compile module

Install kernel sources in =/usr/src/linux=, copy over ov534.c to =drivers/media/usb/gspca/=

apt-get install kernel-package build-essential linux-source cd /usr/src tar xvjf linux-source-3.XX.YY.tar.bz2 ln -s usr/src/linux-source-3.XX.YY /usr/src/linux cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers /usr/src/linux make oldconfig make modules_prepare make SUBDIRS=drivers/media/usb/gspca/ modules cp drivers/media/usb/gspca/gspca_ov534.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/usb/gspca/ rmmod gspca_ov534 modprobe gspca_ov534

Depends on v4l2loopback + libopencv-dev + libv4l-dev

V4L2 loopback

Load kernel module and add 3 devices:

modprobe v4l2loopback video_nr=10 card_label="ps eye raw"

Set framerate for loopback:

$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video10 --set-ctrl sustain_framerate=1

v4l2loopback-ctl set-fps 30 /dev/video10

PSeye

Enable raw mode and set frame rate for ps eye:

$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl focus_automatic_continuous=1 --set-parm=30

Disable set exposure to manual and then to higher value, disable autogain

Launch pseye2loopback

$ ./pseye2loopback --width 640 --height 480 --video-in /dev/video0 --video-out /dev/video10

WARNING: due to the way the bayer matrix is encoded / decoded, do not use the V4L "vertical flip" flag. Instead use arguments for pseye2loopback "--vflip" (also "--hflip" added for commodity).
