Does this new Seek Thermal imager work with that old Seek Thermal PC software?

Ben321:
It seems that recently Seek Thermal has released the Seek CompactPro, which is a true 320x240 thermal imager attachment for cellphones. As with previous variants, the Pro is available in both Android and iOS versions. I remember a while back, on this site there was PC software (based on knowledge gathered from reverse engineering of the original Seek Thermal camera) posted on a thread about the Seek. It's on this page https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/yet-another-cheap-thermal-imager-incoming/2275/ as a post attachment, and is in a zip file called SeekThermal_006.zip (in the folder executable_debug, within this zip file). Also, there's this software in the zip file SeekOFix-v0_4-Executable.zip in a post attachment on this thread https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/seekofix-new-windows-software-for-seekthermal/25/
There may be a couple others too.

I'm wondering if any of the above mentioned software works with the new Seek CompactPro. And if it does, does it take advantage of the full 320x240 resolution, or does it only work with the old Seek's resolution of 208x156 (resulting in small images, or even corrupt images, when used with the CompactPro)? Has anybody tested that yet? Also, has anybody yet made new PC software designed for the Seek CompactPro?

joe-c:
the CompactPro was to expensive for me yet.
but i am interested to help to get it working with the SeekThermal_006.
maybe its just a simple thing (just change the resolution values)... does it have a "patent pattern" too?

have you a pro Version to try?

frenky:
For SeekOFix I can tell you that it was never made with 320x240 sensors in mind.
So even if you would get an image out it would most likely be corrupted.

I have put source code of latest version here: https://github.com/frenkinet/SeekOFix
It shouldn't be to hard to change it to support 320x240 resolution.

I don't know if it has that pattern, or anything else. I also don't have the CompactPro. What does surprise me a bit, is that nobody else on this website seems to have a Seek CompactPro. I thought that since most of the people on EEVBLOG are electronics hobbyists (a hobby in which a common piece of equipment is an oscilloscope, which can cost about $2000 for a decent one) that surely the people here would have enough money to afford a $500 thermal camera to test with software, for the purpose of helping the overall community know which hardware works with which software, and helping the software developers to improve their software.

Kilrah:
Electronics hobbyists and engineers alre also pretty clever... and if you look around you'll see the Seek is not an interesting price/value compromise.
Too poor for its price, much better options available for little more money. So those who are ready to shell out that amount won't get one, they'll get something better.

There is at least one person who has one on the forum, but I imagine the devs know better.
