For connection to a processor (Yun, Teensy, Uno, etc…) the long button presses to get this thing on/ off / standby is a bit onerous. And monitoring the LED status pin to see what mode it is in is also painful since it can be blinking and you would have to monitor it for a period of time and decode it to tell what is really going on. Ug!…Has anyone implemented an interface library that is non-blocking to handle such tasks? I just hate to re-invent the wheel. Thanks!
I'm not talking about changing their code/infrastructure/firmware..
I'm talking about using an Arduino (yun, in my case) to monitor the LED output, and acting as a switch contact closure (via a FET, BTW) to Turn On, Turn Off, Snap pictures, and monitor the LED to determine what is happening in the HackHD camera module.
I'm hoping someone has developed a library that can be timer/interrupt-driven to monitor the LED's various blinks, steady-state(s), and even dim-ness, to present a clear state to an Arduino app trying to control it...
None of this requires any interaction with closed-source software.
Still hoping someone will respond who has this all well-understood and coded-up into a library.
