This looks pretty good, not to mention that there is a lower resolution that could possibly allow for a higher frame rate...Anyways, I am thinking OLED-96 prop and one of these things could make a pretty cool digital video camera. Anyways if anyone knows of some good code for this I would be interested, I am just trying to figure out the best camera solution before I buy something.

    That part number looks like the one I have code for:

    Nice, How fast can you download the low res images? It looks like he was using the 160X120X8 format to get 1 frame per .75 second or two frames every three seconds however you look at it. So I assume if the resolution was lower that there would be smoother video from the device. I have also seen pretty smooth video from the camera with the software from comedia, which makes me believe that faster speed is possible, that could be due to a fast computer running everything. I just ordered a OLED-96-prop. I am going to try and see if I can make a little video camera out of it and the camera. hopefully I can get the non jpeg compressed images going so that I can just use the raw data. From the looks of the calculations the frame rates are as follows.

    @ 115200

    115200/(2*80*60) = 12 fps
    115200/(4*80*60) = 6 fps
    115200/(8*80*60) = 3 fps

    115200/(2*160*120) = 3 fps

    In the case of the video on youtube he was using 160X120X8
    115200/(160*120*8) = .75


    Anyways I will have to get a vga adapter to try out that software your wrote. It looks good. was that preview image able to show up at around video speed, or is it slow too. Anyways thanks that looks interesting...ohh and please correct my assumptions if they are wrong.

    Oh and what is the resolution of that preview image that you are using...I guess I should look at the code.

    It's been a while since I've used my cameras...

    But, I'm going to dig them out soon to attach to my new PSM module (going on sale soon[noparse]:)[/noparse].

    Oh yea that thing looks nice. I just bought the OLED 96-prop. So looks like I will be playing around with that for a little while. But That should be interesting. Looks like I might be changing the crystal...but then again I dont want to break it.
