General Description

The Control L or LANC interface is an industry standard introduced by the Sony Corporation for controlling audio and video devices.

It uses a bit serial data format, and requires that the controller be synchronized to the controlled device – something which is difficult to do using standard serial interfaces.

The ELM624 is an 8 pin integrated circuit that performs the synchronizing function for you.

Key Features

  • typically found in commercial devices, such as RS232 handshaking, variable baud rates, extra buffering of signals, etc. have not been implemented. Responses are kept to a minimum as well (eg. a single question mark is returned for a misunderstood command), but the general principles of operation are demonstrated and for many.
