v4l-lua is a small library binding V4L2 CAMERA API to Lua. See the example "capture.lua" to see how easy is to capture from V4L2 cameras :D To compile v4l-lua, you'll need the v4lconvert and Lua development files. WARNING: THIS LIBRARY STILL IS IN ALPHA STAGE! Plese, report bugs ;) Install instructions -------------------- * download lua and v4l headers: sudo apt-get install lua5.1-dev sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev * compile make * run the test lua capture.lua You should see a new file image.ppm
