Hi, everybody.
Watching this forum since last year end - Thank you for your deep investigation of the subject device. Here below some coins from my side for practical usage of Seek Thermal with Sony Xperia phone with side usb socket. Used for almost 10 month out of trouble.
Materials:
1. soft bumper case for the phone,
2. a piece of rubber core rope(abt 30mm lenght, 3 mm dia),
3. usb socket set micro for mobile .
4. usb wire cord from any stuff - 2 inch lenght
5. a little piece of sheet metal(jerrycan etc)
6. 5min epoxy
7. 30-40 min of free time.
- Place the Seek at the most desirable(for you) position at the back of your phone,
- then pierce two holes in the bumper
- insert the strand and check the length, then cut,
- make two cheese shaped end washers from metal by scissors,
- fix ends of rope with washers,
- mix epoxy and apply to rope ends, cover with adhesive tape,
- insert the phone into the bumper, wait abt 1 hr,
- attach Seek,
- check the required lenght of usb cable by placing both usb male and female into respective socket,
- solder otg cable as required, then fix wires at both connections by drops of epoxy.
The benefit of short usb cable I've got with this - the cable may be stored inside the Seek Thermal suppled box.
Pls see pictures for deails.
P.S.
