Visca Camera

I posted this question in another forum, but realized I would probably want to port this to .net if it was possible. So, does anyone know how to control a camera using VISCA/RS-232C Commands with VB or VB.Net

You can use serial communcation with VB.Net through API calls. There's an
implementation of that here, with a wrapper class to simplify things:
http://www.codeworks.it/net/VBNetRs232.htm

Also,
http://groups.google.com/groups?&q=%...ublic.dotnet.*

There are also various third-party components that can facillitate serial
communications. Try this search:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22s...%22vb%2Enet%22

However, you'd probably have to write the VISCA-specific implementation
yourself.

I am doing some robotics projects but my main area of interest is trying out several algorithms for the processing of the stream of data coming from the video. I am wondering what type of camera I should invest in. Either I could buy a web cam and hope I can find a driver I could either modify or use. i.e. every frame is somehow stored on the computer automagically or I could buy a camera not unlike the AVRcam...

I have this Pentax Optio camera and I want to access it via vb.net. I would like to write something where I can snap the picture from the application and it automatically acquires the image from the camera and displays it. I found a couple sample apps out there. One is a WIA app but it does not see my camera. One is a TWAIN application and it also does not see my camera. I do not see any drivers on Pentax's site that talk about WIA or...

Hi I have a camera that mounts as a folder when I plug it in and is available in explorer. I thought it would be possible to access the images on the camera using normal file operations but I cant seem to get it to work. I think the problem is the path I am using. In explorer, the folder is just 'camera name', not a drive letter or whatever. I have tried the old trick of dragging an image from the camera folder onto the

Hi guys and girls. I can't seem to figure this one out. Here is my setup: Speedtouch 536 DSL Modem, Nexxt 4 Port Wireless Router, CNET CIC 920W Wireless IP Camera.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
