It may well allow you to send the data you need directly to the host PC.

You will almost certainly not be able to do anything at a reasonable frame rate, but to capture images and display them or scuttle them over to a computer - this has been done before on these very forums! </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=795#post-4792 Wed, 25 May 2011 15:35:24 +0000 x893 4792@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>YES !!!

Can I do this using Maple? </p>
