First, I've read much of the documentation and searched the list archives for relevant stuff. Yes, I know that the i1 isn't directly supported by Argyll and that there aren't any plans to add such support in the future. Frankly, if it weren't so (relatively) inexpensive and I not so poor, I would have gotten some other instrument that /is/ supported and whose manufacturer is more generous with documentation. But...I'm poor.
The trouble with the Eye1 is that either
1) the USB interface needs to be reverse engineered so
that free drivers can be written
or
2) Gretag needs to make the USB protocol documentation
available to developers
or
3) Gretag need to make free (as in LGPL free) drivers
available for it for all platforms (all flavours of
Linux/Unix, OSX and MSWindows)
or
4) A commercial version of Argyll could use the
commercial (closed source) drivers from Gretag,
but only on MSWindows or OSX.I don't have access to an Eye1 to do 1), and don't feel like spending the money at this time to do so, unless I'm doing 4).
If someone with an Eye1 feels like doing 1) [And decides that Gretags licensing conditions don't make it impossible, or they live in a country where the local laws override any such licensing conditions], then I'm happy to try writing a driver based on the resulting documentation.
otherwise unmodified.) Unfortunately, the profile wasn't even in the ballpark--it looked like somebody scribbled with the pencil in a curves adjustment in Photoshop.
What did profile (or profcheck) report as the fit error ? This is usually the givaway as to whether the patches got mixed up.
I've also tried to use ColorPort, and quickly discovered that the output file needs to be massaged rather extensively. I tried to compile David Gangola's cpxchg, but all I found was the one he posted to the list...and that needs a couple #include files that I didn't find. ColorPort ``feels'' like the superior tool of the two, but I'd almost put up with hand-transcribing readouts from Eye-One Share at this point, if that's what it took to get started on the right path.
If someone would send me a couple of colorport files, then I'd be happy to see if logo2cgats can be modified to accept those files as well. It doesn't sound hard.
