Some interesting shots of the boards.

Some interesting shots of the boards. Pt 2

Very cool to see the Linear Stirling Microcooler located towards the top of the camera.

Looks like it was manufactured in 1997 by Hughes

Still a long shot but FLIR ResearchIR 4 has a selectable pixel type for the Amber Radiance 1!! (It even has selection for Amber 4128 which was their LN2 Dewar unit, as well as Phoenix cameras)

In Theory that means If I convert the 12-bit RS-422 Amber HVSB port to CameraLink, Then Camera Link to GigE it may be possible to connect to ResearchIR 4?
Would be a huge breakthrough if that is remotely possible haha.

Still no dice on communicating with the Galileo. There is no response when sending this command. It could be a software thing where other programs used a different hex command.
On the radiance 1 byte 3 is 01 instead of 0a. So that might play a role.

Had any more luck with the Galileo?   

[MrSheep]

No unfortunately. Been pretty busy with other work/projects haha. I will prob get back to it after the holidays

[IR_Geek]

Roger that.  I've got some time off and playing around the internet archives.  I'll see what more can be dug up.    Maybe there are some cards that handle the HotLink.   Never used it but sure seemed a lot easier on the cabling.  Of course it probably wouldn't play nice with any of the FLIR capture software.

Yeah I was looking into hotlink because it only required 2 wires rather than 20 or so pairs of RS422. But yeah it prob wouldn't play nice since FLIR usually looks for Pleora or cameralink
