MI_XCAM_formalRelease

This is the user application project of using thermal sensor XCAM from Meridian Innovation Limited. There are two series MCU: M480 & N329-. XCAM is running with USB Video Device Class(UVC), that capbale of streaming video like webcams without installing any specific drivers.

Please read XCAM_Documentation.docx for more details.

SDK Version: Release V3.08 181205

Known Issues

• Could not open file with correct existing file path

.\MI_Thermal\MI_XCAM_N329_SW_I2C.axf: error: L6002U: Could not open file ........\ThermalAPI_inC\example\demo\KEIL\demo_Data\N32901_SingleTask\ThermalSensorAPI_N329.lib: No such file or directory

Soultion: Probably it is because the path is too long, which may cause problem. Relocate the file to somewhere with shorter path.

• (N329) Can I output Uart/Huart data without opening XCAM?

Solution: Move "TempCal()" to outside the usb connected checking statement "if (usbdStatus.appConnected == 1)".

• How can I remove temperature display?

Solution: Control the blackets and Temperature display On/Off inside if(GetTempDisplay() == 1) {...}

• How to read temperature output from UART?

First send UART command VCMD=DAT/AMT/TMP. The output is shown in Hex format. E.g: C9(HEX) = 201(DEC) = 20.1 degree / FFFFC9(HEX) = (FFFFFF - FFFFC9)54(DEC) = -5.4 degree Further details please refers to the documentation under UART/HUART Interface.

• Temperature value format

Row * Col * 2 bytes

• Temperature accuracy

The temperature is not fine tuned at prototyping stage. The accuracy is +-1 degree roughly.

• How to change color palette?

The color palette is controlled by macros under COLOR_ADAPTIVE. You can activate adaptive mode with "#define COLOR_ADAPTIVE" in MI_XCAM.h. You can define which color palette is using in ThermalSensor.h.

• What is the frequency(fps) the XCAM can run?

On N329- Single: 2-8 fps Dual: 3-6 fps
