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

[Jason Bell]

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
