So as mentioned I couldn't get the Windows app to run on my main W10/64bit machine, and it didn't work on an XP VM I tried to install for the purpose either. Also I still don't have a cable to connect the Q1+ to my PC. I however remembered I had a couple of cheap Windows tablets in a drawer that have micro-USB-OTG ports that could be used to connect the camera as is, so I tried installing the app on those (W10, 32bit). And there it worked, AND I can connect the camera (although the wrong way around, i.e. in "selfie" mode)
Then following an idea from
here about a
program that allows for remotely connecting an USB device through a network, I decided to try to link it with my very appropriate
C.H.I.P minicomputer I received 2 days ago - it's also got an USB OTG port, integrated WiFi and can be battery powered, making for a great standalone wireless thermal provider
I initially was thinking about a Pi Model A as I've got 2 of them in a box, until I remembered why they were in a box - No battery, no OTG, no Wi-Fi. Yeah right... time for those things to be trashed I guess, not worth the hassle. The C.H.I.P is how things should be nowadays.
And everything works perfectly fine. Unlike what's been reported about the FLIR cam in that other thread there's no timing issue at all, one can see a certain delay when connecting the camera and kinda slower refresh rate, but functinally it does the job great
The bigger tablet is a Lenovo Miix3 8'' that is pretty decent with a good quality 1024x768 screen and 2GB RAM, the widescreen one is an ultracheap ($50?) Trekstor one that was bought maybe a year ago. It's really pretty crappy - yet it works, and it's impressive how cheap you can have a PC these days.
