This may be useful to some of you out there.
This object will handle interacting with a LANC device, such as a video camera.
I was amazed at how easily the code came together, only using SPIN, not needing to drop into assembler. (There are implementations for PIC, using PIC assembler, hardware solutions from ELM, and an SDK from the UK for LANC.)
If you would like more information on LANC commands and status look at http://www.boehmel.de/lanc.htm. This document gives an over view of the wiring needed. (The mini jack is 2.5mm ( used for mobile phone headsets....) not 3.5mm. Use this at your own risk - I'm not responsible for you blowing up your camera
(Should really use some resistors inline to protect chip & camera - but does work without them.)
I've tested with Sony VX2000/VX2100 cameras.
This is a great example of the power of the propeller. If you need more information please contact me.
