| I've finally released the BMax Linux Webcam Module. Here is the link: http://irc.maxkelley.com/~splinux/maxlinuxwebcam.zip For those who hasn't read my previous post: this is a module which will allow Linux Users to make programs using their own webcams with BlitzMax. |

| Sounds cool. I cannot test it right now. What are the features? How much frames do you get per second and what resolutions does it support? |
| ||
| My webcam supports 320x240 and 640x480, and it works well with all of them. It's programmed to work with any res supported by the webcam driver. I didn't tested fps, but it goes pretty fast with 320x240, and a little slower with 640x480(there is more data flowing). You can get a single image as a photo or acquire them within a loop. The example i gave with the module shows the second method. |

| Very useful module. One more question: is it possible to use it with some kind of defaults and suppress any kind of config window? |
| ||
| What do you mean as "config window"? I can't understand. However you can simply modify the TWebCam type's create function to do something like create(device="/dev/video0", width=320, height=240). Is that what you meant? |
| ||
| Oh, i've forgotten to put the new version, the v1.5, on the web. It's only from this version that resolution swithing is possible. |
| ||
| New version updated. go here: http://irc.maxkelley.com/~splinux/maxlinuxwebcam.zip to download the new version(the link is the same as the previous version). |
