Last night just for fun I created a 6 led 'cylon light' with the Arduino. It was pretty cool. I managed to wire it up without refering to any web pages. I did grab the code off the internet and modify it - but I think I could write it from scratch. Its pretty easy to program.
After that I created a usb cable to plug into my canon point and shoot (SD750) and connect the the Arduino prototype board. I was able to have the Arduino send a command to shoot the camera! Unfortunatly it was not able to tell the camera to shoot a movie. I think I need a different version of the CHDK software on the camera that allows the setting of modes. I'll try that out later.
