Hello again, people. I believe I have found in my log the commands
that are setting up that white balance parameters. I am pasting an
excerpt of the log at the end. (I changed the subject now that is
seems this is actually the way I should follow)
It looks to me that in that SetupPacket vector the "88" encodes what
channel to set. 87 for red, 88 for blue and 89 for green. The
following value is the level, which is default to 0x20.
The question now is how do I offer to set up that parameter in the
driver? What function can I use to transmits a vector that way, so I
can make a hacky test?
In other words: would it be possible or me to just cut and paste some
code in the driver to implement that? Or will I be finally forced to
actually learn what I am doing? :)
regards,
++nicolau
