Xbee and 8bytes of synchronous communication.
Not sure if there is a clever way to approach this... But I'm wanting to make a wireless connection for a Lanc Video controller. Does anyone think its possible to do it with out using a micro controller? Maybe some how just let the master and slave Lanc devices transparently communicate thought the xbees?
Lanc works as an Master and slave synchronous communication. The master (video camera) sends 8 start bits, and in bytes 0-3 the slave (camera controller) sends 8 bit commands to the master (video camera), then in 4-7 the master (video camera) sends back info to the slave (camera controller). It does all of this on on a single wire.

I'm hoping I might be able to bypass wishing a micro controller to keep the project simple.
Thanks for any input or ideas!
