PTZ Optics Camera Controller and scene switcher for OBS Studio

Hello, My name is Colin.

I'm a software developer who specializes in Python development. Below you will see a few pinned repositories, these are my favourite projects I've worked on and are good examples of the code I am capable of writing.

Projects I am working on/maintain

• mark2 (maintainer) - Minecraft server wrapper written in Python 3 using Twisted

Favourite Project

My favourite project is my discord moderation bot that uses class loading to allow a user to make the bot their own. Simply adding scripts to a folder with some command or event handler classes allows the user to add to the bot without even restarting the program!

The event handlers are added to the main script using Python "reflection" and some clever techniques that enable my code to be an order of magnitude smaller compared to implementing each event function. It takes some info provided by the handler class and creates a function in the bot using a template renamed on_<event>. Effectively ~40 lines of code can handle what could have been upwards of thousands of lines and is completely future-proof. When new events are added, I don't even need to write any new code to handle their addition.

ptzcamsync's Issues

Camera stops responding after long idle period

I believe the sockets close after sitting idle for too long without sending data

Potential fixes:

• Add logic to reconnect before sending messages to the camera
• Add a keep-alive thread to send query commands periodically to ensure it stays connected
