Line 59: Line 110:
 Power supply and remote reset for up to eight digital cameras are realized by the in-house developed Camera Power Supply controller CPS8. The CPS8 is based on an Arduino single-board microcontroller and controlled via Ethernet. By sending simple ASCII commands the controlling FESA class sets the power of any attached camera. It can also obtain the power status of each connected camera. In addition, the CPS8 distributes hardware triggers to the cameras either from an external input or self-generated. Power supply and remote reset for up to eight digital cameras are realized by the in-house developed Camera Power Supply controller CPS8.
