Hi
Thank you for the module compilation
.
I have also the Genius V2 cam, can you tell me which version of the driver did you compiled ? The last time i tryed it, this cam wasnґt supported as far is needet for all-day operation since it didnґt adjusted the shutter speed for propper brightness controll which is needet for the way the cam works, with no dram and direkt video aray to usb transfers. This makes the framerate heavily light-dependant
.
I am trying it just the moment.
As i suspekted, the picture is unusable, i can hardly recognise anything, spurios pixels and a greyish picuture at all.
Also, Palantir crashes after a short time of operation.
Code:

This is a fault of the cam support of the driver, not depending on your nice work. I think other better supported cams should work fine with this driver and he should be integrated into the main modified firmware line.
Seems to be a memory leak problem or similar, cause it kills various processes as well.
