Yeah, I’ve thought about that myself, but haven’t gotten around to implementing anything like that (honestly, the device broke when I tried to put a hole for the viewfinder in, but that’s another story). If you have a microcontroller like a BSII or an Audrino, it could be hooked up to output (either directly or through a relay not sure) to substitute for the trigger button. A 555 timer woudl probably work as well or even a PLC. Hopefully that helps. I’m honestly a bit better at the mechanical side of things and hack around with the electrical stuff.

I was thinking time-lapse photography originally, but 9 min is too long for most stuff. I may try hooking it up to some sort of microcontroller to get more control, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Perhaps hacking one of those would give you a series of photos similar to security pics – or string them together to give a time-lapse of your subject. (For what it’s worth)
