Software Command Set

Set serial port to 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit

Position Pan Motor:

  A' followed by ASCII '0' to '127' followed by Position Tilt Motor: 'B' followed by ASCII '0' to '127' followed by <cr>

Examples:
  A1<cr>B1 points a camera up and fully counterclockwise (looking down on the pan axis), while A127<cr>B127 points the camera down and fully clockwise.

  A64<cr>B64 will approximately center the unit

  Set acceleration / deceleration: 'D' followed by ASCII '1', '2', or '3' (1 is fastest)

  Position zoom, focus and iris: 'C', followed by ASCII value ranging from '0' to '127'
