Hello, I just got a "Fast Flicks" digital camera, made by Tiger Electronics. It's a very cheap device and appears to be unsupported by linux. I know C pretty well and have experience of programming in linux using gcc, so I'm thinking of writing a driver for this device. The vendor/product id is 0x919/0x100. The attached file "usb" is the contents of /proc/bus/usb/001/002 when the device is attached to my laptop (running mandrake 8.1). I haven't yet got the device working in windows, but in the next few days I'll install windows on a spare hard disk so that I can use it there (I understand there are utilities that can sniff the usb flow when the device is running under windows which would obviously help me to write a driver).
If anyone here has experience with writing usb device drivers and would like to help a newbie write one, I'd be really grateful. If you don't have time to help but have any useful tips/pointers that would be cool too. Best wishes, Bill.
