This project let's you create a small&cheap wireless PTZ Controller for various applications.
The code is currently for TRENDnetView EVO/Luxriot EVO, a central recording/viewing solution and their cameras (free but limited).
The PTZ-Cameras i tested it with are TRENDnet TV-IP420P and TV-IP440PI.
Since no special functions are used, it should work with almost every Luxriot EVO/TrendnetView Server.
In the initial release the camera IDs are hardcoded but should be queried from the Server in a future release. The camera IDs are queried from the Server and if the PTZ-capabilities are set, PTZ-commands are being sent.
The display shows some raw values aswell as calculated things, but kinda unsorted and is hard WIP.
The stick can be calibrated to give a good zero position with a dead zone and linear movement.
NVS is currently not in use but i intend to save the calibration/configuration or something similar to it.
Initialy i wanted to use a 1602 LCD Display which didn't fit into the case. So there was no intention (and i think it just won't work) to get the camera picture onto the TFT. This needs to be done on separate hardware!
I don't have access to the API Docs since they require a NDA.
The Webserver does some non-standard things and ignores "Connection: close" for example, for which i couldn't use the default HTTP client. This might come from the digest-auth needed.
Anonymous-PTZ won't work, you always need a valid user+password. You can grant PTZ-rights to Anonymous, but the Webserver endpoint still needs the valid credentials.
The PTZ-Stick can be read at 2000+ FPS but it is very sensitive to noise then.
An update rate to the server of up to 10 seems to be enough.
- Compatible to TrendnetView + Luxriot EVO
- OTA-Updateable
- Direct ESP to Server connection (no https by now)
- No setup except Wifi+Server credentials needed
- Many pins left for other extensions
- Could run on battery quite some time
- no additional parts are required, but a few resistors and caps are what you want.
- almost same small delay/update rate as the monitor application
