Well guys , it actually works . I got the Samsung SCB2000 setting controls working with my UNO32 (an Arduino platform ) micro processor . Now I can control the Samsung SCB2000 settings with my PC  I got the idea ( and nerve ) From This Post ...
Here is a link to a You Tube Video showing it in action .
The cool thing is that the UNO32 can be made to work wireless with Blue Tooth ...... AWSUM Ill post some pics of the wiring as well as the MPIDE sketches .

Wiring 2 ( ground ) I also used HOT GLUE to help hold the tiny wires in place .

MPIDE sketch ....
.... I need to test this sketch , not sure how the Serial Monitor will handle this ... Im actually making my calls to the UNO32 through my software app.
I will test it and come back and make any changes needed.
// SAMSUNG SCB 2000 Settings control
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///// Using the Serial Monitor...
///// Type in a number between these 2 signs ~ /
///// You can change what the numbers do by how you have the wiring hooked up to your controler.
///// So as an example ....
///// ~1/ SCB center button
///// ~2/ SCB up button
///// ~3/ SCB down button
///// ~4/ SCB left button
///// ~5/ SCB right button
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////// I Hope I didn't make this to confussing .

// Make all pins OUTPUT

Thanks
Of course no project is complet till its been enclosed into one of those black project boxes .... used a CAT5 plug to plug it in , also an analog hand controller could be used or the buttons on the back , the micro processor was just another way of controling it .

Wish I could have found a smaller box ... this was all they had in stock .
Also Nice work there Dragon Man ... when I saw your post I was hoping the internals of the SCB2000 were going to be the same .... Nope . I put the project off till I saw the other post ( listed above ) .
The wiring is the same for both cameras I believe , just a different way of conecting to it .

spectacular, will that thing work on a mac
I'm still plugging away on my own modifications and would love to include this wireless control of the setting key pad, I found a slightly different system that I think will work but, haven't tried it yet.
I'm waiting for an eye-fi and a usb interface so I can send the image wireless, but the key pad controls, well, you did a great job figuring that out. Thanks.
Cheers
Dan

Nice! I like your wiring job, neat and precise, I work with mil spec wiring so cable routing and dressing are important! Good work, would love to do this with my camera, one day I will.

Thanks zoomster , Im a musican ( guitar player ) and I also wire my own tube amps .. lot different than this though ... 3.5 vdc as to 600 vdc lol
Boston I think the Pic32 will work with mac .. the IDE that you wright the EPROM with I believe is cross platform compatible ... and the Pic32 only responds to what you tell it to ... so if your MAC has USB .. it should work .
And by the way the Camera is still working great with the Pic32 ... was just out with it the other night ..
Priceless to have it so you can make setting changes while viewing on the PC with out having to touch the Camera or scope .

Gary,
The security cams (and the Stellarcam and Mallincam video cameras) use a C mount connection. For one of these security cameras all you'll need is a 1.25" to C mount adapter and the camera will fit wherever you insert a 1.25" eyepiece (diagonal, visual back, flip mirror, etc.).
These adapters are usually available around $20 - $30 from a variety of sources. You can also thread filters and focal reducers onto the front of these adapters.
