1 Project Overview

This application, and when released the associated hardware, is designed to be a comprehensive remote control unit for the AXIOM range of cameras - currently this is targeted at the Beta model.

The remote control software is made up of two separate components – the RemotePlus application which is designed to run on a purpose-designed, embedded (Raspberry Pi based), Linux hardware controller, but is also runnable on a Linux desktop/laptop for the purposes of development.

To control the AXIOM camera a RemoteServer application is also required. Connectivity is over the USB UART interface between the AXIOM camera and the host – be it the hardware remote or a Linux desktop/laptop.

As with all software & hardware that is pre-production the information contained on this page is subject to changes.
