This is another excellent project which uses USB Host Shield and digital camera control library. Manishi Barosee created Bluetooth interface between Canon EOS camera and Android phone. Current revision of the code allows for manual control of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, focus, LiveView, and of course, capture. Planned features include video mode control, rack focusing, as well as intervalometer/timer/HDR services.
Watch the video and if you’d like to build the circuit, visit Manishi’s blog to see what’s involved. I am very impressed with design of this controller and plan to build one myself to control my DSLRs. Also, please take a look at Arduino code – an easy to understand sketch, which can be modified for other camera systems without touching the Android part of the controller.
Good job, Manishi!
Oleg.
Great project! I was thinking about making my own, but now… xD
Thanks for the coverage, Oleg!
To everyone building this: Updates coming very soon..Stay tuned!
Hey! I just ordered that TTL Bluetooth interface through Dealextreme not to long ago! Can’t wait to try that with my EOS now! (well, as soon as it ships that is!)
