Update Pentax K100D Super

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.

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