Titla nucleus nano control with MAX 8 ?
Hi there,
As the title says, i am trying to work on a solution to control the focus motor of tilta nucleus nano from MAX 8. I am working on a show with cameras and i would like to integrate the focus changes from the run and GO of my stage controler, wich is a PC. I am using resolume to run videos and send OSC command to MAX for DMX video shutter control. I wish i could do the same for focus control.
All i know is that the tilta handle unit send UART 115200 in 2.4GHz to the motor, over 10 different channels, for multi motors purpose ( i use 2 motors and 2 handles ).

The handle can be connected to PC via USB but is not recognised.
It can be access via bluetooth but via special smarphone app.
So the question is can i send commands from MAX with some USB 2.4GHz emitter directly to the motor please ?
I guess i would be hard to get it working but it worth asking.
Thank you.
Looks like some serious retro-ingeneering work!
Before asking if you can "send commands from MAX with some USB 2.4GHz emitter directly to the motor", you might wonder beforehand if it is ever possible to control the device at all without using their proprietary hardware or app.
Reading the blackmagic forum thread, it seems that this LuigiPucini succeeded do so through bluetooth (not wifi) using an ESP32, but they didn't provided any source code or binary, and they don't seem to want to share it.
If I was you, I would start from this post and see what you can do from here.
I manage to obtain documents from TILTA about their MDR protocol. I cannot share it here since it is restricted by a non disclosure agreement. Basicaly it describes more deeply what is said in the links i shared. After that, if it is possible at all is indeed the most important point.
Maybe starting with some king a "listenner" which would gave me what gets out from the handle unit ?
I could share some infos and documents by private message if there is any body well informed about this kind of work.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers !
Hello Christophe, I also started working with the tilta protocol. Can you contact me somehow?
