Very nice project and ideas. I started a Intervalometer Gadget too. I am using an LCD (Now a 20x4 Backlighted but on the final gadget i will use a green 16x2 w/backlight). :) When finished and polished i will post the source code/scheme. :) I am polishing the UI and code. That's is the hardest part for me, the wiring and riging of the electronic parts was easy. UI is painful ! lol. It's all about to do ANY dumb people to use my gadget, so it has to be very clear using few letters (LCD is tiny). I am usint a POT as general encoder for all menu settings. The same pot adjust all the settings. This is nice but a bit hard to implement on the Code (for me). I am a 3D Animator, not a Coder. lol Here's a pic of my prototype : http://www.flickr.com/photos/msouza/4325255232/ hi there ! Very nice project and ideas. I started a Intervalometer Gadget too.

For yours, some suggestions would be to add a pb to just remote fire the camera, with or without a time delay. I have also obtained an inexpensive motion detector to trigger the remote.

Good thing I have some old Sony remotes-- my TiVo and Denon remotes produce only errors-- I got codes for every button! Nice clean code-- I am munging it with excellent results...:) BTW are you sure you're using 10K resistors for the LEDs and not 100s? With 10K, you wouldn't get much (if any) light.

Yes- the frequency and the signal timing are very important. It's really easy to mess it up and not have the camera fire. I do know that there are many similar projects out there for canon cameras. The frequency and signal will change for this to work on a canon, but it is very doable. Let me know if you get it working! Hey BC!

I'm in no rush, and not much of a coder either so I'll wait for your code. :) Thanks in advance. Hello.

For whatever reason wordpress is mangling the code. I will try to upload a zipped version of it this weekend. If you are in a rush, compare it to the source link that I put in the top of the code. It is 98% the same as the one I referenced. Hey MakeA!

Any help? Hello,
My Arduino program tells that there is something wrong with the code:
void snap(){
int i;
digitalWrite(PIN_STATUS, 1);
for(i=0;idigitalWrite(PIN_STATUS, 0);
}
Is it the “idigitalWrite” that’s wrong? Any help?
