This is a gphoto2 driver for cameras with a SunPlus spca504 chip and for the
|
|
Mustek gSmart mini, which has a spca500. It supports cameras with sdram, flash
|
|
and card storage or a combination of those. Currently we know of the following
|
|
models:
|
|
|
|
Mustek gSmart mini
|
|
Mustek gSmart mini 2
|
|
Mustek gSmart mini 3

There are probably more cameras with these chips out there and they probably
|
|
work with this driver as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
The cameras always delete the last file on them, no matter what file number is
|
|
passed to it for deletion. It is impossible to delete a specific image or
|
|
movie on the camera.

-----------
|
|
The cameras of this series are based on the spca504a and spca500 chip
|
|
manufactured by Sunplus. Both chips are capable of streaming, so there's a
|
|
project working on video4linux support for them. spca50x.sourceforge.net
|
|
We have been succesfull in getting some of the cameras supported by this
|
|
camlib working as part of that project. :)

|
based on the work of others and with help from a lot of people listed below.
|
|
The initial support for the Mustek gsmart mini 2 was based on the sources
|
|
of the windows driver kindly provided by Mustek.
|
|
|
|
Ian MacArthur <ian@imm.uklinux.net>
|
|
support for spca500 based cams with flash storage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This camlib is the result of merging several others that were created before
|
|
it was clear how they relate to each other. The thank you sections of the old
|
|
READMEs are listed here in no particular order.
|
|
|
|
Post merge thanks
|
|
-----------------
|
|
A lot of people helped with testing the merged camlib. Most of them are listed
|
|
below anyway, so I wont list them again.
|
|
|
|
Big thanks to Richard Curnow <rc@rc0.org.uk> who fixed several bug in the
|
|
gsmart mini support. His patches went in during the merge.
|
|
|
|
Hartmut Henkel <hartmut_henkel@gmx.de> helped debug a crash with thumbnails.
|
|
Rupert Levene <r.levene@lancaster.ac.uk> helped debug the merged camlib.
|
|
Norbert Möndjen <Norbert.Moendjen@t-online.de> found out that the pencams
|
|
don't react well to the reset command.
|
|
Walt Boring <waboring@3gstech.com> helped debug the above reset problem.
|
|
John Feuerstein <bizkit@baze.de> helped figuring out and testing the
|
|
workaround for Pencams without flash.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to John Maushammer <gphoto2@maushammer.com> for adding support for the
|
|
Dakota disposable cameras.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks from the Benq README
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Johan Nilsson <jni@users.sourceforge.net> made windows snoops, tested the
|
|
early versions and helped debug them. Without him, this would not have been
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks from the gsmart README
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Special thanks go to Bjorn Borud <borud@gua.no> who extorted the above
|
|
mentioned sources for the windows driver from Mustek and to Buster Lee at
|
|
Mustek for being helpful and responsive.
|
|
|
|
Special thanks also to Tim Sampson <tim@columbia-staver.co.uk>, who made the
|
|
support for spca500 based cams (such as the gsmart mini) possible by boldly
|
|
trying out my untested alpha versions.
|
|
|
|
Adam Pribyl <covex@ahoj.fsik.cvut.cz> helped debugging the lowest resolution
|
|
of the gsmart mini and had to put his cam in the fridge (!) several times in
|
|
the process. Brave man. ;)
|
|
|
|
Michel Xhaard <mxhaard@free.fr> helped add support for the Maxell Max Pocket
|
|
with patches and testing. Thanks a lot.
|
|
|
|
Very special thanks to Piotr Pawlow <pp@siedziba.pl> for adding avi index
|
|
functionality and fixing a few bugs.
|
|
|
|
Also thanks to the following people for testing and feedback:
|
|
|
|
Torfinn Ingolfsen <torfinn.ingolfsen@broadpark.no>
|
|
Mikael Nilsson <mini@nada.kth.se>
|
|
Miah Gregory <mace@darksilence.net>
|
|
Soenke Reimers <soenke.reimers@freenet.de>
|
|
Gerd Flaig <gefla@pond.sub.org>
|
|
|
|
Thanks from the spca504_flash README
|

------------------------------------
|
|
This owes everything to the work of Mark Zimmermann <mark@foresthaven.com> whose
|
|
pencamread tool I have simply ported to a gphoto2 camlib. The macam driver by
|
|
Matthias Krauß was also helpfull. All features are theirs, all bugs are mine.
|
|
|
|
I dont own a camera of this type, so I had to rely on Armin Janssen
|
|
<unclebenz@foni.net> to tirelessly produce usb snoops, test and give feedback.
|
|
Without Armin this would not have been possible, so if you own a camera that
|
|
is supported by this driver consider sending him an email and thanking him for
|
|
risking his cam so yours works on linux ;).
|
|
|
|
Thanks also to Martyn Ranyard <ranyardm@lineone.net> for testing and reporting
|
|
success with the nisis Quickpix Qp3. He also helped debug the beginnings of
|
|
avi support.
