I think this is a fitting way to start my new blog. I found source code to do LANC control with the Arduino board. It was written quite well – it worked the first time out. I made a few changes though, specifically changing it from being controlled by a serial port to being controlled by a potentiometer. I plan to build my own zoom controller with it, using an Arduino Mini.
Here’s the source code.
UPDATE:
It appears that Brady Marks’ FTP has gone down, so I’ve mirrored her Arduino LANC project ZIP file here. Make Blog has linked this post, so there may be a lot of traffic. It’s only fair that I share the load.
Here’s the link:
