Microcontroller. Lightning Trigger for a Camera. {*style:<b>Update: Check out my latest Camera Axe project for a much more robust device that handles this. </b>*} I knew there were devices that could trigger a camera to fire during a lightning strike, but their circuits were more complicated than I wanted to make. I’m a software guy not a hardware guy so I decided to use an Arduino and that allowed me to write a little code that made the circuit much simpler. Before I got started I looked at this wikipedia article about lightning so that I could verify this project would work. The circuit I used to detect the light from the lightning was a very simple circuit that looked like the above circuit diagram. I also needed a circuit to trigger the camera. The last thing I needed to do was write some software. Here is the code . Here are a few example pictures from Adam Bell. Here’s a link to John’s Flicker page where he’s used this method to take some really nice lightning photos.

Permalink. Smallest Linux computer in the World. This is just the enlarged RJ45 connector. Prepared to download an Linux image. The technical details can be found here. It is available with 2 MB and 4 MB Flash. The picotux 100 mounted on a PCB board of 53mm x 48 mm. It is also available with 2 MB and 4 MB Flash and a Power Over Ethernet option (PoE). The starter kit 1 consists of a picotux 112 with a preinstalled uClinux, a CD with all the binaries and sources for the uClinux and the tool chain.

Digital Project -- Digital Camera Interface. Iñaki Navarro Oiza Report ::: Code ::: Slides Introduction The aim of this project is the development and construction of an interface between a CMOS camera and a computer. This interface allows a user to get images from the camera, to change some of the properties of the camera as brightness, luminance, etc from a computer. The Camera The Camera called c3088 uses a CMOS image sensor OV6620 from Omnivision . The System The communication from the microcontroller to the camera to change the properties of the camera is made using the I2C.
