I'm trying to build a simple intervalometer, i.e. a device which gives my camera regular impulses to shoot a picture at a defined interval. It would enable me to do custom time-lapse series.<br> <br> Hooking up my camera to such a device is not a problem, as my Canon EOS 400D uses a easily available cable jack for the remote control. <br> <br> I can solder, and have a basic understanding of electronics components. However, I don't know how to build the device itself. I'm looking for an DIY electronics kit (could be programmable, but doesn't has to be) or cheap hackable gadget (timed blinking lights? kitchen timer?) that I could convert into an impulse-giver.<br> <br> The device would need to be configurable to set the following parameters:<br> <br> - Time off - e.g. 500ms<br> - Time on - e.g. 10ms<br> - (optional): number of repetitions - e.g. 1000x<br> <br> Example for a commercially available device: [<a href="http://www.pclix.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1">pClix</a>] tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.92455 Tue, 27 May 2008 02:02:58 -0800 diy electronics intervalometer make photography timelapse lord_yo
