Cameroid
Arduino camera control and automatization

About
-----
This Arduino sketch controls a Panasonic Hmc151 through the TRS jack. Currently
it only will work for the zoom and to start & stop records. Since the Cam
itself lacks of a time-lapse function, I added a feature which allows you to
automatically record short clips, from witch you can extract the images to
create time-lapse clips. You can watch short example here:

All parameter are configurable through Serial SLIP OSC, which means, you can
connect the arduino to your computer and cantrol the cameroid through my
processing test client, or you could connect a second arduino to the cameroid
arduino and send Serial SLIP OSC messages to control it. Therefore you could
even control it wirelessly using xbee.
I'll try to release more client examples in the future.
Features
--------
Currently (for the Panasonic HMC151 only)
* Control the Zoom
* Start or stop records.
* Start and stop configurable time-lapse records.
* Save time-lapse configuration to the EEPROM.
Planned:
* Dolly control using this DIY Slider:
http://www.pocketslider.de/DIY_slider_en.html
* Focus and Iris control throught the second TRS jack.
* Learn movement functionality
Requirements
-------------
Hardware:
* Arduino (code is currently optimized for UNO)
* An Xiroc X9C503 50k digital Potentiometer
* An MC14016 Quad digital switch/multiplexer
Software:
* My Serial SLIP OSC class (https://github.com/sepal/Arduino-Serial-SLIP-OSC)
