Can I use the LEGO USB Camera on a Mac?

Yes!

A group of open-source developers created a program called macam (
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/), which provides support for USB web cameras in Mac OS X - hence, the LEGO USB camera can now be used in ROBOLAB 2.5 and higher on the Mac platform (OS 10 and higher)

The workaround for this problem (
ROBOLAB 2.5.0, 2.5.1. and 2.5.2) is as follows:

1. Close
ROBOLAB
2. Download and install the most current version of macam from http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
3. Restart your computer, and the camera should be ready to go!


Note: This is an unoffical workaround to the lack of camera drivers for the Mac. Neither LEGO nor the macam group can provide support.
