| Flir Boson UART for an idiot |
| (1/1) |
| IO390:
Hi all, I am trying to send some commands to a Flir Boson sensor via UART. Everything is connected up and I'm sending commands with an Xmega mcu. The port is set up as per the Boson's datasheet - 921.6K baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. I'm new to digital. I am at the stage of being able to send bytes and the scope decodes them fine. This is Flir's IDD document for the Boson: https://www.flir.com/globalassets/imported-assets/document/boson_sdk_documentation_9hz-v11412-and-later.pdf Can anyone help me make sense of this? What actual data would I send? Can't figure it out. I have also downloaded the SDK which hasn't helped me so far. Thanks in advance. |

That document appears to be for a library API rather than serial comms. |

https://github.com/benelgiac/PyBoson3/blob/master/bosondocs/102-9013-00_FLIR_Binary_Protocol.pdf Someone has uploaded the protocol here. That should get me started. |

Yep, that's is what you need. |
