DSLR Controller for Gigapan Robot

This is a small board I built to control the meter, mirror lock up, and shutter controls on a Nikon D200 DSLR. At some point, I plan on trying to use my D200 with the gigapan robot and this board will give me a way to control the D200 when the robot asks to take a picture.

I have Gigapan and would like to purchase a remote from you. Or do you only supply the cct diagram?

[ktmglen]

I only supply the schematics and source code.

hey do you plan to market those? I would buy one but first I would like to get my hands on a gigapan. where can I buy it from?

[ktmglen]

I don't plan on selling these controller boards. Google gigapan systems. You can get a gigapan there now.

How sorry about the delay. I was a beta tester for the project. Now waiting for the DSLR version which won't be available until late this year.

Idea already disclosed publicly therefore can't patent. I'd look for electronics classes at a local community college. Check out Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar, Nuts and Volts, and Make magazine too.

Thanks. I'm trying to think of the next cool project to build.

Logitech sold me a terrible microphone.

ktmglen,

Immediately patent this idea and offer them on the internet. Make plans for production. Same with the next idea. Maybe not the next one after that, but you get the idea.

Where can I learn this kind of electronics quickly? I dont have time for 4 year school right now. Please message me with some instruction.
