Hi,
I hope this is the right forum for my question but i really need some help.
I have a video camera with a remote control that connected through special cable.
i want to copy some command from the remote and write a software that send these commands to the camera, basically i want to control the camera with a software and without the remote.
i know how to write the software but i cannot figure out how to analyze the data.
the manual explains the cable pinouts:
1- CAM DATA (H)
2- CAM DATA (C)
3- CAM CONT (H)
4- CAM CONT (C)
however i managed to operate the remote with only 3 wires by connecting 1 and 3 together.
- i do not know any data about the connection, whether its 232, 422 or 485.
- i do not know the baud rate, stop bits etc.
- i know it can work with 3 wires
- i know it work even with 200m cable.
- the communication between the camera and remote is bi-directional
can anyone please tell me where to start and what are my chances?
Thanks a lot for any help.
