Hello @Tanner-Metzmeier,

We do not have a heat sink recommendation for VOXL2, however you can try off-the-shelf components, just be careful not apply excessive mechanical stress to the QRV5165 SIP while mounting the heat spreader to it (or removing it later).

Is there anything in particular that is causing VOXL2 to overheat (what type of processing)? We could try to help reduce the system load, if you provide more details on what you are actually running.

Hi @joseph-vale , i tested the python script from FLIR help site (Radiometry.py). I just had to modify it to use the correct USB and Video devices. The script ran find, but since my Boson does not support radiometric output, the reported temperature was like 70 degrees colder than it should be (reporting -50C at room temperature). Are you able to get correct temperatures with your device using this script?

As i mentioned before, there is a way of getting the image data from voxl-camera-server into python. I think it would be interesting to try running the same exact conversion and annotation code from the FLIR example. This would allow you to first check the temperatures using a USB connection and then check them using the VOXL2 pipeline.

I am going to set up an example that that uses pympa (python wrapper for MPA) to get the 16bit data from Boson and plot + convert it to temperature using the reference code.
