SubjectUSB digital microscope from Walmart
Message-ID<y5IFX-jX-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
    I bought a USB digital microscope from Walmart that the ads
claimed would work under Win2K and Linux. So far the supplier has
failed to back up that claim with meaningful info.
Has anyone had any luck getting one of these working under Debian?
    This one claims 1000x magnification and the supplier is E4. They
don't answer the phone and email correspondence has so far prove
useless.
Thanks,
Mike

No idea what this hardware is, but if it is USB, it would work as any
typical USB device. I guess it would register as video device, so post your
dmesg.

I Have something that may be similar.  Its Jiusion Digital Microscope.  It works 
with the viewer guvcview.  Its in Debian so it should be safe.  I had to plug it 
in several times to get the kernel to recognize it ... use lsusb.  First run 
lsusb then plug it in and see if there is any difference.  Mine just showed up 
as Bus 001 Device 015: ID a16f:0304 with no name.  Yoursd will be different so 
just look for the change.

I got the idea from Kris Occhipinti.  Link: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxUPCV3gbqw is where he runs the microscope with 
cheese.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Mr. Weber.
I installed guvcview and now can see the scope's output.
Much obliged,
Mike

I use a USB microscope brand name Andonstar, recently bought online.

It works fine in Debian, where it behaves just like a webcam.
The video output appears in cheese, but it is laggy, so I prefer
to use vlc with capture device /dev/video0

When plugged in, it adds the following line to lsusb output:
# lsusb
[...]
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0c45:1a90 Microdia

and running lsusb again specifying that vendor:product number reports:

# lsusb -v -d0c45:1a90
