Creating the software, I

Played with GPSLib4J until the GPS ran out of power, which was pretty soon. At least I know Loihi is able to connect and receive information. Ran into some NPEs depending what kind of listener I was adding. This is a bug in the lib; luckily it comes with the source so it can be fixed (the blessings of open source...).

What I could not get to work even with looking at the web quite a bit was capturing images from the web cams. I found that the Java Media Framework (JMF) is able to do the trick in theory. The JMF Registry indeed shows two devices for image capturing, but when I use the names detected by the registry to obtain the device objects, I'm unable to get them (just get a null). Some more experiments needed...
