To apply for this task please complete one of those mandatory coding challenge together with your application: T872 or T883 Applications without matching coding challenge completed will not be considered. --- Control lens systems from various manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Sony) from the AXIOM Beta hardware. Implement the different protocols in a way that they can be utilized via AXIOM Beta userspace. **Goals:** - Establish communication with the Lens System - Retrieve Information about the Lens System (focal length, aperture range, focus distance etc) - Control the Lens System (Adjust aperture, focus, etc) - Create a generic lens control API that should abstract away the differences from different manufacturers. **Prerequisites:** - A test bench for interfacing the lens with a microcontroller - A working off the shelf camera/lens assembly to listen to lens communications **Required skills:** - Basic hardware skills - Embedded systems programming (e.g. Arduino or other microcontrollers) - 3D CAD? Some lens protocols were already reverse engineered; some good starting points: - https://nikonhacker.com/wiki/Lens_Serial_Interface - https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=18308 **Mentor:** Alex, Bertl To get in touch with any mentor check the [[ https://www.apertus.org/GSoC-2018-Mentor-Contact-List | Mentor Contact List]]. **Notes:** If you do not have access to the required hardware platforms/dev kits, we will provide them (or remote access) to you for the duration of the project.
