I had the Lego cam for while and tried to reverse-engineer it. Its low
level protocol is very similar to the Logitech Quickcam Express, but it uses
a hardware compression, which I was not able to decode. There is a small
hack on my homepage
http://wwwbode.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~acher/quickcam/
(under Experiemnting), that gets the raw data stream out of it. Maybe
someone has a clue...
BTW: The CCD itself is a VV6410 by ST and I have a datasheet for it, but
that doesn't help much, since the USB-ASIC (STV610) has no documentation.
