Hi Simon,
It looks like you have gotten it working pretty well. I'd suggest that you
release your version, as the one you found was an experimental driver for a
camera we didn't end up using, and hasn't been touched for years (it's from
the trunk_cturtle branch).
With respect to the dynamic reconfigure, I expect you can do a little extra
effort and make the dynamic reconfigure settings switch based on whether
it's a FLIR detected or just a generic camera.
With regards to the Pleora eBUS SDK, you will need to verify with them what
their licensing terms are.
