[Spca50x-devs] Aiptek Pencam 400

[Dani B. <dan...@hi...>]

Hi

I have suscribed to this list trying to help (if possible) and support
this webcam. I have a usbsnoop log that I captured yesterday (I can
make as many as are needed) on http://www.eupla.org/dani/usbsnoop.zip. I
couldn't find information about this Aiptek webcam on this list, because
sourceforge search function is not working now :S

Anyway, I have found there is a person that had made some code for this
cam.

His webpage is:

more exactly: 

http://members.chello.nl/~j.vreeken/se401/epcam-linux-2.6.1.rxq3.diff

It seems not to be a SPCA500 chipset, but maybe you can see how it
works :P

I have tried to patch Ubuntu's 2.6.10 kernel with this patch (and patch
applied correctly), webcam is detected, but it doesn't seem to start the
image stream correctly. I have contacted the author to ask him for help
but I'm waiting an answer. Maybe you all can join both drivers. Anyway,
I can make as many tests as needed, I would like to have this webcam
working at least as a webcam (it can take snapshots too) O:-)

Thanks for all
Dani Baeyens :)
