Hey Giles I tried downloading your zip file but this OS image is not working at all on my raspberry pi 3. It even partitions the sd card and makes the card un-usable. Any recommendations? Also where did you get the code to get the mplayer-thermal.sch file?

Also I looked at Giles files and he has a thermal.sh and a mplayer-thermal.sch

Going to start over again from the beginning and see if it works when I try it again. Maybe I did something wrong towards the beginning

So I installed everything and when I got to the end where I am supposed to execute in terminal the screen blinks once I click and that is all that happens.

I originally wrote the instructions for a friend of mine but thought I’d share here in case it was useful. I did this a while ago and don’t have any thermal imaging kit here to test it but I’ll see if I can help.
However, I need a bit more information. When you say it does nothing, can you describe more precisely what happens? Something must happen even if it’s just the cursor moving to the next line.

Look forward to hearing from you. Mike

College student here trying to utilize the thermapp with the raspberry pi 3. I made it all the way to the end but when I try to execute the thermal.sh it does nothing.

Hi Kris,

Sorry to hear you’re having problems. I only put this together as a favour for a colleague and I’m not into thermal imaging so this is not being maintained. However, I suspect this is due to the wrong version of the C compiler. The Old Raspbian Jessie used GCC 4.9 whereas Stretch has upgraded to GCC 5. The following link has some ideas on how to revert to an earlier compiler.

Downgrade GCC

Good luck!

Further to discussions, I have uploaded the 2.2GB zipped file to

This contains a copy of the OS image you provided, as per above, plus a short readme text file that identifies some of the earlier contributors to the work.
