Hey all. So...I've been puzzling through the documentation for the FLIR Lepton and Lepton 3 cameras. Although I've made some traction with the "common" Lepton (the 80x60), I've not been able to get the Lepton 3 (160x120) to work consistently at all. One of my problems is the documentation: in it, they maintain that the fastest the camera's SPI bus can go is 20MHz/Mode 3, but the only real, consistent success I've had, using the 80x60 Lepton on a Teensy 3.6, is running it at 40MHz, Mode 0. And the only reason I was able to deduce that I should use anything other than the recommended setting was because I was able to look at another (hopelessly advanced) example of code.
I get very suspicious when things like this happen. I mean, why even publish a spec sheet like that, when it's clearly incorrect? What other "undocumented" information is out there? Where would I even look for it?
