… homemade USB camera shutter release …

Canon did not include a remote trigger option in this camera, however there are many times when I have wanted one. Recently, though, the CHDK people figured out that you can use the USB port on the camera as a trigger. It’s a great hack- the camera already has hardware to detect when the camera connects to your PC, so they captured that event and made it scriptable. This works well for what I wanted to do, which is to take long exposure shots without disturbing the camera. A potential drawback to this method, however, is that the camera can take up to a second to respond to the trigger. This means it will not be useful for syncing captures to a fast event. There are two parts to this project, building the hardware and getting the CHDK program running on your camera. Some quick instructions are after the break.

The trigger, all put together



First, the hardware:

This is the schematic we want to achieve:

Schematic


You could build a box and put the components in it, however I found a light-up pen that has all the parts in it. It also occurs to me that something like a mintyboost would also work, if it has a switch to turn the power on and off. Here are the parts before disassembly:

Parts for the camera remote trigger


Once the hardware is done, the second part is to get the software set up. I first downloaded the ‘allbest’ build of CHDK from here. The files DISKBOOT.BIN and PS.FIR should be extracted and placed in the root directory of the camera’s SD card (you need a card reader for this). Next, put the card in the camera, and turn it on in play mode (it is important not to go into record mode first). There should be a menu option called ‘update firmware’, select that and agree to everything. This should cause CHDK to load and set up a directory structure on the card. Turn the camera off again, take the card out and put it back in the computer. There should be a CHDK directory on the card now. Copy the following uBasic script to a text file called remote.bas, and save it in the CHDK/scripts/ folder (which should have been created automatically):



The script came from here:


@title Remote button
:loop
wait_click 1
is_key k "remote"
if k=1 then shoot
goto "loop"
end

Now, put the card back in the camera again, and do the firmware load deal again to get the CHDK software running again. CHDK never installs itself on the camera, however there is a way to make it load automatically if you are interested. Get into ALT mode (which assigns different commands to the buttons) by pressing the ‘print’ button on the camera. Once in ALT mode (it should say at the bottom of the display, press the menu button to bring up the CHDK main menu, then select the ’scripting parameters menu’:

Using the CHDK software


Then select ‘load script from file’, choose the remote.bas script created earlier, and make sure ‘enable remote’ is selected in the scripting menu.

Setting things up so the remote is enabled when the camera turns on



Close the menu and press the shutter button to start the script. If all went well, the screen should look something like mine below. Plug in the remote and press the button to take a picture!

Thanks to someone over on
this website, I was able to convert a clicky pen into USB shutter release. It is designed for and works great with my CHDK modified A640.



... it's a pen ...


With some electrical tape, my soldering iron, some tin foil, a few batteries and a push button switch, I was able to get this thing working in about an hour.


... it's a USB cable release ...


[Note - you have to use a metal pen that conducts on the inside]


I cut the “computer” end off of the USB cable and soldered the black wire to the negative lead of the battery. I smashed some tin foil down in the end of the pen so that the positive side would make contact with the inside of the metal body. This was conected to one side of the push button switch. The other side was connected to the red lead of the cut USB cable.


Now I can shoot controled single frame animation with my 10 mega pixel camera!


I also got my little bunkers and tanks for the “Combat” shoot which is coming up soon!

ติดแผ่นกันลื่นให้กับกล้อง

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Computers & Electronics
Product Type: Digital Cameras
Manufacturer:  เพื่อนก้อง
เผอิญเพื่อนผมเพิ่งซื้อกล้องใหม่เอี่ยมมาใช้ แล้วบ่นว่ากล้องมันออกแบบมาดีมาก
เงาแว้บเรียบบางมน
ผลปรากฏว่าจับได้ไม่ถนัด ถ่ายไป300กว่ารูปเมื่อยมือเลย ตะคริวจะกิน

ผมเลยนึกขึ้นมาได้ว่าเพื่อนผมอีกคน เคยทำแผ่นกันลื่นให้ palm zire 71
เลยกลับไปค้นดู แล้วคิดว่าจะมีประโยชน์กับชาวใช้กล้องครับ เผื่อใครจะสนใจ

รายละเอียดตามไปอ่านได้ที่นี่ครับ http://www.mrpalm.com/getcontent.php3?tid=198
