Would it be possible to add support for the Meade LPI camera?
Here is some information about the Camera gathered using a Knoppix Linux Live CD:
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ dmesg
...
Linux video capture interface: v2.00

Thank you,

I just tested the camera with the macam CBS build from 2009-09-25. The camera is recognized by the macam application as a "Meade ETX-105EC Camera (0x602a) [experimental]", but when I click the "play" button macam only displays "USB communication problem".
I had a look at the sources and noticed that the camera is defined as having a HV7131R sensor. This camera however contains a HV7131E1 sensor, which is veri similar to the HV7131B/D but quite different than the HV7131R according to the datasheets.
Would it be possible to change the sensor driver for this camera in macam from the HV7131R to the HV7131B/D/E1 to make this camera work?
Thank you,
Frank
