me too - that would be useful
That would be so cool if B4PPC could access the web cam, or the camera. I wanted to try and write a routine that detects the devices rotation from landscape to portrait - like they do on the new HTC diamond OS
AGraham - is it theoretically technically possible to write a C library to grab frames from the camera? If so how difficult?

What are the requirements for this lib?
There are several kinds of dll's and only one kind can be used with B4PPC..which one ?
See this thread for information about libraries: http://www.b4x.com/forum/code-samples-tips/35-how-create-basic4ppc-library.html
Repeat after me - C# is not C - B4PPC needs .NET dlls written in a .NET language and C is not a .NET language.
But yes, I'm playing with a bit of C# code I've found that captures single images from the webcam on my EEE PC using Windows native avicap32.dll. No promises but I might be able turn it into a B4PPC library once I understand what's going on.
camera
Sorry - c#! Thats the problem with these geniuses they get very touchy! lol!
Anyway if you can get Basic4ppc to capture a jpeg that would be amazing! I think you deserve another award for doing the wave generator, but a cam function would definately be ground breaking!
Does the device connect to the cam through a serial connection? My device has 2 cams, do they both connect in the same way?
Does cams send the picture as a stream of pixels? Im curious if the camera sends it in JPEG format to the WM OS, or does it get compressed later?
