Triggering a camera via USB (Arduino)
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 10:13 pm
Hello,
I am trying to trigger a Nikon D810 with an Arduino that is connected to the same computer.
What I am trying to accomplish
- Camera is connected to computer via USB.
- Arduino is connected to computer via USB.
- Have the arduino send a command through DCC to trigger the camera.
- The arduino is NOT connected directly to the camera.
- I do not want to use the Astrology tool.
Question:
Can I add trigger the camera to fire by sending a command from the Arduino?
What 'command' would have to be received to trigger the camera?
Can the Arduino send commands directly to the 'Single Line Command' or Command Line Utility?
My alternate option is to use a different Arduino which can 'fake' keyboard commands. I would then set the capture trigger to a Global keystroke and mimic that with the Arduino.
Thanks!
