[AG-TECH] Linux control of Canon VC-C4 movable camera?

[Jason Bell]

G'day All

I have managed to contact one of the developers and have placed the code at http://www.accessgrid.org/project/agdevicecontrol

Simply go to the AG projects pages and select AG device Control!

Unfortunately, the current documentation is quite limited, but will endeavour to update the project webpage with additional information when it becomes available.

Please note that the code was originally developed for AGTK 2 at the time, therefore it will most likely require some changes to get it to work for AG 3.

I remember using this package a number of years ago and thought it was quite good, thus I would gladly see someone take over the project and update it!

Cheers,
Jason.

G'day Miquel, Andrew and all

I have written to one of the other developers of the software to see if they have a copy of it still.

If I am able to get the software, I will (with permission) add it to the projects section (http://www.accessgrid.org/projects).

Cheers,
Jason.

Hello,

At the moment i'm also looking for some info about AGDeviceControl but as you point 'agcentral.org' is dead.
I found an url for the mail-list subscription http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/agdevicecontrol, waiting for my subscription to be approved and check if there is something going on. 
Looking around in google found this another URL http://hpc.isti.cnr.it/accessgrid/software/AccessGrid/Tools/DeviceControl/
, where you can get the software, only installed the windows version but i don't know how to get it to work, it installed something in 'C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\agdevicecontrol' but that's all, doesn't show anything in my Venue Client (3.1).

Cheers,
Miguel
