That is what it is sold as, its actually a Chinese endoscope, and actually
looks as it it would be quite usable as such, 2 meter cord, leds in the
head, and only 7mm in diameter, I can mount it on the spindle carrier not
more than 1.75" from the spindle centerline.
But lets see what a lsusb -v says: Veeeerrrryyy lengthy

The cable has a small bump that contains a miniswitch to trigger taking a
pix, and a dimmer for the leds in the head. Thats in addition to a
plethora of streaming video formats from the looks of the above. But no one
should confuse me with an expert.

Yes, I made it work, but the sheer flood of data that that hires camera
produced just about choked the computer, and this camera with a purported
640x480 image format should be much easier to get what I want done, done.
Unforch, the driving softwares interface with a library that it uses to
access the machine data, and to then display it superimposed on the camera
image, is extremely unstable. In fact, I'm waiting till tomorrow as it only
seems to work on odd dates, and it is not working today, or maybe its the
phase of the moon? ENOTSUFFICIENTDATA.
Thanks Tormod. Didn't expect to see you on this list. :)
Cheers, Gene
