Hi the driver is already included in ubuntu.

using a program such as camorama should allow you to use your microscope

Thanks, Olivier. But can I control the lights of the microscope, too with this program?

Hi !

I think you need to download and compile the cpia-control program. As the program is a bit outdated, the is no package ready.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for getting an idea of how compiling works.

Tell me if you have some problems (and I guess you will :-) )

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask wj for more information if necessary.
