Format
The BBV Star Card command string uses
8 hexadecimal bytes; that is, each data byte is in
hexadecimal format. For example, Hex 06 and 12
represents decimal numbers 06 and 22
respectively.
Table 3 outlines the BBV Star Card format.
Table 3. BBV Star Card command string format
Byte 1 (BBV STX) – is always 0xB0
Byte 2 (Camera Address) - logical address of the
camera being controlled (Address 1 is 01)
Byte 3 & 4 (Command 1 & 2) – see Table 4
Byte 5 (Data 1) – pan speed, range from 00 (stop) to
0x40 (maximum speed)
Byte 6 (Data 2) – tilt speed, range from 00 (stop) to
0x3F (maximum speed)
Byte 7 (BBV ETX) – is always 0xBF
Byte 8 (Checksum) – sum of bytes (excluding the
synchronization byte), then mod 100 (Decimal code:
256)
Table 4. Calculate BBV star camera control
hexadecimal values for Bytes 3 & 4
Examples
1. For performing a pan left at maximum speed:
Pan Left(Byte4) : 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 = x04.
Pan Speed(Byte5): 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 = x40.
Command string is B0 00 04 00 04 40 00 BF
{check}
2. For performing a tilt up at medium speed:
Tilt Up(Byte4) : 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 = x08.
Tilt Speed(Byte6): 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 = x20.
