Using a Sony Eye-Toy HD with Leopard
Today, I decided I wanted to get my PS3’s EyeToy working with my macbook. I like the idea of timelapse video, but hate the idea of pointing my laptop at something long enough to get a good video. I plugged the camera in but had no luck first off. System Profiler saw the camera, but I couldn’t get it to show up anywhere useful (namely, iStopMotion.) A few google searches led me to Macam . The build I downloaded was from March of 07, so I wasn’t sure it would work. It didn’t.
Another google search took me to Cristiano Betta’s blog, where he apparently had no trouble getting a PS2 Eyetoy to work with leopard. I knew I was missing something, so I went back to the macam download page, and looked for source. The latest CVS build worked just fine, however.
That did it. It works. I wish I could be more descriptive, but that’s all the info I have!
