I want to build me a remote control so that I can trigger my Canon EOS 7D camera in the same way as one does with a RC-6 wireless remote control. I bought the IR LED diodes with 850nm and 900nm wavelenght. Just need to release the camera immediately (without time delays).
I have tested several sketcher, but get Compeilig problems with em all. Whith this "multiCameraIrControl" I got the error message " 'Canon' does not name a type".
I am a new beginning novice so I still need further assistance.
You should create (if you don't already have one) a libraries directory in the directory where you save sketches. Then unzip the library to that new directory.
Also, it can help to turn on verbose mode for compilation (or uploading) depending upon which is causing problems. This can be done by selecting the Preferences option from the File Menu and clicking verbose compilation... See attached screen capture to illustrate.
Oh, after installing or changing a library you will need to restart (exit and come back) the Arduino IDE so that it will recognize the changes.
OK, I have now unzipped the program and tested it again. Now I got anoter compiling error messages. My windows is not like ours. Please see the pictures of my skreen.
ok, now I have deleted all my Arduino files. My new setup is like this:
I open the program from c:/programfiles/arduino-1.0.1
and I open the sketch from c:/users/Bjorn Tore/my documents/Arduino/multiCameraIrController/examples/Canon/canon.pde (can not find any .INO-files so I guess I had to use this .pde files).

My new Error messages is:
Sorry just checked on my windows box and the library should have been place in a libraries subdirectory... So your path should have been
I tried it once with following IR-LED (Conrad no- 18 43 65) and once with (Conrad IR-LED No- 18 45 51)
I am not sure if the IR-Leds are not ok or the sketch are not right ??
Have anyone a well experience with Canmon 600D and such IR-Arduino combination ??
So I will buy a RC-6 remote controller and will hack it...

And be sure to restart the IDE AFTER you move the directory
Indeed it needs to be in the libraries folder - after that it should appear in your IDE under import>library and there will also be a multiCamerIrControl folder in the examples folder.
