Flir One Windows drivers?
« on: June 09, 2017, 03:08:05 pm »
Hi All

Could you please recommend drivers for Flir One for MS Windows 7 or 10? I have got "micro female" - "male" USB adapter, but my Win 7 PC does not like it much.

Thanks

The FLIR ONE series (Gen 1 to 3) are not intended to interface to a Windows PC so FLIR has not released any Windows drivers.

Various members of this forum have also wanted FLIR One G2 operation with a Windows PC platform. A search of this Thermal imaging sub forum will provide you with their progress on the matter. IIRC one clever chap has produced some some software that runs under WinXP but not later Windows releases.

That is the only functional Windows software for the FLIR ONE G2 Android that I know of. WinXP only remember.

Thanks! I had somewhere an old PC running XP, it looks like it is just about to wake up from hibernation  ;)

Cheers,

I wish more people would work on this project, and make some Win7 and Win10 drivers.

Ben321,

Could you not treat this as a challenge and learning experience for yourself ?

I have often had to teach myself how to do something in order to achieve an objective. It can be very rewarding and faster than waiting for someone else to do such work. Others will have different needs and requirements as well, so it is sometimes better to design your own bespoke solutions.

Such a project would also serve the needs of others and would be an opportunity to 'give back' to the community.

I don't even know how to make Windows drivers, and the scary thing about drivers is that if you make them wrong, they can screw up the hardware that you are trying to access with those drivers. Also, installing drivers in more modern Windows requires they be signed by Microsoft (an expensive process), and disabling the required signing in Windows is not an easy thing to accomplish. So many hurdles (at least for a person like me who's never even written a driver before).
