The protocol deduced, so far. A break, will reset the protocol, baud rate set to 115200. Commands are acknowledge by a 21 ( all transmitted data in this description is given as bytes of two hex digits) The commands seen so far, in order of discovery. All work so far has been done with high res images, 640 x 480. 69 // set baud rate // 1 = 9600 // 2 = 14400 // 3 = 19200 // 4 = 38400 // 5 = 57600 // 6 = ?? // 7 = 115200 05 // ASCII ENQ no response 41 54 0d // "AT\r" no response 55 // get status, the response to this command // is two bytes, the lsb of which is the // number of images in the camera, unless // that number can exceed 255, it is not // clear what the second byte is. 61 00 // download thumbnail (first image is 0 thes // image number (starts at zero) the // second byte could be the msb of the image // number, if more than 256 images are // possible. The response is 3844 bytes. // The first three bytes are the same as the // response to the 71 command and are // assumed to have something to do with the // image. Bit 7 of the third byte indicates // the image mode, set = std, clear = fine. // (this is the current working hypothesis) // This is followed by 3840 bytes // (64*60) and a byte that is assumed to be // a error detection byte. 71 00 // 71 and 59 are used to download full // images, the response to 71, is three // bytes. These three bytes, are the same // as the first three bytes of the // thumbnail. The ack of the 59 command has // been seen to take more than 10 seconds. // This would indicate that the 71 command // might be some sort of enquiry command and // the 59 command prepares the camera to // download and image (retrieve image from // flash ?) // bit 7 of the third byte of the response // is set for a standard mode image (320x240), // clear for a fine mode image (640x480) 49 1e 00 04 00 a0 00 80 00 00 // the 49 command requests the downloading // of image data. The first two argument // bytes specify the line to start sending, // the ninth byte specifies the number of // lines to send. Each line is 640 bytes, // all work so far has been 640 x 480. The // result to this command is 20481 bytes. // It is assumed that the last byte is an // error detection byte of some sort. The // image bytes work quite well as grey // scale, it is not clear how color is // encoded. // This command will download fine mode // image, for a std mode image, byte 3 is // 1A, byte 7 is 50, as opposed to 1E and A0 21 80 03 00 fb // send real-time image? The response is // 6148 bytes, the TWAIN driver displays // this much larger than the thumbnail. // but tacking a pgm header makes this work // as a greyscale. The exposure control // controls how bright the picture is. the // higher the number, the brighter the // picture. Commands seen but not investigated 35 // the response is 4 bytes 00 10 02 11 5d // the response is 49 bytes, response seems // include Flash memory size. 6d // the response is 5 bytes 2d 65 66 // no response ( take picture? ) The following sequnece is used to down load a full fine mode image, after the baud rate is set. 41 54 0d 05 55 71 59 49 1E 00 04 00 A0 00 01 80 00 00
