Nicola has already implemented these cameras and a release is imminent. She is just finalising the improved display of 16 bit images as they are being captured and checking for memory leaks.
Shortly after this release it is intended to release a version for the Raspberry Pi. This needs a little more work and so is unlikely to be released simultaneously.
The current release and all subsequent releases can be downloaded here: http://www.linux-astro-imaging.uk/
The latest version will be released very soon.
As this is not a full time enterprise and generates no funds, delays are inevitable. The aim is to keep the software as stable as possible, so, as testing reveals issues, they are systematically solved. Sometimes this takes more time than anticipated.
Nicola works on DMxCapture for Linux most days. The program is now huge and contains more than 30,000 lines of active code (many of which extend over a number of physical lines) and more than 7000 additional lines of internal documentation comments, and this excludes all dependencies.
To put this in perspective, if the source code was to be printed in a typical book, the book would run to many more than 1000 pages in length. That is a lot of code to maintain, test and extend.
