I needed vision for a -robotics project so I borrowed this camera from a friend and started hacking. -Anyway I've converted my original code from the AVR 8bit RISC C/ASM code into -a working Linux driver. - -To get it working simply configure your kernel to support -parport, ieee1284, video4linux and w9966 - -If w9966 is statically linked it will always perform aggressive probing for -the camera. If built as a module you'll have more configuration options. - -Options: - modprobe w9966.o pardev=parport0(or whatever) parmode=0 (0=auto, 1=ecp, 2=epp) -voila! - -you can also type 'modinfo -p w9966.o' for option usage -(or checkout w9966.c) - -The only thing to keep in mind is that the image format is in Y-U-Y-V format -where every two pixels take 4 bytes. In SDL (www.libsdl.org) this format -is called VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV422 (16 bpp). - -A minimal test application (with source) is available from: - http://www.slackwaresupport.com/howtos/Webcam-HOWTO - -The slow framerate is due to missing DMA ECP read support in the -parport drivers. I might add working EPP support later. - -Good luck! - /Jakob Kemi |
