OSX 10.14 >> changed vendor and product IDs
Hey there,
out of whatever reason, the product and vendor IDs of my PS3EYE changed when updating to OSX 10.14 (Mojave), leading to PS3Eye not detecting the camera.
quick fix (in PS3Eye.java
):
// static final public short VENDOR_ID = 0x1415;
// static final public short PRODUCT_ID = 0x2000;
static final public short VENDOR_ID = 5141;
static final public short PRODUCT_ID = 8192;
How I got there:
find external USB cam with
ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0
and extract information on idProduct
resp. idVendor
from its return. This is what I got for the camera:
$ ioreg -p IOUSB -l -w 0
[...]
+-o USB Camera-B4.09.24.1@14300000 <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x100000d1c, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (12 ms), retain 18>
{
"sessionID" = 1712473030119
"iManufacturer" = 1
"bNumConfigurations" = 1
"idProduct" = 8192
"bcdDevice" = 512
"Bus Power Available" = 250
"USB Address" = 24
"bMaxPacketSize0" = 64
"iProduct" = 2
"iSerialNumber" = 0
"bDeviceClass" = 0
"Built-In" = No
"locationID" = 338690048
"bDeviceSubClass" = 0
"bcdUSB" = 512
"USB Product Name" = "USB Camera-B4.09.24.1"
"PortNum" = 3
"non-removable" = "no"
"IOCFPlugInTypes" = {"9dc7b780-9ec0-11d4-a54f-000a27052861"="IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBLib.bundle"}
"bDeviceProtocol" = 0
"IOUserClientClass" = "IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2"
"IOPowerManagement" = {"DevicePowerState"=0,"CurrentPowerState"=3,"CapabilityFlags"=65536,"MaxPowerState"=4,"DriverPowerState"=3}
"kUSBCurrentConfiguration" = 1
"Device Speed" = 2
"USB Vendor Name" = "OmniVision Technologies, Inc."
"idVendor" = 5141
"IOGeneralInterest" = "IOCommand is not serializable"
"IOClassNameOverride" = "IOUSBDevice"
}
this works like a charm.
