Is Arduino due used to control optotune?

Excuse me, how is Arduino connected to optotune? (wiring instructions)

----I'm a rookie

This code if for a custom PCB. It can't be used with a regular Arduino.

如果是自定义PCB，则使用此代码。它不能与常规Arduino一起使用 Is custom PCB a self-made development board?

Do you have a circuit diagram?

Custom PCB directly connected with zoom lens? Or is it connected to the driver of the zoom lens?

There is a circuit diagram and it replaces the driver sold by Optotune: lens_driver_schematic.pdf

But this was designed for a very specific experiment in mind and it is probably overkill for a regular use. It ends up being more expensive than the usb driver sold with the lens.

有一个电路图，它代替了Optotune出售的驱动器： lens_driver_schematic.pdf

但这是针对特定实验而设计的，对于常规使用而言可能会过分杀伤力。最终，它比随镜头出售的USB驱动器贵。

Where are you from? Do you still have this in stock? Can I buy it?

Where do you use this project?

This is a student project at the university of cambridge (more details on the driver can be found in this report section 3.3 and appendix D). The board was made by the lab electrician and he can't sell them.

If you're still interested, I can ask him if he agrees to share the board design and any external company can probably make the board for you, at a price (>$500).

Also keep in mind that I don't provide support for this and there is no guarantee that the code and circuit are bug free or easy to use.

imho the drivers sold by optotune are a cheaper and more reliable option for common use.
