I was trying to install a webcam to provide feedback. I have connected the camera and seek in /proc/bus/usb/devices for the vendor and id device, I realize that the driver that support my webcam is the GSPCA / SPCA5xx. So with some kernel configuration for video support and with the help of the crosscompiler I've obtain the module. I've tested with Ekiga and it works ok.
I have developed a pulse oximeter based on a 32 bit microcontroller, it has an usb interface based on a ftdi chip so I am using the ftdi_sio driver to perform serial comunication with the Efika. This will be replaced with a wireless interface. There are still plenty of A/D converters and IO pins for other sensors. The Efika can store and show through a web page the acquired data.
