amtecpowercube
[Drivers]
- Todo:
- This driver is currently disabled because it needs to be updated to the Player 2.0 API.
This driver communicates with the PowerCube via RS232, and does NOT handle the newer CAN-based units. Please submit a patch to support the CAN protocol.
The amtecpowercube driver supports both position and velocity control, via the PLAYER_PTZ_CONTROL_MODE_REQ request. For constant swiveling, the PowerCube works better under velocity control.
Note that this driver is relatively new and not thoroughly tested.
