Title: Where to get cheap Flir Tau logic board/spare parts?
Post by: hap2001 on July 08, 2023, 02:15:30 pm

Hi.
I got several working Tau sensors, and almost one complete Tau without the logic board, is it possible to get it somewhere for cheap, or even other Taus with dead sensor?
Thanks.

The main issue will be the dead pixel maps, those are per-FPGA burned in at factory during acceptance testing.

Thank you.
But there is a section in Flir GUI that controls the bad pixel map, won't that help?

I think you may need to worry more about gain calibration.
I tried cross-mating sensors with TAU boards, some of them have strange lines/pixels, others ONLY show strange patterns without usable picture.
However you can calibrate by yourself.
