iPod controlling a camera using an Arduino (incl. intervalometer)

[bymacorg]

cool. but not very practical :S

if your camera has infrared. you can use this intervalometer: tempus.bymac.org

If there is no infrared input on your camera, you can use this wireless intervalometer: tempusALL.bymac.org

Was any technology left out?

Great work ! Nice video ! Which camera is it ?

@narpat007 I think I was using my old Canon 20D, but the circuit controlling the shutter and 1/2-shutter press (to cause focus) I believe applies to any Canon camera. There is a difference in which plug is used (the audio-style TRS plug on the lower end bodies or the square plug on the higher end bodies). Here is a nice writeup on that interface: openmoco.org/node/88

@geekionzado,

To view the iPod code:

1. Go to my webpage (link is at the start of the video).

2. Click on "Here is the current GUI".

3. Right-click on that GUI, then "View Page Source".

4. Look at the button tags and their onclick attribute.

To blink an LED, you could do something similar but then invoke Arduino's "Hello World" app on the server.

What software did you use in your iPod to control the arduino wifi shield?

How can I do a simple software like this to blink some LED?

Thanks!
