Control cameras using a joystick #23

Closed jamesremuscat closed 7 years ago

jamesremuscat commented 7 years ago

This PR adds the ability to use a connected joystick to control pan, tilt and zoom of cameras.

The joystick device should be specified with the -j or --joystick command-line option to avcontrol.py.

Default mappings from axis values to VISCA speeds are linear and can be overridden by providing map_pan, map_tilt and/or map_zoom functions to the CameraJoystickAdapter constructor. These functions should always return legal VISCA speed values (e.g 1 <= retval <= VISCA_MAX) even when zero pan or tilt is required. It's likely that we'll want to change the defaults to something nonlinear as the default functions make the joystick somewhat sensitive.

Closes #4. Relates to (and possibly obsoletes?) #20.
