I am working on a secondary school deployment of 1.5s and I would like to support usb microscopes within the sugar environment. I am working at Ntugi school in kenya www.ntugischool.com feel free to look us up.

I can make most of the gui changes but im stuck when it comes to glive.py. I do not know where the changes need to be made to support this device. I can take a pic with pipeline = gst.parse_launch('v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=/tmp/microscope.jpg')

What about creating activity only for this particular purpose,
I mean it could be more useful to keep Record simple and support
in Microscope activity special workflows. For example there is TimeLaps
activity (http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4270) which
is also record/video related.
