worked with a VISCA cam a few years ago. It just uses 9600 baud RS232 serial, so [comport] can handle it. The harder part is parsing incoming messages.
Good to know it is possible. What incoming messages need to be handled?
I was thinking that Pd would just send messages to move the cam around and not really need to know if the they are successful or not.
You don't need to listen to it unless you want to know what state it is in before you start, and when it's completed the commands you sent. If you just send it a reset at the beginning and allow enough time for the commands to execute, it should be OK.
