# Video4Linux capture driver for Copper (V4L2)
## Compatibility
It should work with any v4l device (USB, MIPI etc.).
## Usage
Add the driver like any other source in Copper:
```RON
tasks: [
(
id: "src",
type: "cu_v4l::V4l",
params: {
device: 0, // /dev/video0
width: 3280,
height: 2160,
fps: 30, // frames per second, fractions are not supported yet.
fourcc: "NV12", // format of the image
buffers: 4, // How many images copper is able to keep in memory
timeout_ms: 500, // How long should we wait for a new image
},
),
]
```
When you connect this driver to the rest of the system you need to use the `cu_sensor_payloads::CuImage` message type.
```RON
cnx: [
(src: "src", dst: "dst", msg: "cu_sensor_payloads::CuImage"),
],
```
