Hi,

i'm starting a little project and that is to broadcast a web cam using java. my web cam will have 2 motors (vertical and horizontal movement).
i'm trying to learn and do as much by myself but maybe you could point me in the right direction?
right now i'm learning java, swing and using jbuilder to write the code.

thanks in advance!!
 
So what you are saying is that you want to remote control a camera from a compture and make it look around and capture things?
 
exactly, sorry for not being more specific.
i'm not sure what i'm getting into but i've learned at bit of java, have the stepper motors all hooked up to an old typewriter spool head on a machined base that swivels.
so basically, the hardware is done, i just need to program the software to control this little baby.
some key questions are
1 - how to control the stepper motors in java
2 - how to control the limit switches in java
3 - how to get my webcam into java

not sure what classes to use :(
yeah, i'm a noob at this and it sucks :(
