ECP webcam reset problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello people.

I'm playing with a parallel port webcam (weeCam), and hope to get it
working for an experiment with a microprocessor (at the university).

Once in a while, the communication completely hangs - even libieee1284
cannot seem to get out of it. Only solution is to abort the program,
remove ppdev and lp, and power cycle the camera.

I suspect the ASIC in the camera get into a weird state and some special
code sequence is necessary to get it out of it.

Has anyone had a similar experience, I'm guessing that such states can
appear with most ASICs, and (guessing again) that it might take a special
combination of the control lines to get it out of that state.

Thanks in advance,

John
