I want to build a cable release controllable by a Palm Pilot. This would have obvious benefits for night photography, self-portraiture, accurate short exposures, and not jostling the camera.
Obviously, this will require hardware and software components. I can write the software, and while I could eventually get the hardware working--it seems that the design should be pretty simple, essentially a solenoid hooked up to USB (I'm hoping this won't require a PIC)--someone with more electrical engineering experience than myself could get it done faster and cheaper.
The plan is to open source both the software and the hardware design. I'm not looking to make money off of someone else's work, I'm looking to get a nice package together that everyone can use.
Anyone interested in designing the hardware interface?
