Review on πŸ”¬ Bysameyee USB Digital Microscope 40X-1000X: High Magnification Endoscope Camera for Android, Windows, Mac, Linux - Includes Carrying Case & Metal Stand by Adam Nelson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Regret the purchase for many reasons.

Put aside after hours of trying to make it work. I bought this out of curiosity and to help me read data on coins. I tried installing on Win10 which already had a camera. Gave up after a few hours of fiddling. The effort that has been put into it so far outweighs the purpose for which I wanted to use it. I can try this out on one of my Raspberry Pi platforms if I feel like spending more time. Definitely NOT plug and play if you already have a working camera. UPDATE: The distributor contacted me through Revain. They will help make it work. I will continue after help is provided. (Sorry for this contact) SECOND UPDATE: Unprompted; the dealer sent me a second device. Exactly the same results. I even tried it with my Raspberry Pi 3B and 4B. These devices are NOT plug and play. The instructions are slightly confusing and emphasize MY inability to translate, which is an honest attempt at communication. Again, much more trouble than any benefit I would have gained. I gave them both to our local high school STEM group in hopes they would find a use for them. I had to ban the seller, I regret giving him my email.
