Desktop Controller and Display for Cable Camera

 
This project is a cable camera controller that interfaces with the motor drive system and hand joystick to regulate the speed and set limits of travel of the camera.  It monitors camera position by way of an optical rotary encoder and displays position, speed and limit warning.  Motor control is by PWM or analog voltage level depending on system in use.  The processor is a TI MCU and the display is a TFT touchscreen from 4D Systems.
