| 5 | introduction: |
| 6 | This brings support under Linux for the Aiptek PocketDV 3300 in webcam mode. |
| 7 | If you just want to get on your PC the pictures and movies on the camera, you should use the usb-storage module instead. |
| 8 | The driver works with several other cameras in webcam mode (see the list below). |
| 9 | Maybe this code can work for other JPEG/USB cams based on the Coach chips from Zoran? |
| 10 | Possible chipsets are : ZR36430 (ZR36430BGC) and maybe ZR36431, ZR36440, ZR36442... |
| 11 | You can try the experience changing the vendor/product ID values (look at the source code). |
| 12 | You can get these values by looking at /var/log/messages when you plug your camera, or by typing : cat /proc/bus/usb/devices. |
| 13 | If you manage to use your cam with this code, you can send me a mail (royale@zerezo.com) with the name of your cam and a patch if needed. |
| 14 | This is a beta release of the driver. |
| 15 | Since version 0.70, this driver is only compatible with V4L2 API and 2.6.x kernels. |
| 16 | If you need V4L1 or 2.4x kernels support, please use an older version, but the code is not maintained anymore. |
| 17 | Good luck! |
| 18 | |
| 19 | install: |
| 20 | In order to use this driver, you must compile it with your kernel. |
| 21 | Location: Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux -> Video Capture Adapters -> V4L USB devices |
| 22 | |
| 23 | usage: |
| 24 | modprobe zr364xx debug=X mode=Y |
| 25 | - debug : set to 1 to enable verbose debug messages |
| 26 | - mode : 0 = 320x240, 1 = 160x120, 2 = 640x480 |
| 27 | You can then use the camera with V4L2 compatible applications, for example Ekiga. |
| 28 | To capture a single image, try this: dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.jpg bs=1 count=1 |
