Reminds me of the z-cam e1, an old kickstarter 4k camera that now has a very nice grown up camera line. There's some lovely reverse engineering around the old e1, including some work talking to it's "sbus" peripheral port. https://github.com/imaginevision/Z-Camera-Doc/issues/27 Such a pity that so many systems all end up inventing their own things. Thankfully the z-cam e1 also had a pretty useful decent http / rest interface for a bunch of the basics too. It just seems like products would do so much better for themselves if they could exhibit & open their books. I remember seeing the jeep hacks (2015) and rather than being terrified and afraid, just being so so so sad there was such an incredible extensive easy to use well-known control system, for all the car, that would be so cool, but had been for-all-times inaccessible and now absolutely certainly with the scare coverage would definitely for sure be lost to us forever. | ||
