canonvcc4 [Drivers] The canonvcc4 driver controls a Canon VC-C4 PTZ camera. The canonvcc4 driver operates over a direct serial link, not through the P2OS microcontroller's AUX port, as is the normal configuration for ActivMedia robots. You may have to make or buy a cable to connect your camera to a normal serial port. Look here for more information and wiring instructions. The VC-C4 is a rather slow device. Actions and specially initialization steps need time to take effect. VC-C4 ranges: Pan range in degrees: -98...98 Tilt in degrees: -30...88 Zoom units: 0..2000 The canonvcc4 driver only support position control. Compile-time dependencies none Provides ptz Requires none Configuration requests none Configuration file options port (string) Default: "/dev/ttyS1" The serial port where the camera is connected Example driver ( name "canonvcc4" provides ["ptz:0"] port "/dev/ttyS1" ) Todo: Add more functionalities. Actually Only pan, tilt and zoom values can be set up. Authors Elena Lazkano', Aitzol Astigarraga
