FLIR ONE #61

Closed Zackory closed 2 years ago

Would it be possible for this library to work with a low-cost FLIR ONE sensor?

Hi Zackory,

FLIR do provide an SDK for the FLIR ONE, for mobile applications: https://www.flir.com/developer/mobile-sdk/.

However I don't know if it's even possible to get data off a FLIR ONE via a desktop/embedded computer, which is primarily the use-case for flirpy (I also don't own one for testing ;) ). The sensor inside is presumably a Lepton with an additional RGB camera so you could go down the DIY route - the cost isn't much different from the ONE ($300 or so) and you can use the PureThermal carrier board for USB interfacing. Adding SPI support for the Lepton is a longstanding TODO, but there are other libraries which can control the sensor directly.

Best,

Thank you for the pointers and insight, Josh!
