picamctrl's Introduction

picamctrl

A project created so that I can control an RS485 camera using PELCO-D protocol from my Raspberry pi.

What you'll need

A Raspberry Pi (old as you like, as long as it has a 40 pin GPIO)
An RS485 HAT. I spent a whole £12 on this: https://thepihut.com/products/rs485-pizero by AB Electronics
Python3 (should be there already)
pip (apt install python3-pip)
pyserial (pip3 install pyserial)
flask (pip3 install flask)
flask_SQLAlchemy (pip3 install flask_sqlalchemy)

How to install

clone this repository
connect the RS485 cable to the port on the HAT
run python3 run.py
go to a browser http://:5000

It's a bit of a mess

Still loads of comments
Touch and mouse both work though
