The Arduino Camera Controller project was my first Arduino project, one that sparked my interest in electronics. The objective of this project started by building a sensor-triggered camera controller, similar to the amazing Camera Axe. I followed that project for two years, and it is truly amazing what he/she was able to accomplish with it (as far as I can see, that project can now be considered a professional product). This was my starting inspiration; I wanted to build something that could activate my Canon Rebel XTi from a sensor, and also have the option to take a series of photos for use in a time lapse video. This writeup is how I got from zero knowledge of electronics and mechanical engineering to a (nearly) finished project.
