Adding an FLIR camera to acquisition

[saglag]

I'd like to add an FLIR camera (specifically, a Blackfly S USB3) to the devices list but not certain how to go about this.
Here's the camera in device manager:

How do I modify the device file correctly to add this device?

Hi @saglag,
Unfortunately the Miniscope software only currently works with (USB Video Class) capable cameras. This generally means any plug and play USB camera will interface with our software but ones that require custom drivers or APIs won't. That being said, we do have it on our todo list to add FLIR support to our software but I don't have a timeline for when we plan on doing this yet.

It is also totally possible for you or someone else to incorporate FLIR support and we would be happy to give some guidance if interested.

Definitely interested on how to start incorporate it! Any advice is appreciated!

Hi, any chance that there was some progress on this issue since it was raised? Would be a great help to be able to use these camera's in the miniscope software natively!

reworking the miniscope software so that this will be much more straightforward, this software is to-be-deprecated <3
