- Bluetooth support for the PS3 Sixaxis controller. are accelerometer values exposed? If anyone tries it out, please report. Thanks. BT is supported only because bluez-utils i.e. the bluetooth stack is supporting it :) so it is the same support like everywhere else. But this will give you far super...

thanks ao2. i compiled and ran the capture_example, specified /dev/video0, 1 frame, output to stdout, redirected the output to a file.... and get a file of about 600 kb size. so far, so good :-) but which format is it? any chance i can view it with an image viewer, maybe gimp? It is raw YUYV, if yo...

it really works, that's great, thanks! now on to the next question: what's the best way to read the video stream from an app? just open /dev/video, read the bytes and save them in an mpeg2 file? see v4l2-apps/test/capture_example.c in the repository you cloned, mmap is the recommender way AFAIK. me...

one step further, but still not at the finish line :-) i compiled mplayer on ps3, but all i get is a green box... any help? found the problem, a solution will be posted soon. please define soon... before xmas, after xmas, in 1 year, 10 years? :-) Sorry for the delay. With the latest code from http:...

any help?

found the problem, a solution will be posted soon.

Anyway, here's some random comments while I'm thinking about them: First, it seems strange to call the driver "ov534" when it's really a driver for "ov534/538 + ov7720". And it's a shame there's so much repetition in v4l2 in general. For example, there's definitely some shared c...

I haven't found the time yet, but it should be a problem with usb control messages. Will post here as soon as I have something.

Hi, I am also porting the previously posted ov534 driver to gspca, a preview here . It needs this patch on linux 2.6.28-rc series. Regards, ao2 Poted here for review. Hi ao2, I finally got around to testing this driver and it seems to work pretty well :) There are some limitations (it plays fine in...

I have submitted the driver for inclusion into the V4L source tree. http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=121886284726264&w=2 so, i've added this patch, recompiled and installed the kernel... 2.6.28-rc4 on ps3... ov534.ko seems to load nicely... well, actually this is the old driver, look at mo...

not yet, but now that a first version of Playstation Eye driver has been accepted I can concentrate on this.

mplayer: mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1 tv:// or gstreamer-properties thanks. but before i spend the effort and try it... let me doublecheck again: you are able to capture 25 or 30 fps with this driver and mplayer? Yes, it works, 30fps is the default frame rate, and you ...

Hi, here's how to dump the camera eeprom (derived sniffing the windows drivers): void eye_dump_firmware() { #define EEPROM_SIZE 8192 uint8_t byte; uint8_t buf[EEPROM_SIZE]; int i, ret; int fd; eye_write(EYEREG_SCCB_ADDRESS, 0xac); eye_sccb_wri...

Hi Drait,

this page has some hints about usb device chips, maybe the net2280 could work.
Or you could try with one of those linux PDAs or phones like the NEO Freerunner, they do have usb device hardware and are programmable.

Okay I fixed the makefile by adding a tab at the last line. I shouldn't have copy directly from the website but the problem is I get the following message when I run make. Maybe the forum code shouldn't have replaced the tab with spaces ;) make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/...

Hi, a driver for ov772x has been posted on linux-video today: http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=122406831802990&w=2 Yes, it is an i2c driver, so not directly usable for our purposes, but the registers set is documented, so this part can be reused. I've heard that there is some work going on ...

compeee2008 put this in a Makefile, in the same dir with ov534.c: obj-m := ov534.o KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD&#4...

From your previous post it seems like you are in the process of written a driver for Fedora. I was wondering how would you start writing a driver for linux? Can I simply based the driver design similar to the philip pwc driver (http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/) but without the other interfa...

hi,

the windows driver developer has also some interesting posts about different camera versions.
See http://alexpopovich.wordpress.com/

mmh, in OV534.INF from ovt.com drivers there is also how to turn off capture: HKR,%CamSet%, PowerOnCamera, 1, e7,3a,ff, e0,08,ff HKR,%CamSet%, PowerDownCamera, 1, e7,3b,ff, e0,08,ff HKR,%CamSet%, BlockStream, 1, e0,08,ff HKR,%CamSet%, StartStream, 1, e0,00,ff Maybe it can be useful to save some powe...

Please note that I have to skip even rows, is this normal? Where can I find such kind of information about image formats and pixelformat conversions? If you skip odd rows do you get an image as well? How big are your bulk xfers? Yes, I get an image, but then every row has an uniform color, it looks...

Hey folks -- Here's some additional information that I've discovered, but not yet been able to do much useful with: SCCB reg 0x29: appears to be the desired width / 4 SCCB reg 0x2c: appears to be the desired height / 2 SCCB reg 0x65: not entirely sure what it is, but based on other OmniVision drive...

Hi nbpengo, thanks for this additional info, it will be useful. And I appreciated you promptly added a note to credit the source of the info on which your driver is based, well done. For now I'll use jimparis' test app and try replacing the result of your guesses. If I came to anything useful we can...

Hi, Here’s a summary about what’s needed to integrate the sixaxis support in GNU/Linux systems: http://wiki.ps2dev.org/ps3:linux:sixaxis Fell free to comment/correct it. there have been other posts about that in past: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7097 http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.p...

Hi, while waiting for an updated linux driver, I would like to collect here some other resources about Playstation Eye driver development. Here are some Windows drivers: http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/2921/ they say that there could be two versions of the camera, one with a OV534 bridge and o...
