Re: USB digital microscope from Walmart
Thank you Mr. Weber. I installed guvcview and now can see the scope's output.

I use a USB microscope brand name Andonstar, recently bought online.
It works fine in Debian, where it behaves just like a webcam.
The video output appears in cheese, but it is laggy, so I prefer
to use vlc with capture device /dev/video0
When plugged in, it adds the following line to lsusb output:
# lsusb
[...]
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0c45:1a90 Microdia
and running lsusb again specifying that vendor:product number reports:
# lsusb -v -d0c45:1a90

Its Jiusion Digital Microscope. It works with the viewer guvcview. Its in Debian so it should be safe. I had to plug it in several times to get the kernel to recognize it ... use lsusb. First run lsusb then plug it in and see if there is any difference. Mine just showed up as Bus 001 Device 015: ID a16f:0304 with no name. Yoursd will be different so just look for the change. I got the idea from Kris Occhipinti. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxUPCV3gbqw is where he runs the microscope with cheese. Hope this helps. -- *...Bob*

I guess it would register as video device, so post your dmesg.
USB digital microscope from Walmart
I bought a USB digital microscope from Walmart that the ads claimed would work under Win2K and Linux. So far the supplier has failed to back up that claim with meaningful info. Has anyone had any luck getting one of these working under Debian? This one claims 1000x magnification and the supplier is E4. They don't answer the phone and email correspondence has so far prove useless. Thanks, Mike -- If all the CHP drove the speed limit, perforce, so would the rest of us.
