There's some info on your camera in the kernel source dir:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/stv680.txt
Just read it and you'll see that if you turn on usb support
and video4linux support in the kernel, the stv860 driver
becomes visible in the usb section...
There's also a picture download tool called "pencam2"
but you have to google a bit to get the download url.
The pencam tool is slow with my spycam300 voice, but
it works  |

Does anyone have any clue about how to make the video streaming work on this one, I can download the images from it (via "gphoto2 -P"), but I just cannot make it be recognized as /dev/video0 or something like that, not even as an usb device. So how do I use it as a webcam in Linux..? I have compiled video4linux, pencam support and usb support into the kernel. And I atleast think I have hotplug running nicely (it recognizes my mouse).
[EDIT]
Forgot to mention I have the Mini PenCam Plus..

using pencam2-0.67 | Code: | # ./pencam2
pencam_set_configuration error
Error initializing camera in main! |
i know i should remove the "stv860" kernel module, i did it and now the error changed :
| Code: | ./pencam2
usb_control_msg error: 16, command = 0x87
Error getting camera mode in pencam_init
pencam_set_configuration error
Error initializing camera in main!
|
then i tried the older pensnap-0.21 tool with option "z" :
| Code: | q = quit. z = start autosnap x = stop autosnap.
Enter your choice:
usb_bulk_read error
Re-initializing camera
Couldn't get image info
usb_bulk_read error
Re-initializing camera
Couldn't get image info |
the module is working fine, with xawtv i can use the cam as webcam, but i just want to download the pictures... THX a LOT for ANY HELP
