Hardware Required:

Custom PCB (ATmega328-based, programmed in Arduino IDE) with 2x16 LCD (HD44780). Parts are specified at "Parts.txt".

Libraries required:

LiquidCrystal - Arduino included library MemoryFree - http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/AvailableMemory EEPROM - Arduino included Library multiCameraIrControl - http://sebastian.setz.name/arduino/my-libraries/multi-camera-ir-control/

Features:

Can trigger a camera' focus & shutter, or two cameras (with combined focus & shutter), or two flashes via WIRED jack. kIt uses two (2) optocouplers (MOC3061 for up to 400V Peak). It can also trigger a camera (or something else?) via IR. Supported cameras: Olympus, Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Sony.

It has 6 buttons (Reset, Previous, Next, Enter, Back, Shoot) and a LCD display for interfacing.

Modes:

-> Light Trigger. It can be programmed to trigger on HIGH or LOW, using built-in light detector. -> Time Lapse (0-360 secs). -> External Trigger (for connecting (digital-output) sound/light/etc modules). -> Bulb mode. -> High Speed Burst Flash Triggering (1-100ms, for 1-50 times). -> Manual Shoot (bulb) mode. -> Setup Menu for storing default parameters (on EEPROM).
