lately, Mike (Mikeselectricstuff) has been working on a thermal imaging camera, and that got me inspired to blow the dust off my imager to see if i can get it to work. What i have is just the thermal imaging module itself, none of the control circuitry. I have sent 4 emails and 1 phone call to the manufacture with no luck, probably because im an end user and this imager is ITAR export controlled.
What would be a good starting point to try to reverse engineer the pinout? The imager i have is a DRS U6010, 640x480 25um VOx microbolometer FPA. It has 38 pins split into 2 rows and has NTSC output on one of the pins. I found some documentation for different microbolometer from a different company, but has the same number of pins, so i have a general idea of what mine might have, which is a ground for analog and digital, serial data and clock, 6 digital video outputs, and 4-5 input voltages. Any help is appreciated.
