vcc4CameraExample.cpp

This is an example using the Canon VC-C4 Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera.

This program uses key commands to control the pan, tilt, and zoom of the camera. It uses the same slew for the pan and tilt axes. It defaults to use the microcontroller port Aux1. See the setport comments below to use the computer's serial port, or a different aux port on the microcontroller.

Commands: _________________

UP,DOWN -- tilt up/down by 1 degree LEFT,RIGHT -- pan left/right by 1 degree X,C -- zoom in/out by 10 units (80 total) I -- initialize PTU to default settings >,< -- increase/decrease the positional increment by one 1 degree +,- -- increase/decrease the slew by 5 degrees/sec Z -- move pan and tilt axes to zero H -- Halt all motion S -- Status of camera position and variable values P -- Power on/off the camera ESC -- Exit program
