  • [mac, uvc-ctrl] uvcc: uvc-controller app, alpha version out

    new version out.


    uvcc icon stolen from the internetcodename “ugly-code” is out!
    with it you can kill auto-focus/-exposure/-white balance and set the absolute value of these manually on a uvc camera. the gui is really just thrown together and may not recognize your cam if it returns any error in the get-all request of uvcc.app/Contents/Resources/uvc-ctrl. it does however work nicely with the logitech c910 (on both x86_64 and i386 snowy leopards). a screenshot is available in the earlier post about it.
    oh, and i stole the icon from somewhere on the internet.. can’t even remember where!

    note: requires python 2.6, shipped with os x 10.6 – snowy leopard. so if you are running os x 10.5 you can update your python installation, or just wait.. ill get a new, python >= 2.5 version up in a while.

    note 2: found a bug, the auto exposure slide should go from 1 to 8. selecting 0 will cause an error that goes unnoticed by (well, not that unnoticed.. you’ll notice the setting wasn’t saved)!

    note 3: got some reports it isn’t working.. it seems alotta progs that use a webcam resets all settings (and thus turns on auto-whatever) when opened. This may very well be an apple driver “feat” but most people i’ve spoken with says it works well if they turn off the auto-whatever after starting said program.
    btw, beer is good.

  • [mac] libusb-1.0.8 package (installer) for os x

    built a libusb-1.0.8 package installer for os x. it’s a universal binary for both i386 and x86_64 archs (“32 and 64 bit”).
    it was built on a snow leopard (10.6) x86_64 machine; haven’t been able to try it on any other version/arch. used the default minimum target setting in packagemaker which was leopard (10.5) and compiled both a i386 and a x86_64 lib and lipo’d them together.
    anyone with a i386 machine and/or other versions of os x are very welcome to report success/fail.
    update: tested and working on i386 snow leopard.
    update2: tested and working in os x 10.7 (Lion), thank you F-red!

  • getting bankid to work on Arch Linux x86_64

    thought id share how i got bankid (nexus personal) to work on my Arch64-box.. all credits go to zoledian and his guide on the arch forum. pretty much all you have to do is follow his guide, but since some of the packages are outdated i thought id make a note. ill assume you have yaourt installed in this guide and you really should, nspluginwrapper comes with about a bunch of lib32-dependencies!
    First off, install lib32-libidn, lib32-libpng12, nspluginwrapper-debian (the nspluginwrapper aur is outdated and didnt work when i tried to install it) and zip:

    yaourt -Sy lib32-libidn lib32-libpng12 nspluginwrapper-debian
    pacman -S zip

    create the folder /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins

    download LinuxPersonal.tgz from https://install.bankid.com/. Unpack and install it:

    tar -xvf LinuxPersonal.tgz
    cd personal-<your.version>
    sudo ./install.<your.version>.sh i

    now nspluginwrap it

    nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libplugins.so

    and that should be it! you can try it out on https://test.bankid.com/.
    I for some reason could not create a new bankid using opera on handelsbanken (it complained about my version) and had to use firefox.. but all the other stuff works just great in both opera and ff.
    if you need to troubleshoot it you can do so by adding the following to ~/.personal/config/Personal.cfg

    [Diagnostics]
    Trace=/directory-you-want-the-log-in

    and if it all goes to hell you run

    sudo ./install.<your.version>.sh u

    to uninstall!
