And it's a shame that I'm convinced the work is already done.
Please do this in your microdia folder:
$ git checkout --track -b development origin/development
And then test it again. Good luck.

There are two reasons for this. Look into the README about libv4l and
apply the attached patch. It fixes a too low default exposure setting.

Because everyone is working on development and it will become master in
a few days (a least that's what I and maybe a few others hope). Anyway -
you're right development is much better than master right now.

Check out the pages section of our googlegroup. There is quite some
documentation(maybe not so much up2date but nevertheless). And I tried
to keep the README up2date as well.

1. As you can see documentation has one problem - no one finds it. And I
have no idea howto fix that. So, ideas and help is welcome.
2. Testing: once you get an image-stream you can test brians and my
patches - I'll supply you with links.
3. Coding: Your own cam is pretty well supported. If you have time - the
micron sensors need some attention.
