Re: Microneye software, where?

Dear All,

I own a Microneye camera but I lack its software. I would like to know
whether some of you could provide me with a link to download it.

A search among the archive of csa2 brought me to several threads and
links but all return in error.

I thank you in advance for your help.


Wasn't that the de-capped DRAM chip adapted for use as a camera
(from back when CCDs were very expensive)?

Circuit Cellar (Byte Magazine) ran an article on it, IIRC, but
the principle should be:

1. Write all 1's (or all 0's) to the DRAM,
2. Wait for the desired exposure time,
3. Read back the DRAM--any differences are proportional
   to the received illumination.

The relationship between address and the image geometry
will need to be determined empirically.
