Proline-PTU 4+

The ProLine PanTilt App is a simple app which uses BLE to communicate with a ProLine PanTiltpp.

Once the App is launched it connects to the Proline’s BLE, and it shows connection via the green active indicator on the top right of the screen, where you see the red light (not yet connected) on the Screenshots. At this Point the Proline device is sending its position in degrees to the app.

The App interface is real simple, the top shows the status and the modes. The bottom has buttons to send instructions via BLE to the Proline device and control which camera it will use..

The App controls the device three ways.
For Video, Program in a location
Set the duration and tell the system to go, by pressing the START button
While the system is running it tells the App it updates the app
If we are using the iPhone camera the user records at this time

In timelapse mode the integrated intervalometer triggers the camera
Use the app to indicate how long between shots and how many shots.
After you press the START button:
The camera shoots a picture, then the device moves to the next position and repeats for each of the shots you requested.

Finally the third mode is realtime, where the App acts like a Joystick to position the device for a shot or for following the talent in real time.
