I know there has been some discussion about using cameras for center/edge finding with LinuxCNC. I just found a camera/microscope that looks REALLY ideal, but have no idea if there is a Linux driver for the camera chip.
See eBay item http://www.ebay.com/itm/321060396782?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 eBay item # is 321060396782 if the above line is messed up. it is 7 mm diameter, says 200X magnification. What I'd do is take a 3/4" R-8 end mill holder and fab a ring to permanently hold the scope, and have a groove for the cord to come out. Then, I'd find whatever pixel on the camera is at the center of rotation and make a permanent assignment of that pixel for the crosshairs. But, the eBay listing only specifies XP drivers. So, does anybody know how to find out whether there is a Linux driver for this camera? Any other comments on suitability of this unit?
