Hello Carsten, ... Thank you for the kind words. Sorry, I normally give all the information with the image. Note to self. Self, don't type letters when...
Just wanted to drop a note saying 'Hey'. I just recently stumbled upon this software while looking for apps to install. I wiped XP home from the laptop I was...
... Hi Bob and welcome to the group! XP Home to Ubunto 7.10 sounds like a good idea :-) Did you actually try the SAC7 with wxAstroCapture? AFAIK SAC7 is...
I'll give you a report either later tonight or tomorrow. I do know that my Logitech Quickcam 4000's work with it fine but they're unmodified at this time. ......
... As part of my writup on the pages mentioned above, I'm looking for information about controlling modified webcams via USB/serial converters which I...
... Hi Ken, When you use a USB/Serial connection, the OS provides a new serial port to applications. At least this is true on Windows, I have not yet tried it ...
... Many thanks Carsten. I already have a USB to serial adaptor (from a previous non-astro project) which I have had working under Linux. It's just a matter of...
It seems to work fine but I'll need to do some more testing to make sure the LE default settings are correct for it. It's been almost a year since I did this...

Hi, Martins message "Successful modification...." wasn't quite as delayed as it seems. It got stuck in the group spam filter. It is now switched off, so this...
Hi Erik, Do you know if you have installed the Philips drivers or just run the cam using the intrinsic Windows drivers? I've never used those as I always had...
Many thanks Martin. This confirms what I (thought) that I had figured out. It's good to know, if only because no doubt I will need to get a new laptop someday....
Hi Carsten and Martin, Yes it always crashes, I have still not been able to capture, however, the camera is good with the original Philips software, or for...
... Hi Erik, So it looks like it isn't a driver issue. I suggest you do install vcredist_x86.exe as specified then. This will install DLLs into the so called...
