Nikon Programmable Remote

Sooo... I just finished working on a little electronics project to trigger Nikon cameras over its Infrared remote sequence. This board is designed to act as a programmable intervalometer, plain ol' manual remote, computer controlled remote, and access to an easily modifiable program with the ability to upload code over the serial port into usb. Whoa. That was a long sentence. Sorry.

 

Should I start maybe selling a kit for these? My dad said people might want these. I don't know... It would be good for learning soldering, but I really don't know if I can sell stuff... The prototype was about 25 dollars as I recall, but if I made more, they would be a lot cheaper. Especially for the board. The FTDI usb cable is another twenty. Would anybody want one? It might be possible to sell. EDIT: Well, there's 225 views which is much higher than most of my photos, and no comments, so I guess not. That's okay. Less work for me... (But you just wait to see what I do with it in the future.)

 

I'm gonna make a little web page for it, for access to code, board designs, etc, and I'll edit this little description soon. EDIT: Seriously... When I get the motivation. 'NOTHER EDIT: I made the little hacked together write-up: etharooni.polorix.net/NikonRemote.html

 

Well... That made it seem like it was a much bigger deal than it is. It's really not an amazing board, but as this is a photography community, some people might want one.
