[DIYbio] Android lab apps (Optics in particular)

 Heya

 I've been building a qPCR machine and have been tossing up between photodiodes and ccds. The photodiode (OPT101) seems to work but I need one closer to the 540nm range (Limited availiabilty down here in Aus it seems...)

 I decided I should see if my phones camera (Motorola xt910) is sensitive enough for it, so went looking for a simple app to capture raw image data from the camera... and found that none seem to exist....  The closest being Camera FV-5 which has a free version which is quite buggy and can save low res .png images.

 Went searching stackoverflow etc and found some leads but nothing concrete. The best way seems to be capturing the preview data but ive yet to get it working (First time playing with android apps.)


 So basically, does anyone have any experience with android camera apps? I'm also interested in any projects currently being worked on to make the phone more useful in the lab in general.
