Impossible to reach the desired temp #24

Open peterbonnesoeur opened 4 years ago

peterbonnesoeur commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

I tested my Lepton Flir 3.5mm with the soft get Thermal and I cannot reach the dynamic range that was advertised by the manufacturer. Indeed, this camera should be able to detect temperatures up to 400°C but the limit of the visualisation with this software in both high and low gain is of 181.35°C. I just want to now if this issue is due to the software or to the camera that cannot transmit a higher level of intensity via the board.

Have a nice day, Maxime B.

Looks like the low gain command isnt working.

181 C is the max for high gain. It sounds like it's most likely the software. I dont have a fix for you unfortunately. Kurt will have to help with that.

I suggest trying the windows flir lepton software for testing. You can also try this repo instead https://github.com/Kheirlb/purethermal1-uvc-capture which should also let you change from high to low. If it works, this will confirm if it's a software issue at least.
