PS3 Eye uses bulk transfers while I see Kinect uses iso transfers, anyway gspca handles both so in the end, yes, the driver could be quite similar, and the packet scanning routine could be taken from the userspace library if the license allows that. > The engine controller and the accelerometer needs to be adressed to > which place ? Linux-input ?. > I think so, exposing the accelerometer as an event device sounds natural, about the motor I still don't know. Do those show up as usb HID devices somehow? About integrating the audio part (which has not even been guessed yet) is where I shamelessly show my ignorance :) Regards, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite http://ao2.it PGP public key ID: 0x4553B001 A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
