I would like to create my own application to control the Pictomic 360 Product Photography Turntable.

...

How do I do it? (Assuming you are using a Pictomic Silver or Platinum Series Turntable.)

Build Your Turntable Application

Steps for building your application with our Turntable SDK.
In the SDK compressed file we added an IconasysTurntableTest.cpp file as an example of how to use the Turntable SDK.

Image Added

  1. Add to the C++ compiler "include" directories option these paths:

    1.  "include" dir from our zip package

    2.  "include/ShutterStream" dir from our zip package


  2. Add to the linker library search these paths:
    1.  "lib" dir from our zip package 

Install FTDI Turntable Drivers

Install the FTDI drivers. This is needed only if you don't have Visere Captura already running with the turntable. If Visere Captura already works, then the drivers are installed and you can skip this step.

Drivers are listed in the table below: 

Operating SystemUSB Drivers LinkNotes
Windowshttps://ftp.pictomic.com/test_TurntableSDK/Drivers/D2XX/CDM21228_Setup.exe
Machttps://ftp.pictomic.com/test_TurntableSDK/Drivers/D2XX/D2xxHelper_v2.0.0.pkg
Linux

If running on Linux then proceed as follows:

  1. After unzipping the turntable controller software, switch to the Iconasys Turntable Controller location.

  2. Run the command: sudo ./IconasysTurntableController (or you can add usb permission to standard user if

    sudo is not permitted)

  3. If you receive the message "Turntable not opened", the kernel automatically loaded another driver for the

    FTDI usb device, so you need to unload them as follows: a. sudo rmmod ftdi_sio
    b. sudo rmmod usbserial

No driver in Linux, just the steps listed.

Linux Notes

  1. For the Linux operating system we didn't develop any native UI support.
    Instead we use     Qt framework under LGPL license
    Hence our turntable SDK is linked with Qt library
  2. For building & linked your application with our turntable SDK, you need to download our Qt framework version used in Turntable SDK from this link:
    https://ftp.pictomic.com/Perforce/LIBS/Qt/Qt-5.11.3/lite/linux-gcc-7.3.0.zip
