Hi Carlos, thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, I don’t think I still have those files, but Tom Igoe just used the library in a project, you should check out his write-up:

Hello Matt,
can you maybe send me via e-mail the zip with the .cpp and .h. I did exacly what you say, but still non working. I´m really new on the arduino lenguage. I add the library. but don’t know if I’m missing the void setup() and void loop() to start the programm…

Thank a lot!!

Hi,

I got your code compiling (and therefore working of course) on the latest 0017 Arduino IDE.

You just need to substitute

#include “WConstants.h” with #include “WProgram.h”

to get rid of the compiler errors.

That does the trick… Thanks for this nice bit of code.

I’m using this on a Arduino Mega. In addition to the changes from software version 11 to 12, this code ends up operating on the pin labeled 10 rather than pin 12 for me.

@Aurelien Thanks for the most excellent code. I used it for my Nikon Lightning remote. Solargap Technology Blog

[...] out with the code required to activate the remote shutter for the Nikon. I found the code here: Thing-a-Day Site . The code looked very elegant and complete. So i decided to try it. It worked, every ten seconds [...]

High(ish)-speed Photography (followup)…

So this Tuesday I got my Arduino in the mail. I really mean just in the mail… it was in an anti-static bag in a bubble-wrap envelope! Anyway I managed to waste about 6 hours screwing around with it the first night I got it. Since then after a lo…

Hey,
here’s my contribution to this remote camera control problem

I check the PWM idea, it don’t work,
the PWM frequency is too small compared to the 38400 hz needed.

And I wrote a different version of the code without ASM,
you can find a description & the code here:
ilpleut.be

thanks

Hi hurley, good luck this christmas! You might be able to use a PWM output to do this, I didn’t really investigate it. It seems like a counter might actually be a better option then a PWM, if you could program it to give you an interrupt after a certain number of counts (some of the PIC processors have this sort of feature). Driving it directly seemed the easiest way to get it working, especially since there was existing code that didn’t require much modification.

Awesome hack! I don’t have an Arduino yet, but I hope someone likes me enough at Christmas to get me one!

I’m sure there’s a simple answer, but I was just wondering why you didn’t use one of PWM pins to do the 38kHz pulsing. Sounds to this noob like what they were meant to do.
