Camera control using RS-485 protocol

Hi, I ask for help. There is a task: to create control of three cameras from one console using the RS-485 protocol via the COM port of the PC. I can not write a patch to send a control signal through the “serial” node. Who knows help with the patch.

You’ll want to use a Serial DAT to connect to a COM port.
docs.derivative.ca/SerialDAT_Class

This will receive data.

You can use the .send() and .sendBytes() methods on that DAT to send your commands.

This example works in the other direction: device → TouchDesigner.

docs.derivative.ca/Arduino

But hopefully gives you some ideas.

You’ll also have to know the exact protocol your camera device is using.

Cheers,
Rob.
