Journal Journal: Disposable Digital Camera now connects to home computers 2
The protocol for the $11 disposable digital camera previously mentioned on Slashdot has been reverse engineered. You can build a $7 USB cable and add Mac, Linux, or Windows software, and you'll have a 1.2 megapixel camera you don't have to worry about. Picture quality isn't that great, but it's cheap enough to experiment with. It turns out that the camera's interface is similar to others supported by gphoto2, except that a simple hash function enables data transfers. No encryption was used.
