    Good afternoon! You do not prompt how it compiled under a kernel 2.4.20? Thanks. SIMPLY I now try to compile the driver under the videocamera on a router! (Creative pc-CAM 600).

    Hey you did a great job !
    I have a cheap webcam and it is working on the wl500 !

    Code:

    However, i tested it with palantir, and after sometime running the wl500 runs out of memory....

    I tested again your driver together with palantir 2.6, and it seems to work OK with this version. However i had it only running about 1 hour, i'll give it a long test run soon...

    Smile Uraaaaaaaaaa

    This drivers are exactly, what I needed! I wanted to try some cheaper webcams with my WL-500gP, and now it seems, that there are a lot of cheap cameras I can buy and use!

    Btw, I have one question:
    does maximum resolution of taken images depend on webcam (hardware) or depend on this drivers? I tried spca5xx with borrowed Soledo webcam (Model NO 300S-F, 0x04fc 0x0561 EzCam III spca561a
    http://www.soledo.cz/?produkty=kamer...ukt=webcam-led
    ) and realized, that it has the same maximum resolution (352x288) like max2950's webcam above, instead of having 640x480:
    Code:
    Dec 25 20:39:44 kernel: drivers/usb/spca5xx.c: [spca5xx_getcapability:1765] maxw 352 maxh 288 minw 160 minh 120
    So, is resolution question of drivers?

    Does anybody knows?

    Regards, JFK

    In most of the cases the hardware is limiting the resolution, but sometimes it might be the drivers to...

    You need olegs firmware and an usb drive where you copy the driver. In addition you need to create a post-mount script that loads the driver after boot.

    Could you recompile the LE driver (the regular one from the first post crashes whole wl500gX when I try to use spcaserv or palantir) to support vendor/device 0x045c/0x6001 - Genius QuickCam NB please ?
    I currently don't have a computer to setup the proper workspace to crosscompile it myself.

    spca5xx with VGA resolution?

    is it possible to modify the spca5xx driver to support VGA 640x480 resolution? Has anybody a wl-500gP compiled object which supports VGA?

  10. #40
    is it stable??

    does that mean, I have to create scripts to do the downloading of the image, and then to host it on a website of somesort from the router? because its not part of the original webcam support?

  11. #41

    spca5xx

    Yes, spca5xx is working ok. It gives you more even cheaper webcam options not part of the original stock firmware.

    I do not understand your question. What are you trying to achieve?

  12. #42
    Mmm...could someone who already has the toolchain set up recompile the driver for me with Vendor ID 0x0C45 and Device ID 0x6001 ? The module posted doesn't seem to pick it up, it's a Genius VideoCAM NB with the sn9c102 chip.

  13. #43
    does it crash is what I was asking................??

    is it 24/7 stable......?

  14. #44

    spca5xx.o

    Yes, the spca5xx.o driver works with Oleg. For me the spca5xx-le.o does not work. I am using Oleg 7g.
