Hi,
I have changed the subject to [GEM] if perhaps people have missed it... it would be great if anyone else is interested in this because to have a 120fps camera for less than 40$ working in GEM would be amazing...
When was the las time you tried this driver?
I'm getting one of these cameras at some point this week to try it out. It seems that with that driver you can get a video0 device, but you can only change settings when you load the driver and therefore not through pix_video...
I'll let you know if I have any success.
I'll also try the macam drivers on os x...
cheers,
J

So this is the linux driver. if it's not v4l yet could it be grabbed by gem?

Hi all,
I have found this great camera: http://shop1.frys.com/product/5421229?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
and multiple threads on drivers at http://nuigroup.com and in the openframeworks forum.
the cam can do 120fps@320x240 for 30$ in amazon...
I also found an old thread about using pix_freeframe on pd/gem in windows: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-11/066401.html Has anyone successfully captured this camera in gem on linux or osx?
tried it on ubuntu 9.04, it works fine with "cheese" and some other applications, but I had no luck with gem. (didn't try pdp yet). there's a picture when using the cam with gem but it's unusably distorted (looks like a rainbow coloured "grid" on top of the picture). also some crashes occured while changing its settings in gem. i had not much time for further testing, so maybe it's possible to make it work. i had similar errors with an other cam in mplayer before, where v4l fps setting fixed it.
I was using drivers from http://kaswy.free.fr/?q=node/42 - maybe the original drivers are different with gem...?
there's hardly visible noise and very nice contrast, but edges seemed to be over-sharpened - perhaps that's adjustable somewhere. nice cam for this price, but i wouldn't rely on it until know.
btw. the built in 4-channel audio inteface works fine using oss + pd.
