title: Thermal modes for FLIR Lepton Camera
body: <p>I'm use a FLIR thermal camera on a Jetson NX to display thermal images. I'm using opencv's video capture but I'm having an interesting issue where sometimes the camera frames are in greyscale and sometimes they are in BGR. I can't seem to find a pattern to why this happens, but is there a way to set a color mode to make it consistently open in RGB mode?</p>
  <pre><code>vid = cv2.VideoCapture(3)
  _, frame = vid.read()
  ```
