Good day to all. I recently purchased a couple of little USB pen-style microscopes=20 after seeing one in operation in a YouTube video. These are nice=20 little units and I want to use them for SMT PCB inspection. For anyone interested, here are the two eBay links for the units that=20 I purchased. They look to be identical to each other - but one costs=20 about $6 less than the other (I found it AFTER the first unit was purchased= ). US $23.68 US $29.99 Bboth units sell with free shipping to North America. I'd like to find an easy and inexpensive method to connect these=20 units to standard computer LCD monitors. Obviously, I could park=20 whatever computers I had handy somewhere near the place where they=20 are being used, but there just has to be a better solution. Unfortunately, I don't see a Linux driver on the driver disk that=20 came with the units. It doesn't mean that such a driver doesn't=20 exist - just that I haven't found it yet. Anyway, I was wondering if something like the Raspberry Pi might be a=20 possible solution. I understand that the Pi can drive a monitor=20 directly and I assume that it offers USB host. Has anyone already played with these microscopes and come up with a solutio= n?
