Update Pentax K100D Super

[TrevorW]

After a bit of hunting around I found that programs such as DSLR shutter will work with this camera using a Shoestring DSLR USB Shutter release.

Also I have a brother-in-law thats into electronics and he suggested using a microcontroller that could be programmmed to activate the shutter and take multiple shots thereby negating the need to have a PC/ power supply controlling the camera.

I'm thinking of going down this path further so I'll let you know if things work out.

That sounds very interesting Trevor - thanks for letting us know and please do keep us updated with the developments, I just love reading about these ATM projects.

Cheers

You can get Aputure remote timer from eBay for about $60. I got one from them for Pentax K100D super and it works OK
