The easiest route would probably be to use the HD3000 since this is what was developed & tested on. Is there a specific need to use a cheaper camera as the OP of the thread you linked had wanted?

When I had posted this question I was under the impression that the other programmers had installed the appropriate drivers when I was away. That wasn't the case, so we are now using a new camera.
For any teams looking to use a PS3 Eye camera, you will need to use the gspca-ov534 ARM drivers. It seems to require make to install(which the roborio doesn't have), so you will have to manually download and extract the drivers for roborio install. It isn't worth it imo, but if that's your only option, start your search with gspca-ov534.
