MAKE: Blog: How To - time-lapse photos with Canon SLRs & Arduino

How To - time-lapse photos with Canon SLRs & Arduino

Intervaluinoschem

Shooting time-lapse photos would seem a simple task for today's modern imaging equipment - but in most circumstances a pricey 'intervalometer' device is necessary. Have no fear, Arduino user LordYo is on the case.

I've built an intervalometer for Canon SLR cameras (e.g. EOS 300-400, DigitalRebel) based on Arduino. I call it the Intervaluino. If you want to build one yourself, I've posted circuit schematics, component list, code, photos, and an explanation on my blog

Or ... you could just buy a lower level Canon that has CHDK compatability and shoot intervals to your hearts content. Among about a thousand other things that the slr's can't do.

CHDK Rules!
