canonvcc4
[Drivers]
- Todo:
- This driver is currently disabled because it needs to be updated to the Player 2.0 API.
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.
There is a related project that may be of interest to people hacking on this driver.
