Electronics – Digital Camera Controller – 30/08/2010

Jacques has managed to hack our digital camera. Giving us control of Zoom In/Out, Focus, Capture and Power On/Off via a small breakout board and an Arduino micro controller. This means we can take high resolution (8MP) snap shots remotely via the Arduino-XBee ground station. Images are stored locally and recovered from the camera later. We will post some images from the flight of the PAL MKII Refit soon.
