// Thermal PCB Inspection
HotSpotter turns your USB thermal camera into a professional PCB inspection tool. Calibrated temperature readings, real-time thermal imaging, and multi-camera support — all in a clean Windows desktop app.
// Features
Built for electronics engineers who need accurate, actionable thermal data — not consumer gimmicks.
Real-time calibrated thermal imaging from your USB camera. Full-frame streaming with configurable color palettes to reveal temperature gradients the moment you point the camera.
Pixel-accurate temperature measurement at cursor position. Uses proper raw sensor conversion (raw ÷ 64 − 273.15 °C) for scientifically meaningful readouts you can trust.
Works natively with InfiRay A1T, Topdon HT-301 (UVC) and Thermal Master P3 (vendor protocol), with more cameras being added. Plug in your hardware and HotSpotter handles the driver details.
NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) support for consistent flat-field thermal accuracy. Per-camera lens configuration presets with user-editable profiles stored locally.

When you prepare folders on Windows, the system often creates hidden files like thumbs.db . Including these in your CPK can cause crashes. Use the "Edit Excluded Files" button in the CPFM to filter out these unwanted system files before building.

Modding PES 2017 requires a specific workflow to ensure the game recognizes your custom assets. Follow these steps to create your own mod file. Step 1: Preparing Your Asset Folder Create a main folder on your desktop (e.g., PES2017_Mod ). Pes 2017 Cri Packed File Maker
is a utility designed by CRI Middleware, a company that provides data compression and file archiving solutions for video games. PES 2017 uses the .cpk (Cri Packed) format to store almost all of its game data, including graphics, sounds, and database entries.
: It can be used to merge multiple smaller .cpk files into one larger file to help manage game data and create space for more mods.
Navigate to your PES 2017 installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Evolution Soccer 2017\download ). Paste the .cpk file into the download folder. Open your tool. When you prepare folders on Windows, the system
, as it allows users to create and unpack .cpk files, which are the standard data containers for the game.
archive that the game’s executable can recognize and load. How the Tool Functions
For working with files, Python libraries like struct (for binary data) and os (for file system interactions) can be useful. If there's a specific library for working with CRI files, use it. Click the at the top right (or drag
The tool will display the internal folder structure (e.g., common/character/model/real/ ). Extract: Click the Extract CPK content button.
If you have downloaded raw mod files (like a custom face folder structure) or created your own textures, you need to turn them into a .cpk file. Step 1: Organize Your Folder Structure
The DpFileList.bin is critical for loading mods. If your mods aren't appearing, ensure that your load order is correct. Some CPK managers allow you to drag and drop files to arrange their loading priority; files loaded later will overwrite files from earlier patches. Also, while newer CPK loaders may support many files, the original game had an internal limit of 32 CPK files for loading.
