Using cam without display?

[dreiduke]

Waiting since a monat for the LCD,
Is it possible to use the cam without display?
When its connected to the computer, thermocam live viewer recognizes the cam.
But says, put it in the live mode.

I tried to push the button on the cam, short and long, no change.
Cannot press any button within live viewer.

Hello @dreiduke,

yes this is possible. There is the checkNoDisplay function inside the diagnostics that runs after the device boots. If it detects that there is no LCD controller and no Touch controller attached, it will automatically switch into USB Serial Mode:

diy-thermocam/firmware/3.0/src/hardware/connection.cpp

Line 53 in 679eee9

bool checkNoDisplay()

If you have VS Code installed on your PC, you can add some print statements to the function to see if it is executed: https://github.com/maxritter/diy-thermocam/tree/master/firmware

When the Device is in USB Serial Mode, it should be detected by the Thermal Live Viewer (https://github.com/maxritter/diy-thermocam/blob/master/software/thermal_live_viewer/README.MD)

Let me know if this helps!

Danke dir, Und schöne restliche Weihnachten, und nen guten rutsch. Werd das breakoutboard erstmal an nem Raspi probieren. Denn der thermal live viewer, lässt mich nix drücken, solang die cam nicht in den serial mide geht, (ich mein den com10 belegt die Cam) Eventuelle print commands werd ich erst später probieren können, habe Dienst, über die Feiertage. In diesem Sinne, und danke für die rückmeldung, die schnelle Lg dreiduke alias Falko Wagner Austria Gesendet von Outlook für Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
