In the Maker Shed: Motion-Sensitive Camera Trap Parts Kit

Motion Sensative Camera Kit
The Motion-Sensitive Camera Trap Parts Kit from the Maker Shed allows you add new abilities to your IR remote ready digital camera. Use the motion sensitive mode to take stunning wildlife shots or catch a bad guy. Then flip a switch to take time lapse photos at the interval of your choice using the intervalometer function. Using inspiration from Tom Igoe’s article in MAKE Volume 22, this kit uses an Arduino (not included) to automate your photography. Currently, the Arduino library only works for Nikon cameras with IR functionality. If you create a library for other brands or hack it to use the remote trigger port of your camera, please let us know in the comments! Check out the Make: Projects page for more information.

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
