### Thermal decoder

https://telavivmakers.org/tamiwiki/projects/thermalcam


### Starting the stream

#### Enable jumbo frames

```
sudo ip link set eth0 mtu 9000
```

#### Send start packet
You need to send a special packet.

Sending it via sudo because of raw sockets:
```bash
sudo ./venv/bin/python ./replay.py
```

To send it you need the capability to open sockets in raw mode, but that does not work well with scripts (see [1]

[1] setcap for executables, not helpful for python scripts:
```
setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip ./replay.py
```

### Rust lib usage

# if you don't already have a virtualenv. Linux specific, adjust to your OS.
```bash
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
(cd thermaldecoder; maturin develop -r)
python test_rust.py
```
