I had some time to try plugging the Mosaic core into an android device today, unfortunately the official Google Play Store version of the Seek Thermal app did not detect the camera; luckily the Seek Simple .apk from the developer portal works great!
About the portal, I had sent an email to Seek Support after seeing some references to a sample viewer software in the Mosaic core .pdf’s floating around, just asking if they could help me find the software. They emailed me back the next morning with a link to the developer portal and an explanation that I would need to register first. I can post that link from the email if you think that would be alright, but I can’t find it in a google search so I figure they might be trying to keep it private. The registration was just serial number, name, address, business, intended application and expected volume, those sort of things. Very short process, I think they approved me within 24 hours after I submitted the application.
That’s interesting to see the different ways they’ve tried to mitigate the problems with thermal stability, I don’t think I’d ever have noticed there were such different designs in the marketing material without you pointing it out! I’m curious to know how effective the various revisions have been.
Thanks again for providing more interesting information about these cores Fraser, I’m constantly impressed by the extent of your knowledge and thankful for your willingness to share it here. Do let me know if you’d like any additional pictures, I could probably separate the processor board from the rest of the core if you’d like to see the other side of the PCB and the microbolometer PCB.
