5MP interpolated 220x microscope - Not Working

Post by bhagman »

Hey guys!

I got my bundle of goodies the other day, and fired up the 220x microscope to do some SMD stuff.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/636

While I played with it for the first little bit (on Ubuntu using Cheese - thanks David!) - I was very happy with it. I disconnected the microscope to do some other things.

Then a little later, I plugged it in and tried again. This time, nothing - no image, and Cheese complained that there were no usb devices it could use.

I moved over to a Windows machine, and tried the software that came with the microscope. I installed all the drivers and the software. The software started, but complained that the camera needed to be connected (it was already plugged in, and I verified the drivers were installed in the Device Manager).

So, I found the latest software on the Adafruit site and downloaded it. I installed the drivers and the software, and got nothing but a grey screen in the software.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
