I'm playing with a little hobby project I know this has been done but this is way over my head BUT you only learn if you try.
useing a PIC to talk to a sony video cam though the LanC port on the camera to turn it on and start and stop recording.
any and all help or ideals welcome
thanks grounded
maybe this should help to start
http://www.boehmel.de/lanc.htm
and how about using ELM624 chip in between?
http://www.elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM624DS.pdf
or use an ASM code...

Man your fast
I read over that stuff last week pretty scarey and Like I said over my head
I will reread and try to learn
thanks
in the first link
once you understand it an can shift out one bit after the other... it's not going to be really hard!Quote:
The master generates the telegram frame, creating 8 startbits, followed each by 8 bits (1 byte) and a (long) stopbit. Then everything starts again. One bit has a duration of 104µs.
The distance between two startbits can vary between 1200µs and 1400µs depending on the device.
The distance between two telegrams is 20ms for PAL/625 and 16.6ms for NTSC/525.
Code:For BitN=0 to 7
SerPin=ValueToSend.0[BitN]
pauseus 104
next
thanks again
I'm reading studying and I figure I'm about a year away from being able to do this. LOL
Bah, don't give up. If i had a Sony Cam here, i would try.. unfortunately, i don't have any.
Anyways, good luck!
Well after over a year I'm back on this little hobby project.
and I think for my 1st attempt I will try one of the things mister e offered
the elm624 interface chip which I believe is based on a p12c5xx
http://www.elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM624DS.pdf
because of the whole final project I would i would like to use a 16f676 to communcate
to the elm624, which can be communicated with a PC using rs232. would I need to use serin/serout
for this? any other helpful hint?
remember I only program for a hobby not everyday for a living so I ask dumb ?'s
bare with me
thanks

Not knowing the elm chip...
The hardware serial (HSERIN/HSEROUT) might be better, it can run in the background(interrupt). Then you can do other things in the mean time.
thanks mackrackit
maybe a little more infor on the total project . this is my 1st. communication project.
the lanc commutication is the meat but just a small part of the total code.
yes were talking Ok LED
AND
with a input (rising edge interrupt) 103A is sent to start recording and after xx time
1030 is sent to stop recording.
thanks for all help
Well After 2 years of on and off this project it is up and running!
I did use the elm624 interface chip between the 16f676 and the Sony recorder
why:
because most of what I found on the internet was in assembly and from all
that I read and was told along with the little tested I did the tight timing
tolerance of the Lanc protocal Pic Basic pro would not work.
and yes I did find snippets of code written in basic and proton but no one could tell me that it actually worked for them.
Now if anybody Has communicated with the lanc buss using PBP I'M ALL EARS
talk to me. because I would love to do this with out the Elm!
The attached Code is just the basic of my finish project with out the bells
and whistles which will be added in the final phase.
This code has been tested and does work.BUT
remember I'm just a hobbiest so it is not written like a pro
but I a'm open to any advice that anyone would offer.
Code:
