Here is another exciting camera control project – an improvement of Yanis controller which I covered some time ago. The author – Ziggy from Crisp Concept used Yanis hardware as-is but developed his own control code for both Arduino and Android. Several additional commands has been implemented, most notably video recording and LiveView zoom control.
The project is hosted on Google Code. The source code of Arduino sketch is posted there and can be used for learning how to use commands not covered in PTP library examples. It should be noted that Ziggy uses modified versions of old PTP and USB Host libraries – you’d need to use them instead of standard ones in order for sketch to compile.
I’m hoping parallel development will be beneficial for Manishi’s and Ziggy’s projects. I’m following both with great interest and will be posting updates here. Stay tuned!
Oleg.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for the site, looks very interesting. Would you please correct the link, now is http://www.circuitsathome.com/crispconcept.com but should be http://www.crispconcept.com. Thanks
Hi Fernando,
Thank you for catching this – fixed!
Thank you for showing your nice technique.
Unfortunately, I am illetrate in this stuff. I wonder if I can buy similar technology in commercial outlets.
If so, do you know any brand?
thanks
I think Ziggy is going to produce them – he have mentioned it somewhere.
Hi Oleg,
Thanks for posting the article about my App. I am about to finish the Hardware Controller. The controller utilizes standard parts (including your USB Host Shield for Arduino Pro Mini) so anybody can do it by himself (I will post detailed instructions on my site), along with it I will be offering assembled and preloaded controller for purchase. It should be available for purchase on my site in mid October. I will keep you informed about status.
Thanks again,
Ziggy
Anyone have a copy of the sourcecode?, the source isn’t available.
I’m very interested to earning how to use the commands not covered in PTP library.
Thanks.
The source Code for this isn’t available anymore… i want to see how they made all the things…
I saw the code from Yanis is really interesting, but i want these too….
