      Hello!

      I am wondering if it is possible to have some sort of communication or control of a USB camera through a Duet 2 board. Specifically, I need the camera to take photos at specific times. I believe I can initiate a specific output for that, but I haven't been able to figure out if there is a way to communicate with the camera to take photos automatically.

      Its a nozzle camera just like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000182981338.html

      Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

        @Muhammed the camera has a button to take pictures. Duet can set an output pin high or low. I would expect you could disassemble the camera button, and wire the switch to an output pin on the Duet to trigger it. There doesn’t seem to be any way to communicate with or control the camera via USB.

          @droftarts Thanks a lot, I had this in mind but wanted to see if there are other way to go around this. Using any output on the 50 pin expansion header would be fine, right?
