Re: [Info] NX Mount Protocol Summary

Being a software engineer, this topic caught my curiosity towards how far I could get with continuing reverse engineering the NX lens mount protocol. Being only a basic amateur at electrical engineering, the many posts around your findings were VERY helpful, from pin out description and identified patterns in the protocol. Of course, having to relay on Google translate didn't help

I have only started a few weeks ago, taking a little bit of time out from my weekends. Mostly capturing data from a used NX1000 and damaged but functional NX lens, but also occasionally staring at the data passed back and forth from the camera and lens.

My intentions is first to control the lens aperture (without camera body). After that, emulate a lens to the camera body (without physical lens attached). Then finally get to the real goal, translate the Samsung NX aperture control to Canon EF aperture control. I really don't know if I'll be able to make it that far but even if I don't, I wanted to share my findings as I progressed.

At the moment, I just have everything in text files and Saleae Logic data captures/exports, which can be viewed at http://1drv.ms/1MDK2qo Enjoy.

If/when I reach any major milestones, I'll be sure to update my progress here.
