Linux USB PIco Projector Driver Gets Updated

Posted by Michael Larabel on March 19, 2013

After being nearly one year with no news from the project, the libam7xxx library that drives various USB pico projectors on Linux has been updated.

This is a third-party project to power small USB-based mini projectors under Linux. Among the supported USB projectors are the Acer C110, Acer C112, Aiptek PocketCinema T25, Philips/SagemCom PicoPix 1020, and the Philips/SagemCom PicoPix 2055.

Aside from new device support, there's also a MinGW-based Windows port, support for setting the projector's zoom mode, multi-device support (driving multiple USB projectors simultaneously), and other changes.

More details on the new libam7xxx-0.1.3 release can be found here.
