MightyMouse 0 #1 June 1, 2005 I'm looking for an indicator LED / circuit that'll let me plug into the LANC socket on my Sony PC108 to indicate when the camera's in standby and when it's recording - sort of like Cameye but without the control switch. If anyone knows of a supplier or has a circuit that's tried and tested I'd really appreciate it. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmidgley 0 #2 June 1, 2005 Apologies if you already knew the following - The LANC socket is doing much cleverer stuff than just switching - there's a whole library of commands that can be issued and responses that can be read, using a serial protocol. To do anything at all with it requires a microcontroller programmed to 'know' the LANC protocol. Google for 'PIC' and 'LANC' to get the idea - there is some code out there if you have the means to program a PIC microcontroller. If you *really* just want a kind of remote tally light, there was a thread about this in the photography forum recently. Regards John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
