Perhaps someone has already asked that, but I can not find the answer.
Is it possible to upgrade the camera Flir E40 to 320x240?
If so, whether this is done the same way as the E4?
If you have a Exx without MSX (year 2012) you can activate the MSX menu but you only see a live real image on the LCD.
If you take a picture, then you save a normal MSX jpg on your SD card.
I think, the MSX code is embedded in the windows CE binaries but not in the fpga code.
I have reviewed the instruction of how to hack the e4 firmware 1.21, but I do not really understand 100% of how to begin the change. Can anyone put it in a youtube for more visual instruction. Thank you.

@muvideo,
Please see my post here:

It should be possible to make a simple telescope just like adding a telescope auxilliary lens to a normal optical camera. BUT the problem is in finding the correct lens elements with the required focal lengths. Do some Googling on "simple telescope" and you will discover what I mean. You will need a nice large (say 50mm diameter) biconvex or plano convex front lens with a long focal length of approx 200mm. This lens will then feed the image to a second smaller biconvex or plano convex lens with a shorter focal length (say 50mm).
This should produce a useable telescope lens but in truth it will likely be pretty poor in terms of performance unless you don't mind a very long lens ! The Inframetrics lens contains at least 4 lens elements and none look to be the type that you can buy off of the shelf easily or cheaply. Bear in mind that teh Inframetrics telescope used Germanium optics and cost several thousand Dollars. If there were a nice cheap way to achievw the same performance, I think we would have seen alternatives available over the years.
I saw that you hacked succesfull your E4 and have now a E40.
Some user had seriosly trouble with WLAN.
Better use RNDIS and FTP
My suggest:
(1) Download config file here:
Yes, people need to pay their dues, it took me hours to read all the posts. Would be nice
if somebody was to distill the important posts down to a minimum.
Did you guys found the E4 embedded website already? It's accessible from its IP address with USB in RNDIS mode.
Probably some have already seen this
yeah, it's been discussed before. The unlock password is 1235.
Now the bad news. When the Telescope is placed in front of the E4 it produces an image, BUT it is inverted. This did not make sense to me as they are auxilliary lenses designed to sit in front of the thermal cameras built in lens.
Oh, crickey! This thread is becoming hilarious, and/or a "bag of hurt!" All those "I'm new here" people with < 40 posts on the forum should be required to read the thread before being allowed to post!
Why do you don't write a nice tutorial for the Exx upgrade?
Mike links a good post on the first site.
I'll try to put something together, I'll share it with you before I put it out, can't do it right now,
but it is now on my list -
Jim
Use EzCRC from Taucher as keygen (it's foolproof )
Check visible resolution while deactivating MSX

As of now, is there any recommendation as to which specific eBay lens seeme to be of the highest quality and the best for the Flir E4?

I can't attest to highest quality but I followed Aurora's lead in purchasing a couple of eBay item #321078811086 and they work great, modulo my limited experience with IR in general. There are drop-downs to select the material, diameter, and focal length. I went with 20mm dia and 50, 100 focal lengths.
ZnSe is transparent at optical wavelengths, which is probably why the eBay picture looks like it has a mottled surface; you're seeing through to the foam behind it. The lenses arrived in individual paper packets, so no worries about them grinding against the foam during transit.

Which focal length do you find more useful?
