New product: USB Shutter Cable for DSLR's now available

[cventer]

For those with DSLR's wanting to do long bulb exposures who dont have a serial or parallel port on their laptop, there is now a new product out from shoestring astronomy called the DSUSB.

I have been working with the manufacturer for the last 4 months on prototypes etc... adn wrote the drivers for it....

In case you are wondering I dont get any kcikbacks from sales of this product. The only advantage for me is that my software is currently supports this device. No doubt others will follow in time....

Best Regards

What USB driver do you use for the USBshutter? Is it a generaic USB-Serial chip inside that black box?

Ok read the manual Rob! I see it users the generic HID driver.. Very cool...!
