I’m quite interested in experimental photography and the interest has increased since I got my digital camera last year. One thing I really like is that it’s so easy to take images in dark situations. Though one problem is that I do not have a remote control for the camera so some images gets blurry due to motion. Canon does not have a remote control either so what to do? Build one yourself of course! It can not be that hard since you can take images with the camera from the computer once you have connected it, but I dont want to bring a PC every time. So I started looking on the net to see if someone else had done this already. I could not find any.
Though I found this document: Canon PowerShot Series Transfer Protocol Specifications Friday, August 8, 2003 which will most likely be really useful. The next problem is to find a really small and cheap CPU, like the PICs from MicroChip, nut that can be a USB host. Any tips are most welcome..
This project has just started….
