more the 630's adjustable emissivity and dual lasers probably make it the next choice in the Etekcity line.

timestamp: February 24, 2017, 03:33:03 pm
content: I see that this post is old... but maybe you still need an answer. I have both the 630 and the 774. The 774 is almost half the size of the 630.Temp accuracy is extremely close on both. The big decision is do you need the additional features of the 630. The price difference was negligible. The 630 has dual lasers that are supposed to help with precise placement. I have not found them to be a huge advantage.I rarely use the emissive states for particular materials, but that is a consideration if you need to make sure the temp is as it reads for a given heat source. There are many resources on the web. Search IR thermometers shortcomings and you will get both the good and the bad.Also, in case you or other may not know, IR thermometers do not read things like soldering irons well, you need a contact probe to get accurate reading.Cheers!

author: Fraser

timestamp: February 11, 2017, 04:10:51 pm
content: I have looked into this previously.Sadly a USB wireless bridge is not common. The problem is that the end that connects to the accessory has to act in host mode and communicate over a wireless link at high speeds. With serial bridges it was easy as data rates were low and there was no need of a USB host.I did see a USB bridge for sale once but it received poor reviews for link stability and it was expensive.One way to create such a link may be to use a small computer such as an R-Pi as an intelligent host that in turn connects through to its wireless link and so to the computer or phone running the application.There may also be the possibility of using one phone as the host and linking to another via the Wi-Fi connectivity. The application expects to see the camera connected to the OTG USB port though so a custom app may be required.The perfect USB bridge would be transparent to the peripheral and host with a USB2 data rate. Sadly I know of no reasonably priced or reliable solution at the moment.Fraser

timestamp: February 09, 2017, 11:35:58 am
content: Both are very good thermal modules.It makes no sense to buy TE-Q1 Pro because basic TE-Q1 can measure 150*C with no problem...So comparison should be: Therm-App (19mm f/1.1) vs TE-Q1 Plus (13mm f/1.0)With Therm-App you will get narrower field of view which is better for outdoors while TE-Q1 Plus has wider lens which are better for close range inspection...Price is a factor too. Therm-App is 1000$ while TE-Q1 Plus is 600$ (if you can get it directly from manufacturer i3system).

I tested this in BFIC.exe and I am not seeing the MSX issue or the darkening, but I still see a big loss of detail in the thermal data. Do I need to issue a different set of commands? Or, do I need to downgrade ImageMagick?

You get some crazy high viscosity oils used as motor drive damping, they were common on old Micropolis hard drives as stepper actuator damping in a mass damper on the shaft end. No effect in slow, but rapid stepping was damped down quite effectively and it reduced resonances in the drive head assembly quite well.

Why does my Flir i5 charging so slow? (Solved) - Page 1

content: Hello.I got my Flir i5 as mint from ebay, the camera itself is pretty new, even with the factory screen protector on, but it only come with a multi-volt 3rd-party charger, and it don't even have the 5v option on the switch... So I cut off the power connector with the cord, and throw the charger away, then I wired the cord to a USB cord, thus made a USB charging cable myself.However I found it charges really slow, a full charge takes about 6 hours, today I just left it on my PC's USB 3.0 for 3 hours, and it charges only half. So is this normal? How long does your Flir ix charging?Thanks.

content: without USB enumeration you will get 500mA max. from your PC. That is why it takes so long: the battery has a capacity of 2800 mAh. Divide this by 500mA charging current and you will get your 6 hours.

timestamp: February 01, 2017, 12:52:21 am
content: Actually pre-enumeration means 100mA maximum - not that most PCs or laptops would actually limit current to that level anyway...The charging limit is likely 500mA anyway since that's a safe amount to draw from a USB 1.0/2.0 etc jack. That limit will be self imposed by the charger within the Flir to be compatible with most USB charging sources. These are instruments that are assumed to not cause usability issues if they take many hours to charge unlike a cell phone that most users get upset if they take more than 1 hour to charge.cheers,george.

Then disconnect the phone, reboot your PC and reconnect the phone after the boot is finished. The device will be installed again.If this doesn't help there might be a limitation for copying unknown (MSX) file types. May be you can change this (behavior) in the device drivers advanced settiing - if this option exists at all.

content: As no-one else has replied, I'll give you one cheap idea if you fancy a project rather than a finished solution.You can get a decent core from a fire camera (eBay etc) and then build your own camera with the interesting bits.Here is my latest work in progress, with a 160x120 Raytheon ASi out of a Marconi/e2v Argus 3The box lid contains a 4" video in LCD also from the camera, and there's batteries to go in too. I have loosened off the lens grub screw so it can now be focussed.Imaging 1mm objects is asking a bit much of a 160, but a 320 or 384 should be adequate. Otherwise to focus short you would need to add another lens on front of a camera set at normal viewing as described elsewhere on this forum.Bill

FLIR AX8 cables and passive PoE - Page 1

content: I'm looking for a source of X-coded M12 connectors (Industrial Ethernet connector, to suit a FLIR AX8), and I'm hoping for something relatively cheap - they seem to cost a fortune!Alternatively, pre-made ethernet cables would be good rather than the connector alone, if they are available relatively cheap.I don't care about shielding or Cat. 6, Cat5 would be perfectly fine for a 100M ethernet link, in an environment without tough EMI demands.Either M12 UTP Cat5/5e cables pre-terminated with the 8p8c/RJ45 would be good, or a flying lead end.I'm also interested in the A-coded power cable - either the M12 connector itself or a pre-made cable assembly. (Only two wires needed for power, no control signals need to be connected in the cable, with flying wires at the end of the cable assembly.)Any suggestions as to what is available, and where?I'm also interested in low-cost passive PoE injection for the AX8, if this is possible.The official spec, in the manual, is IEEE 802.3af class 0 PoE. That is, with an "active" PSE powered port and 802.3 negotiation.Is it possible to use say 12 volts, with passive injection on the spare pairs, in a 100Mb ethernet link?I really don't want to take a chance with blowing up the camera.
