Hello
I have had my Flir One for a while now, and have wondered why it did not have a larger temp range and more pallets.
I think Flir did not enable these because it did not want the Flir One to be too close in specs to the E4.
When the Flir One was announced i only had, and still only have an Iphone 5C. I ordered the Flir One and modified a 5C hard plastic case to fit the Flir One. I suspect the Flir One will also work with an Ipod touch 5th gen since it is the same size as an iphone 5 or 5S.

I am still unclear how you were able to make the changes you did. Do you have to have a Jailbroken Iphone ? Do you need a Mac computer to do this. I only have a windows PC. I would like to understand this process more so i can try the changes.

Thanks @devilmastah
I was afraid that was the case. My phone is half mine and half the company i work for, so i probably won't be jailbreaking it any time soon. Nice to know that such changes to apps can be made though.
here is my suggestion suggetstion, first All of your IPA files you have download with itune can be found with this following route: C:\Users\Administrator\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications, find flir one 1.1.2, open but don't extract?find the palettes.plist and emissivity.plist, (FLIR ONE-1.1.3\Payload\Rosebud.app\CameraFiles\bin here you can find all currently available palettes), use plisteditor follow its formation to unlock palettes and add any emissivities you want.when you are done, compress these two modified files back to flir one IPA.the last step , uninstall the flir one from your iphone,and reinstall from the pc.finally, I think the work should be done.

I had a little time today to try your instructions.
I used itunes to download Flir One 1.1.3
Using windows explorer, i navigated to the Flir One 1.1.3.ipa file which was right where you said it would be.
However i was unable to "open" it to get to the .plist files. What do i open it with?
I have "Plist editor 2.0" installed, but it doesn't see the Flir One 1.1.3.ipa file at all
Your instructions seemed straight forward but i must be missing something.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on my laptop
thanks for any help you can provide.

you can see this effect on the pins of the LQFP64 (pin-distance: 0.5mm)
single image (see left side of chip - pins are different blurred)
stacked image (all pins are sharp)
inside the Flir One app I found the interesting file SuperResDenoise.plistCode: [Select]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

use winRAR,find the flir one ipa flie,double click,then you have enter into it.

So it seems im still not doing something right. I installed Winrar, opened the .ipa file, found the palettes.plist file, edited it (correctly i think) with Plisteditor, "Added" it back into the .ipa file. Then i deleted flir one from the phone, synced with itunes to install it again. That seemed to go ok , it loaded to the iphone, except on the iphone it never got out of "installing" and the icon was darkened.
i saw that as well, i dont quite get what the paramters are doing,
Some seem quite obvious, like motiontreshold and smoothing.
But whats the huge array and the top array for
I wouldn't be surprised if that was a fairly normal running temp, and this heat over time has cause other parts to fail, or caused bad solder joints in the surrounding area.

I could see it warming up while actually opening the door (why else use a 2 watt resistor) but 200 degrees just sitting there idle? While idle, the whole device just has to sit there waiting for a signal from an external radio receiver. BTW, that looks like a MOSFET or a regulator next to it. It was impossible to read the markings in that light. The resistor was situated near the pins, couldn't tell what either of them were connected to, but they were only a couple millimeters apart. The only other thing in there that's even warm was the transformer near the top of the pic.
I know it's hard to tell from the visible light picture (very bad light, had to pull out what detail you see with a curve adjustment in PS) but there's no heat sink on it or anything else in the device.
When I told him, the repair guy seemed to think that temp was not right also, but I'd bet he's never actually seen a good one in IR, so I suspect he may have no idea what it was supposed to be.
You've seen the inside of way more electronics than I have (or will). Is that common practice to just have one really toasty resistor in something doing nothing?
UPDATE: Board swapped (of course) it all works now.
