MS5 WiFi Microscope: reconstructing the camera's UDP video protocol
MS5 WiFi Microscope reconstructs the MS5 camera's UDP command and video protocol and supplies a Python client that serves its reassembled JPEG stream as MJPEG. The documentation specifies command headers, the OpenVideo port handshake, chunk layout and resolution queries; the author reports 1280×720 streaming at roughly 25–30 fps on MS5 hardware.
