ADC Achiever Digital [[Camera]]

ADC-100 , ADC-65 @ http://www.achiever.com.hk/

ADC 65 & ADC 100 are similar product that works over ParPort or SeriaL

And it seems that sserpent use it through serial port (mine is a parallel), so a adapater can make his driver usable.

[[Linux]] Driver for ADC 65 ( [[ToDo]] )

Is the only driver for linux is that one ? http://www.psnw.com/~smokeserpent/code/

http://www.psnw.com/~smokeserpent/gm-arch/00000091.html

http://www.psnw.com/~smokeserpent/gk.html

And I did not figure how to use it under linux.

(The 1.0 miss the configure script)

MISC

ADC 65 / DIGITAL CAMERA

Well it is a toy device..dont takes it too seriously (I won it, I think it might be buyable for less than 100 USD )

The quality of 320×200 is quite watchable (don't expect something better that webcams)

Its frame capture rate is kinda slow, so avoid motion when taking picture. The light exposure is an important factor too. I get around 1:5 good pictures' ratio.

But the major annoying problem is that it is powered by 4 A3 battery …and there is not ROM memory.

http://www.achievercam.com.hk/

Compact in size and lightweight 256 x 256 CMOS sensor and have 15 images storage capacity (8 for my model)

  • 4 software:

~ ArcSoft PhotoBase ~ ArcSoft PhotoStudio ~ ArcSoft Photo Fantasy ~ Arcsoft Photo Printer

  • International DRAM Memory allows fast capture

refreshing time and fast retrieving time while downloading

  • Output images are ideal for printing to stickers

or outputting as a credit-sized clipart

  • Packaging-Clamshell with the camera, cable and CD rom

And I was wondering if we can use it as a webcam (very low rate …but continuous) ?

And I did not figure how to use it under linux.
