vrpn_Analog_Radamec_SPI.C

// vrpn_Radamec_SPI.C
//	This is a driver for the Radamec Serial Position Interface
// "virtual set" camera tracking rig.  It plugs into a serial
// line and communicates using RS-232 (this is a raw-mode driver).
// You can find out more at www.radamec.com.  They have a manual with
// a section on the serial interface; this code is based on that and
// communications with the vendor and experimentation. It was written in
// August 2000 by Russ Taylor.

// INFO about how the device communicates:
//	Reports coming from the device have a 1-byte header that tells
// which of 7 possible commands is being sent (0xA0-0xA6). Each then has
// a 1-byte Camera ID, then other parameters specific to the type, then
// a CRC checksum.
//	Most of the report types can be sent to the instrument to set
// various parameters.  Report type 4 is mainly a command/query message,
// which the device echoes.

/** ------------------- Conversion of encoder indices to values ----------------
    Pan and tilt axis have an encoder index pulse which resets the value to
    7FFFF hex each time the head passes through 0 degrees, the centre of range
    of the head.  This is indicated by two red dots on the pan axis, which when
    aligned show the head is at 0 degrees.  Tilt 0 position is when the camera
    is horizontal.  There are 900 encoder counts per degree and the direction
    corresponding to an increase in count depends on the mechanical orientation
    of the head and camera but is configurable using the configuration block
    anyway.

    Zoom and focus return an encoder count corresponding to the barrel
    rotation of the lens.  You will have to calibrate this to give a value for
    field of view for the virtual set.  This is not an easy task as lens
    characteristics are non-linear.  All virtual studio system suppliers have
    varying methods of doing lens calibration, including our own proprietary
    method used for Radamec Virtual Scenario.
