These tools are still in development and may not allow for complete, if any, functionality of the camera. The PS4 camera is USB 3.0 only and is not compatible with USB 2.0 systems.
Pyusb 1.0 is required and may not be available through the package manager of some systems. Python-pip may help in installing the most recent version of pyusb:
With *NIX like environments:
$ sudo easy_install pip # hopefully pre-installed with python
$ sudo pip install --pre pyusb
Optional for OSX:
mkdir usbutils
cd usbutils
wget http://picusb.googlecode.com/files/usbutils-006_macosx_lion.zip
unzip usbutils-006_macosx_lion.zip
cd usbutils-006
./configure
make clean
make # you will have lsusb command compiled
It may be helpful for development purposes to disable the uvcvideo
kernel module. As root simply add blacklist uvcvideo to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then rmmod uvcvideo to unload
the already loaded module. It is then possible to initialize the
PS4 camera without uvcvideo potentially interfering with the
initialization process.
WARNING: This will disable uvcvideo for the entire system. Be sure to
comment or remove the entry from blacklist.conf after development if
you wish to re-enable the use of other cameras.
- Ensure that the uninitialized camera is recognized:
$ lsusb -d 05a9:0580
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 05a9:0580 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
- Initialize the camera with the provided script:
$ sudo ./ps4eye_init.py
PS4 camera firmware uploaded and device reset
- The device should now be available with a new product id:
$ sudo lsusb -v -d 05a9:058a
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05a9:058a OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
