@Alex-Kushleyev this is awesome thank you. We're using the FLIR 640R+ sensor that just came out not terribly long ago which has the 20mK sensitivity. I will try those methods and get back to you on what works! This would be super cool to get directly into the camera-server as a stream. We are using it for helping guide animal localization on our aerial survey system.

Thanks,
Joseph

@Vinny no worries and thanks!!

@Alex-Kushleyev Hi Alex, thanks for the awesome thorough response!

Ok we've got recordings going again. We're doing it through the camera-server. A couple follow up questions:

1. How do we calculate the thermal radiometric readings utilizing your method? For FLIR they had equations for high and low gain but this seems different.
2. How do we start two "voxl-streamer" and the "voxl-camera-server" on startup?

Thanks!
Joseph

Hi @Vinny this is a part of our Hadron interface project. We're utilizing the commands straight from FLIR but it appears to not be working with VOXL2. We've got the camera servers up and running via VOXL2 commands. However there seems to be a slight variation in the commands and some nuance that we're missing.

Thank you!

@Vinny hey man y'all have incredible support and responsiveness and honestly I'll take your docs over most anything I've dealt with on other projects. I'm an electrical / optical engineer myself so I feel that haha. I appreciate it and will follow up when ready!

Hi @Vinny

My apologies on the miscomms - I meant the connection the VOXL2 mating element. I've seen that pinout and thanks for resharing - but I wanted to also double check on the impedance matching and whatnot. Our IPEX cable has an impedance of 100ohms - is this consistent with your design? Do you do cross wiring / ESD protection? I'm not seeing these in the docs. Effectively are there any other design aspects we should be aware of making that board connection? We have all of the Hadron stuff we need for their pinouts and whatnot.

Hi @Vinny ,

Thanks for the swift reply! When it comes to that then - would you be able to provide me the electrical schematic for the b2b interface and the impedance matching? I know there are a lot of passives there to interact with for the signal. Part of this is we were originally going to be using the Mistral Eagle kit but they have some design flaws that short out the whole board. So we've already got most of the design completed, just in the last phase here for the final connection aspect. Similar backpack isn't a problem for us as well - we've just got a specific payload design that requires it in a certain size / shape.

Thank you,
Joseph

Hello, we're designing our own interposer board / configuration for the FLIR Hadron 640R+ that will go all the way through the coax cable. We're looking to interface our coax with your M0181 board that will interface with your VOXL2 board.

I am looking for the pinout of that board specifically along with any technical information about aspects of the boards such as impedance matching connection type, etc to interface our interposer board with your M0181 board. If you would be willing to send information about the coax cable you use, a part number, pinout etc that would be awesome as well.

Thank you for your time,
