Stop motion with Pentax K5 and Arduino

Sebastian Setz has created an Arduino library that can emulate an IR remote for a system camera. It supports all major brands. I created a sketch that takes a picture when i push a button. I used it to create a stop motion movie where it is important not to move the camera between shots. This library could also be used to make time laps shots where the camera takes pictures at a defined interval.

Below you can see my set up for the stop motion. To make a video of the jpg images i used MakeAVI.

 

Here is the video.
