Just wondering if this kind of thing is possible by plugging a USB camera in the Pandora, and letting it take snapshots every minute (or less). 

Has anyone tried it ? 

What instructions would one use to access the USB webcam OR camera data?

One step further, could the Pandora be used to control Camera settings before taking each picture ? 
 
I think this is easily possible. Have a look at the vlc pnd and some online documentation.


Alternatively you could use something like jmpgstreamer (don't know if this is the right spelling).
 
There is a Android App for Canon cameras to control the Camera via USB.
 
Moved to General talk.. figured it would get better attention.

I used to play with this kind of setup a few years ago on my computeur, with 2 differents webcam and a Nikon D70 camera.

I think the easyest way to make this works on pandora is to use a full dist like Debian or Slackware, softwares will be already packaged.

If your webcam is video4linux compatible it should be easily setup. I think the module is already in the kernel.

For driving a Camera, PTP module is needed, but i don't know if it's in our kernel.

Many cameras have a remote trigger socket.

The pandora has GPIOs

Anyone for a bit of hardware hacking?
 
ED sells them, but you may need some 1337 soldering skills to actually connect anything.
 
Is imagemagik ported to the Pandora?

you can make a simple screenshot macro using it's commands for such a task.

I created a in-game "webcamera" using 4 lines of code. doing such a thing.
