Awesome. I love all these hacks and mods.

Very cool! wish I had an Android instead of a Crackberry.

Can you control timelapse with it as well?

Ctwo - I saw this a while back when I searched the android market but I let it run me off with my ignorance of understanding what the bluetooth shield meant.

I mean what the hell is the thing that he has plugged into the side of the camera? Can you buy that or is that a disassembled ear piece?

I guess I could read the directions but I am hoping that one of you was anxious and did it. Then you can report to the dumb asses like me how to really do it is dumb ass terms.

Skippy,

The project basically emulates the remote EOS control via a PC with the following significant differences:

- replaces the PC with an Android application on a phone or similar device.
- Makes the interface wireless via bluetooth.

The thing plugged into the camera is just a microprocessor/microcontroller - this one is called an Arduino - and it provides the interface to the camera and bluetooth (via "shield"). One could do the same thing with a PIC or other...this one was just already designed and programmed.

Oh yea, another significant difference is that you will not get live view on the android device.

LOL on the new avatar, Ctwo. Maybe you can change your user name to SQtwo.
