I have a Telemaster PLUS Ive built for aerial observation and general loitering above a target. Ive maidened the plane and have the autopilot/OSD installed. Im planning on using a ball turret gimbal that is designed for the sony block camera (sony fcb-ix11a or similar) and as Im learning more about these cameras, which seem to be the standard for UAV ops in civil and military applications, Im having questions about camera control.
Pan/tilt will be through a separate transmitter and 2-axis stabilization through a picloc 3x Pro, but what about camera zoom? I know the block camera utilizes the Visca rs-232 interface through the TTL serial port on the camera, so is it possible to control it through the outputs of an rc receiver?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
