content: Hi people,First time poster, long time lurker here.I was wondering if anyone could please help me or point me in the right direction regarding the FLIR lepton 3.5?I have a lepton housed in a Purethermal 2 USB board and I am able to get a live video stream in VLC easily on windows with no problem.However, the format displayed is RGB888 whilst I am trying to display just the raw video stream from the unit in VLC.My objective is to stream the live raw video feed on VLC like how the lepton desktop application can, but without the GUI limitations/bloat of the lepton app - if possible?*To clarify, I have very limited coding ability but using Jupyter and the SDK I am able to set the camera mode to output RAW using the command 'lep.vid.SetVideoOutputFormat(7)'.When changing the format from RGB888 to RAW using that command the stream just freezes.Thanks for your help

content: Hello,I've successfully hacked a Flir E4 camera (E4 1.2L with fw 2.3.0). However, when I try to revert the RNDIS mode using the FlirInstallNet and the "Remove_RNDIS_Permament.fif", I can't have access to the USB storage drive. I can see an USB logo on the display, but with my Win7 pc the device is recognized as a Network adapter, while in my collegue's PC with Win10 it is seen as a USB Com port.Should I do something else to put the device in USB mode? At the moment, the only way to see the images is using Filezilla to browse into the images folder.

content: I own Themal Expert Q1 Plus (F1.0 lens).In my opinion the biggest advantage of thermApp is better android app and the fact that it is supported by a few non-official android apps which make it even better.ThemalExpert Q1 has a great sensor but android app is garbage...

content: There was talk of the ThermApp model range being discontinued and only a ThermApp MD medical model being produced. This appears plausible as manufacturers of thermal imaging cameras are focussed on producing large quantities of fever detection cameras to take advantage of market demand for such at the moment. If it is the case, then either used or old stock may be the only way to obtain a ThermApp.Fraser

content: Hi,A couple of months ago I got the stupid idea to try out the Flir Tools+ trial to see what was different.Today I wanted to use Flir Tools again but got the message the trail has expired. Ok, no problem, so I uninstall it and install Flir Tools again. Unfortunately, that did not work. It always keep saying my trial has ended and I should buy a license (which is even not possible any longer).I already tried several uninstalls, cleaning up flir related registry keys after uninstall, using app modify instead of uninstall, installing an older version of flir tools... but so far nothing works.Any other ideas how to fix this? Luckily I only did this on one of my pc's, so I can this use flir tools on my laptop, but it is still annoying it is not working any longer on my desktop...

I actually hunted down used mobile phones that were powerful enough for my FLIR One Gen 2 dongles but that had faulty SIM sockets or other mobile network faults. I use the phones connected to Wi-Fi when any apps or updates are needed. Such phones are much cheaper than those that are fully working and if the only fault is the mobile network side of things.... it is no lossI bought an ‘as new’/new Motorola phone that has a faulty earpiece speaker..... it cost peanuts and is perfect as a dedicated host to a dongle thermal camera.Fraser

I dont get many calls lolI also recently bought a phone "for parts" that upon arrival did have a boot error but it got over it and still had service surprisingly.I factory reset it and super glued a lens I took out of a broken digital camera onto a dollhouse door hinge so now I can fold a lens over and get incredibly good closeups on solder joints or components. Not bad for 5$. Can also output video to hdmi and scan a board on a big screen.Some examples:I probably got lucky that the lens plastic body was molded at the perfect distance laying flush for the camera on phone to focus. But yeah was pretty pleased with it.Just look at honest abe on the penny.

The new lenses are calibrated from factory - so when you add them to a camera - the camera automatically adjusts all settings.So if anyone wants to "test them" I'll be happy to do so for forum members with good long history - located in the UK. You pay shipping or collect from Brighton - (and deliver back of course) - but if you break them you pay for replacement!Merry Christmas !/k

content: their marketing is bad (https://youtu.be/buY8DbAJvxc) and it uses a Lepton 2.5 along with some high resolution mobile cameras, but those aren't performing well. The S61 should perform equally and the S62 does perform better. I advice against any low refresh rate camera if you want a really thermal imager. depends on which seek you had, but this is equal to a FLIR One Pro LT and uses the same app.

content: On my flir E30 (upgraded to E60) I personally do not find it very useful. The wifi does not support modern encryption like AES, and to work reasonably reliable on my network I had to use a fixed IP address and open some ports on the firewall.This is off course an older camera (2012), so I am not sure this is still the case for a newly bought E4. But for a typical use case of plotting some temperature over time, I do not mind the USB cable, as I typically have the charging cable connected also. I just bough a long USB cable (5m) so I am not restricted by the location of the laptop in my workshop.

content: Hello, I recently purchased a for parts Scott Eagle Six it arrived yesterday afternoon and I’ve spent all night Troubleshooting since. I’ve found a ton of useful information thanks to this website for an earlier project, and I’m hoping now that I’ve got a new question of my own maybe y’all can help out.So I’ve gone ahead and bypassed everything but the core from the Scott Eagle, no point using the lcd or battery compartment if I can have a four-wire connection straight to the core I figure. The module faults the same way regardless of whether it’s connected to the rest of the camera so far it seems.The symptoms are: (EDIT: I believe the MOSFET just above the caps is shot, there is continuity across all 8 pins and no diode voltage drop from drain to source)- When powered up from variable power supply with current limit set to 1A, the current limit is hit at ~2V.- If I power it as above and check it with another thermal camera, I can see that there is a hotspot which appears to be made up of three large unmarked SMD capacitors. The rest of the board remains unchanged. No signs of life from the core.- If I connect ground to ground and then bypass the suspect caps by applying 7V at the positive end of the top capacitor it behaves the same.- If I bypass the capacitors and apply 7V to a capacitor marked C 22 (marked yellow in attachment), just after the suspected failed caps and maybe some other components, the shutter spins up and the core begins to draw ~2A for maybe one or two seconds than settles down to .5A. All seems well but still no video output (maybe I’ve applied power past the video circuitry?).So far that’s where I’m at. I’m not sure how to go about identifying the capacitors (C9,C10,C11), I’ll include some images of them at the bottom (red arrows in attachment).

Seek Reveal ghost image - Page 1

content: Kind of a funny topic for Halloween -- but recently I noticed something weird on the Seek Reveal. In my office there is a cold spot in the ceiling -- a small square area that is about 2 deg C colder than the surrounding area (probably some missing insulation). If I move off that spot I see a ghost of the square that stays in roughly the same spot on the display. This persists for many minutes (through multiple FFC events). Funny thing is, if I focus on something really cold like a cold beverage that is 20 deg C colder than ambient, I see no such ghosting effect. Anyone with more knowledge than I have about microbolometers know what is happening here? On the other hand, maybe I'm expecting too much of the little thermal camera? TIA.

content: To answer my own question -- maybe what's happening is when I'm focused on the cold spot on the ceiling, and there's only about 2 deg temperature span, the gain is set very high. Also, when I move off the spot the gain is still high. Even though there are FFC events, there must be some residual memory in the bolometer elements, which is what I see as the ghost. On the other hand when there's a 20 deg temperature span with the cold beverage, the gain is much lower, so the residual memory is a lot smaller factor. That's my guess anyway.

If you and nice enough they will give you a price list of the 30hz and wide temperature range as well. They do even offer a product that the i3 website doesn't offer with the TE-M1.I recently saw a claim that i3 microbolometers use a Titianium layer on top of the Vanadium Oxide subtrate for their sensor. I might out up a thread about that soon, if I find enough information and understand the chemistry.

content: Hello,Ive been out of the forum for a while. I was wondering if there are any good resolution thermal camera for android phones with USB-C connector?The seek Pro has the older style micro usb. That was a good little camera, but with phone being all updated to USB-C lately, I would like to find something besides the Therm-app that I use.And yes the FLIR One has usb-c but thats such a low resolution camera.Thanks.

content: I have asked about this previously but someone may now have such information.I own some FLUKE supplemental lenses that were originally supplied with an SD card that was inserted into the camera to, presumably, upload calibration offset data for the lens.Does anyone own such a lens and it’s associated SD card please ? My lenses came without the SD card and I would like to look at the data on the card as it may contain useful technical information on the lens such as transmission figure. I do not need the SD card, just a copy of the data held on it. SD cards from the Wide2 and/or Tele2 would be great.If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.Fraser

content: The ZnSe lens sits in front of the Seeks Standard lens (not instead of it!) and you set the manual focus near infinity. Move towards the target until the image is either in focus or close to focus. Adjust manual focus on Seek until good focus is achieved.Note that a 50.8mm Focus point lens will not provide perfect focus at 50.8mm when used as a supplementary lens but it will be close to that distance.Fraser

content: Sadly you have few options.The shutter is not supplied as a separate part by FLIR so you would need to strike lucky with the service tech at a service centre to obtain a salvaged part from a faulty Lepton. The Lepton is pretty reliable as a core so you do not see faulty ones for sale that you could rob the shutter from. Your easiest, though not cheap, option, is to buy one of the faulty FLIR One G2 units that appear on eBay and either transplant the whole lepton core (recommended) or just its shutter (easily damaged) You are looking at between £50 and £100 for a used faulty FLIR One G2, depending upon the market and condition.Sorry it is not better news. I have plenty of spares donor FLIR One G2 cameras containing the Lepton cores but all those cores are working so need their shutter.FraserUK

I do still have the shield and actual shutter so may have to just design something up on fusion360 and see if I can print out something good enough to hold the shutter on to replace the shutter outer plate. Still have no idea how and where it managed to separate off the outer plate.

author: Fraser
author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: September 21, 2020, 11:50:42 am
content: Nah, just a revamp of the original Ex line. The increased temperature range does not even need new hardware. It is just a software function adding a Range 2 to the camera. Range 2 will have reduced sensitivity though and this is often missed out of specificationsThe standard Ex upgrade may work on an XT camera but there is a risk of losing the extended temperature range and this should be considered carefully. If memory serves, an XT owner reported losing the +400C capability after upgrading his cameraThat could indicate some sort of model detection or firmware ‘branch’ that is affected by the file changes necessary for the upgrade created by Bud. Note that Bud has never recommended or approved the use of his upgrade files fir use on anything but a standard E4 late model camera running a specific firmware.Fraser

timestamp: September 15, 2020, 09:09:11 pm
content: It has been discussed and answered.The sensitivity of the Ex and a Exx series is modified by FLIR using artificial noise injection. The level of false noise is set in mK in the configuration. The E4 upgrade switches off the artificial noise generator. This was discussed in the massive E4 teardown thread so is easily missed.Why use an artificial noise generator ? It enabled FLIR to make one camera more sensitive than another using identical hardware. Control over resolution and sensitivity is a great marketing tool when creating a line-up of cameras using identical hardware, but at different price points, as you can imagine.Fraser

As such the core will likely be configured for fire fighting duties. This may mean that there is a temperature scale and spot measurement graphics visible on the screen. There may be a video take-off point within the core prior to the graphics overlay, but I have no information on that. Nice cores thoughFraser
