Topic: webcam
hi all
some people seem to have had some success with webcams though i'm not getting very far at the moment
i'm currently trying to get a Trust WB-5400 webcam to work
under osx (my build environment), when i run "system_profiler SPUSBDataType"
i get:
USB20 Camera:
Product ID: 0x624e
Vendor ID: 0x0c45 (Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.)
Version: 1.00
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Location ID: 0x24100000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
when i plug it into chumby, i get a new entry "/dev/usbdev1.3" or "/dev/usbdev1.4" or "/dev/usbdev1.5"
lsusb doesn't seem to exist on the chumby so cant get more info. can it be built?
i'm still having trouble trying to build hello world for chumby at the moment!
(cant find include files, e.g. iosteam using arm-elf-gcc)
This page and this one suggest that it uses a Microdia driver, which from what I hear here may put me in a good position
ideally, i want to be able to show the view from the webcam on the lcd screen, and capture that image (either at screen res using imgtool or at full res using something like streamer
on a side note:
it'd be nice to have a binary repository of apps/utils that have been built for the chumby. is this part of the chumbyforge idea?
