I have Pixart camera and can't find the Drivers.

I've tried XP-SocPcCamerazenithusbdriver, SC120 and Vimicro_301_Driver,
and with all, I've modified the .inf file to match the HardwareId listed in Device Manager(PID_2608),

so changed:

Code:

%DI_Description%=PA.USBDCam,USB\VID_093a&PID_2468

to

Code:

;%DI_Description%=PA.USBDCam,USB\VID_093a&PID_2468
%DI_Description%=PA.USBDCam,USB\VID_093a&PID_2608

but still no luck

Any tips ?

Thanks in advance,
George

Hi orgicus

When you view the hardware ID list for your cam does it include USB\VID_093A&PID_2608&MI_00 as that ID matches this driver HERE. Download and run the Setup file. Tho i'm not certain which versions of Windows it supports. so if it should work for you let me know which version Windows you're running

Thanks for the quick reply LookingAround.

I've installed the driver, altough with a few hickups (for some reason the Device Manager was prompting for some missing files. There was a sys file which was already in the Windows folder, a few .ini files and images (from some optional applications I imagine) ), but in the end IT WORKED!

woo hoo! Thank you very much, I've spent ages before hand trying to work this out.

Now I would like to access the camera from Processing, but the Capture class in the video library throws an error. (I'm guessing something weird with Quicktime, wish they used DirectDraw on windows)...but I'm guessing the Processing forums is the best place for this.

Thanks again!

Well, that was easy

If anyone is interested, to get QuickTime capture on Windows(which is used by Processing's video library), you need to install WINDVIG101 (via Processing forum)

Thanks for that tip orgicus!

miss and anyone else having problems if u email me @ [email removed for your safety] i have it on disc i will then attach files in an email.

sorry for putting email . if allowed i will give email to pll if they still need these drivers i have the origanal disc here.

To all

Here is a website with all variations of the CIF SINGLE CHIP drivers (specifically for webcams, because cif single chips can also be a LAN card, not to be confused.)

The Eye110 driver will usually fix ya right up INCLUDING WIN 7 64 BIT.
if it works but you have a problem with the infrared, just try the others.
the last two links on bottom are the origional drivers for 32 bit. like the cheezy mini cds that come with webcams from ebay.

These cameras have been around a long time and so have these drivers. It took me about 10 seconds to find these drivers on google!
