Yes, I have seen several similar threads. I was hoping for a link to an actual Windows app. I do not have Linux installed.
Right now, I am torn between buying a FLIR One and harvesting its microbolimeter, buying a breakout board w/ microbolimeter, getting a Seek, or waiting for the new generation of non-microbolimeter based optical detectors (e.g. those based on a change of RI with LWIR).
I really just want to play with using an MCU to get close-up images of my PCB's and other stuff and may go for the time being with a simple stand-alone camera and ZnSe lens.
I am anxious for any suggestions. It's a hobby, so price is important.
