Hi all , meanwhile , I tested uvcvideo drivers , and with uvcview , it works !!!! So , camera works , and with uvcvideo drivers , even in Xubuntu .... Even...
I joined a long while back, but had problems installing on old laptop. But I installed on a younger laptop that I purchased and have successfully installed. Is...
Hi Marc, The Linux driver only handles cameras that go through PWC (Philips & compatibles) There is currently no support for any other driver. We may consider...
... You could try here for instructions. http://arnholm.org/astro/software/wxAstroCapture/windows/index.htm -- Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ ...
... And if there are specific questions, please ask here and we will try to answer, and maybe use it to build some kind of quick reference. Carsten A. Arnholm ...
Thanks I will explore the program futher. I'm sure I will find some things I don't know how to do. If not, it's dumb proof. I have some experience with...
This is somewhat OT, but it seems likely that many who use wxAstroCapture will also use RegiStax. Pre-release versions of the new RegiStax5 have been released...
Hi Martin , thanks for the reply . maybe I should try the PWC driver . Wich one should I use and where to get it ? Thanks Marc ... & ... we have to ... Xubuntu...
... Thanks for the tip Ken, Registax is a good alternative for wxAstroCapture users on both Windows and Linux. Can you confirm that RegiStax 5 also will be...
... RegiStax isn't an alternative to wxastroCapture. They do different but complimentary jobs. wxastroCapture handles image capture from a webcam. RegiStax can...
... You are right of course, Ken. Blame it on the language. I realiy meant to say complement, not alternative. ... Ok, thanks. The Registax/Wine issue is...
... I assumed that, but wanted to make it clear to others. I wish that my knowledge of Norwegian was half as good as your knowledge of English. ;-) Regards ...
... Hello Marc, If I remember this correctly, wxAstroCapture should work "out of the box" with Philips Webcams (=PWC) on Ubuntu/Kubuntu, no need to install...
Yes, it works like a charm on my (X)Ubuntu 8.10 out of the box. There is only basic PWC support, that means only 5 and 10 fps. AFAIK to gain full support to...
... Martin, Is that entirely correct? AFAIK, the original PWC was a kernel module which required provisions to be made for it in the kernel. The PWC developer...
AFAIK yes. The entire story was on line and I've found some times ago. Since the "advanced" compression method to sqeeze frames at higer frame rates on a 1.1...
Hi together, What I meant is that a distribution may not include it in the kernel. Then you have to reconfigure the kernel to have it made and loaded once a ...
If Saillard can't help you with lsmod, who can? Anyway what you say about compression is exactly what I meant when I said "pointless". Even more pointless is...
Hi all, Just to break the relative silence here: Martin and I are currently preparing an update to wxAstroCapture with some new features & improvements. We...
Hello Carsten and Martin, ... This is very good news. Are you planning on supporting any other cameras in the new version ? I have a QHY 6 which has the...
... Hello Clive! Well... there will be an improved USB interface with Artemis/Atik, but unfortunately we have not succeeded in getting the Atik 16IC to work on...
... Hi Michele, Well then I have some good news, it is going to be included. There will be an additional LX200 protocol "dialect" called "LX200 style Qx end"...
Hello Carsten, ... Pity about the QHY series of cameras as they are taking off nicely now. I look forward to the new version of wxAstroCapture and being able...
Hi Clive, I took a look at the QHY cam. It uses a Cypress FX2 USB2 chip which requires a firmware file to be loaded (8051 uC is in there) which controls the ...
Hello, I want to ask, if there is a way, to make wxAstroCapture using the Ascom Interface to control a CAM? Or alternatively controlling the CAM directly. ...
