| <<BR>><<BR>><<BR>> = CamCtrl = The !CamCtrl is a control board for Sony cameras and camcorders. Supported are the protokol ''LANC'' and ''MULTI'' (depending on the model). '''How to know if you need ''LANC'' or ''MULTI'' ?''' Video cameras normally use the ''LANC'' protokol. This are some cameras who use it: * Sony HDR-PJ810, HDR-PJ780, HDR-PJ740, HDR-PJ650, HDR-CX350VE, HDR-CX410, HDR-CX730, HDR-CX760 Foto cameras normally use the ''MULTI'' protokol. This are some cameras who use it: * Sony A7, A6000, A5000, A5100 ... If you are not sure if your camera can use the !CamCtrl you can take a look at the spare parts for your camera (in the manual of your camera or on the Sony homepage). If you can use the original Sony remote control RM-VPR1 with your camera you can normally use the !CamCtrl ''MULTI''.<<BR>> (When in doubt, the !MikroKopter Support can also help ;-) ) == Features == Following functions are controlled (depending on the used camera): * Video recording start / stop * trigger fotos * Zoom (also with Foto cameras - if possible) * switch on the camera automatically (if the camera was in "Sleep-mode") * avoid Sleep-mode of the camera * analog video out over the 3-pol Molex plug<<BR>> (only if the camera have an analog video out - normally only with video cameras with ''LANC'' controlling possible) * Optional connection of an external status LED <<BR>><<BR>> If you use the !CamCtrl with I2C you can also see the current status via the telemetry - e.g. in the virtual display of the !KopterTool or on your Graupner HoTT transmitter. (see also [[#Sprung1|Telemetry displays]]).<<BR>> What you can see in the telemetry: * REC active * Zoom active * number of photo shots * Camera is off (e.g. battery is empty) * Camcorder is in Photo-Mode and can't capture Video * Cable to camera disconnected ## Bild rechts {{{#!html <div style="float: right; margin: 20px;"> }}} <<BR>> {{ http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/thumbs/intern/MK-Baugruppen/CamCtrl/CamCtrl-StatusLED.png?m=1452772797 }}<<BR>> {{{#!html </div> }}} == Status LED == On your !CamCtrl you find a green and a red LED.

Inhaltsverzeichnis
CamCtrl
The CamCtrl is a control board for Sony Foto- and Video cameras.
The following functions are possible:
- trigger fotos
- start recording
Zoom in/out (If supported by the camera)
Camera turns on automatically (when it was in sleep mode)
- Prevents the camera from entering sleep mode
analog Video signal via the 3-pol Molex plug
(only with "LANC" possible and when the used camera sends a video signal via the "multi plug)- Optional connection of an external status LED
Technical specifications
- Power 5V (via I2C or Servo connection)
- Dimensions 17,5 x 30mm
- Weight ~13g (I2C Version) ~15g (PPM Version)
- Cable length Multi cabel ~45cm
Connections
You can buy the CamCtrl as a "Servo" or "I2C" version.
You can connect the "Servo" version directly with e.g. a receiver.
The "I2C" version can be connected with a Molexkabel to a
FlightCtrl V3.0 or a NaviCtrl V2.1.
Protocol
Via a solder bridge on the CamCtrl we set the protocol.
Supported are the protocols:
MULTI
(used from e.g. Sony A7, A6000, A5000, A5100 and other Foto cameras)
or
LANC
(used from e.g. Sony HDR-PJ810, HDR-PJ780, HDR-PJ740, HDR-PJ650, HDR-CX350VE, HDR-CX410, HDR-CX730, HDR-CX760)
Video out
- The "LANC-Version" includes a Video out socket. Here you can connect directly e.g. a video transmitter.
INFO:
-> Only with the LANC protocol some cameras sends a video via this socket. With the "Multi" protocol it is not possible to get a video from the camera!!!
Status LED
Status message green LED:
OUT => No power on the CamCtrl
ON => CamCtrl is powered on and can be used
Status message red LED:
OUT
=> green LED is also off => no power on the CamCtrlfast flashing
=> no camera connected
=> Wrong protocol for the connected camera (LANC <-> MULTI)
=> Camera is not supportedslow flashing => Camera is detected and camera is "ON"
ON with short break => Recording is active
Connect an external LED
The optional external status LED indicates the same,
then the red LED on the CamCtrl.
Telemetry
The "I2C" version sends the status via the Telemetrie.
(via e.g. MK-Telemetry with Graupner HoTT transmitter or with the KopterTool)
The ads are:
- c = camera is ready
- R = REC aktiv
- P = Video camera is in Photo mode (LANC Camcorders)
- ! = Camera is off, but connected
- ? = No camera connected
- 0-9 = number of recordet pictures
- Zoom is active
Settings
Step 1 - Set transmitter
To use the CamCtrl you need 2 free channels on your transmitter:
Channel 1 => Function Trigger and REC
For this function please use a 3-way switch on your transmitter.
So you switch the function => OFF / Trigger / REC
Channel 2 => Function Zoom
For this function please use a potentiometer on your transmitter.
The center position of the potentiometer is then "rest position" = no zoom. Move the potentiometer to the left/right to zoom in / out. Center the potentiometer again to stop the zooming.
Step 2 - Connect the CamCtrl with:
Receiver
The version CamCtrl "Servo" can be connected directly with a receiver.
Connect the 2 servo plugs of the CamCtrl with the sockets of the receiver where the 2 set channels are.
I2C
The version CamCtrl "I2C" can be connected directly with the I2C connection of the FlightCtrl V3.0 or NaviCtrl V2.1 .
With this connection you can also see the status of the CamCtrl via the telemetry.
Here you have to set the 2 used channels via the KopterTool.
If you use e.g. channel 11 and 12 on your transmitter you can set this channels in the settings under "CamCtrl" (see right picture).
Servo OUT FlightCtrl
The version CamCtrl "Servo" can also be connected with the "servo out" of the "FlightCtrl".
Connect the 2 servo plugs of the CamCtrl with the servo out 3+4 of your "FlightCtrl".
The 2 used channels have to be set via the KopterTool.
If you use e.g. channel 11 and 12 on your transmitter you can set this channels in the settings under "Camera". And here under "Servo 3" and "Servo 4". (see right picture).
How to use
Via the 3-way switch you use the function "Trigger" and "REC".
The positions of the 3-way switch are: OFF / Trigger / REC
trigger a picture
- Move the 3-way switch from position "OFF" to center.
CamCtrl "I2C" -> The camera will trigger one picture.
(For more pictures - switch again from "OFF" to center)CamCtrl "Servo" -> The camera will trigger one picture.
(If the switch stay in the center position the camera will trigger all ~3 seconds a new picture)
Start Video REC
- Move the 3-way switch from "OFF" position to the end position.
CamCtrl "I2C" -> REC is ON.
(Back to the position "OFF" position will stop the recording)CamCtrl "Servo" -> REC is ON.
(Back to the position "OFF" position will stop the recording)
Expert function for "I2C" version
If you use the CamCtrl with I2C on your MikroKopter, you can use a special function.
For this special function we need a new free channel on your transmitter. And this free channel must be set to a push button.
Set this channel in the KopterTool under Outputs under "Out1 Timing". In our example we use channel 10.
When you place the 3-way switch from "OFF" to center the camera trigger one picture. <<BR> If the switch stay in center position you can use now the push button to trigger more pictures.
Waypoint flight
With the CamCtrl "I2C" or "Servo" you can also trigger automatically during a waypoint flight.
INFO:
During a waypoint flight we have to activate the "Waypoint-Automatic" to trigger automatically.
We can activate this automatic with a centered channel who is set under "Out1 Timing".
Setting for
CamCtrl "I2C"
- The channel of the potentiometer is set under "Zoom Channel"
The channel of the 3-way switch is set under "Mode Channel and "Out1 Timing"
- When you now center the 3-way switch during a waypoint flight, the "Waypoint-Automatic" is active
CamCtrl "I2C" + "Expert function for "I2C" version"
- The channel of the potentiometer is set under "Zoom Channel"
- The channel of the 3-way switch is set under "Mode Channel"
- The channel of the push button is set under "Out1 Timing"
Change on your transmitter the channel of the push button to center (when not in use) that
the "Waypoint-Automatic" is all time ON
Help to change this channel: Waypoint Automatic
CamCtrl "Servo"
The CamCtrl is connected with the Servo OUT 3+4 of your FlightCtrl (Link)
- The channel of the 3-way switch is set under "Servo 3"
- The channel of the potentiometer is set under "Servo 4"
Beside "Servo 3" set a hook under "->Out1". Also set for "on" a 127 and for "off" a 0
The channel of the 3-way switch is also set under "Out1 Timing"
- When you now center the 3-way switch during a waypoint flight, the "Waypoint-Automatic" is active
TIP
With this setting the triggering is only possible during a waypoint flight! You can save this setting e.g. under "Parameterset 5".
Then you can switch the setting (parameterset) outside via your transmitter into the setting you need.
