Collection of resources and notes for Canon digital camera hacks, mostly using CHDK.

Ideas

• If we end up using an Arduino inside the HSIS balloon, could use the USB remote triggering to take snaps.

• No point in putting the uC just to take pics, however if we are putting one in for other purposes, we can use it.
• Could possibly work out a simple control scheme using only one output pin. Looking into it.
• Send pulses to the camera when certain conditions are met, and make the script set parameters accordingly.
• Researching it further.

• Mounting the digicam on the toy car and have the arduino send it signals to take snaps under certain conditions.
