It works for me. I had no problems with the documentation.
I have a couple of image problems:
1) The first 6 pixels on the first scan line are usually very wrong. The
first 6 pixels on following scan lines are sometimes a little light.
2) At 80x60 6 bpp, every 4th pixel is darker than its neighbors. Other
resolutions are fine, likewise 4bpp is fine.
I'm guessing that 1) might be a timing problem or it might be in my camera.
I'm embarrassed to report that I'm still running Linux 1.1.59. Does anyone
else see similar problems?

And thankyou.
My next project is to put the images on my web page. Has anyone bolted
the software together yet. I'm going to connect the camera to a couple
servos so I can do tilt and pan.
