New Flir products

[Ben321]

Has anybody here yet tried the latest version of my program? Please reply if you have. I'd like to know how it's working out for you.


Has anybody here yet tried out the ActiveX DLL component that I created? Please reply if you have. I'd like to know how it's working for you in any program that you've used it in.

I would have tried it by now if Flir didn't delay the Android version. The shipping date has now slipped to mid-August!

As for the latest version it seems to work with both regular images and pano's that I create. Like the scaling and selection methods. If you need something very basic it fits the bill.

Has anyone fiddled with one of the new C2 cameras?  I have one and am wondering how to get video output into MATLAB.  They ship a camera viewer that will save .avi files, but if there's a more direct way it'd be nice.

Unfortunately the C2 doesn't output radiometric video afaik. This means you can't read temp data from the video stream.

There was another user here a while ago who got radiometric video working on the E4, which normally doesn't have it, however I'm not sure if that will help you.

Hopefully that's just for new orders :/

The FLIR website is showing the iOS version as preorder now too. My amazon order is still showing "Before August 15th"....

According to the FLIR rep it won't do radiometric data, but I'm just trying to trap the video output which would be "good enough" for what we're doing.

I haven't used matlab but it should just show up as a standard UVC webcam. Any standard webcam software should interact with it.

My 2nd gen Flir one was delivered today (ordered 6/27).

I had a quick play with it, and so far I am quite impressed.

It is not loading properly images that that have size not multiple of 4. It loads but the image is skewed. Would be good if that is fixed in the next version.

@Ben321

I wonder if you can add parsing of FLIR .seq (.fff) video files to decompose to individual frames.

EDIT: I have a sample but it is over 1Mb so can't supply as an attachment.

EDIT: per this post: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg377140/#msg377140 it should be as simple is splitting based on the following search pattern:
\x46\x46\x46\x00\x00\x00

That was a mod for Linux which I managed to compile with my zero knowledge of Linux. It writes raw data to a file, not to a streaming device. So I was able to create a file but do not know what to do with it, i.e. how to display the content. The author did not respond. So at the moment this is a dead horse to me.

This looks like it might do the job

Here's the relevant MATLAB connection docs if any other poor soul is trying this:

Have to hustle back to the lab and find out new things I don't know enough about.

   Thanks!

International Shipping!



Interestingly you can just turn off the tax...

I had a sales email from PASS UK today.

They are offering the new FLIR ONE Android for sale. I can't find confirmation of stock levels but we may be on the cusp of receiving our pre-ordered units 

http://www.tester.co.uk/flir-one-thermal-camera-android

The web site also suggests that the camera has a normal retail price of £199+VAT at 20%. They are currently offering the camera at the 'discounted' price of £168 +VAT. I wonder if the price will go up to £199+VAT after an initial release period?

I really hope these things are finally shipping.

My FLIR One Android order has had it's estimated shipping date change from Late July -> Early August -> August 19th now.

It seems like nobody (First gen FLIR One, Seek Thermal iOS) can ship their product on time.

[Fraser]

I tried to download the Android app from the Play store.....

It said my Motorola Moto G was not compatible 

Hope they sort that out as the Moto G isn't exactly exotic

Just had an email order update saying expected shipping of F1 Android week of Sep 7th   

[cynfab]

Aurora, I was able to download it with my Samsung S4 Mini, which is most likely NOT compatible. It wouldn't work with my Seek, and the S4 Mini is not on Flir's list of compatible devices. The Play Store says that of my many Android devices, only the S4 Mini was compatible....go figure.
The app installed ok and has some sample pix, also the Flir Tools app can view these pix and report their info.

Taken 5/16/2014
Image Size 120 x 160
Camera *(*)

lat/long puts it near Stockholm Sweden

Some info like Rel Humidity, Atmos. Temp, IR Window temp, Emissivity are editable/saveable.

Lots of stuff to explore.

I'll try to side load the app onto something else later today.

I also got an e-mail update saying the same as Milke ...."week of Sept 7"----> most likely to ship on Sept 11.

   ...ken...

Update:

I was able to sideload the Flir One app for Android onto my $US49 DigiLand DL701Q tablet which the Play Store said was NOT compatible.
It runs (of course I don't have a Flir One yet) as it did on my S4 Mini. Flir Tools Mobile runs as well and shows the same info for the sample images.

[Fraser]

I also received a 'week beginning' 7 September shipping message from FLIR.

Cynfab,

Thanks for the info. I would have expected FLIR to have opened up the app to all android phones and tablets that can support OTG. Seek had their app locked down to specific phones when first released, but soon opened it to all phones.

[TopLoser]

Luckily the iOS app is receiving regular updates and working very nicely

[Fraser]

@Toploser

That is good to hear. At least FLIR maintain software development after initial release. I have to wonder whether they have had some issues with the Android software so delayed shipping until it meets their high standards. On the compatibility chart there appeared to be an issue with video recording on some phones.

All good things are worth waiting for. In the mean time I have another Ex. Cadillac Deville 320x240 30fps Raytheon camera on its way to me from the USA. Looks like it will arrive before the FLIR ONE  Gen2.

Did they not learn anything from the 1st gen? Ugh.

Seams the best price is with rs-online.uk (or .es),
they offer 15% till August.21 for new customers,
maybe it is worth to register Grandma/Uncle to get this reduction ?

That offer excludes all Test & Measurement equipment. I almost went for it before I read that.
