NOTE: This repository was originally forked from https://github.com/climberhunt/uvc-gadget, which itself was forked from https://github.com/wlhe/uvc-gadget, which is a fork from the original project... so it's a little bit of a mess here. Anyways, this little aside at the top of the README is the only bit that I have updated in the README so far.

To be perfectly honest, I am still trying to learn the ins-and-outs of uvc-gadget and OTG usage before I feel confident enough to make the README actually comprehensible to humans who are not neck-deep in this stuff. I love good documentation, but I hate misleading or hard-to-read documentation.

Anyways, check out https://github.com/geerlingguy/pi-webcam for the downstream and user-friendly usage of this project.

The main thing is you can choose once (for now) between 720p or 1080p when you set this up—the project currently defaults to 720p, but if you want to switch to 1080p, then BEFORE you run this stuff, find the code with 'For 720p' and comment those parts out, and find the code with 'For 1080p' and uncomment those parts. I hope to make this all so much simpler in the future, allowing easier selection.
