Hack 2.4G RF Signal?

Projects General Guidance
1

I am relatively new to Arduino and I have a project I need help with.
I have a PIXEL RW-221 UC1 FSK 2.4GHz 16 channel wireless camera shutter remote control. The button on the transmitter is hinky and doesn't always work but the receiver still works great. What I'm wanting to do is trigger the receiver (ie my camera) with my Arduino Uno with a NRF24L01 2.4G Transceiver. I haven't found any hacks of this type as of yet. Is this possible? Where do I need to start to accomplish this goal? Do I need to hack transmitter RF signal? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any Advice Is Greatly Appreciated.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Fix the button on the transmitter.

Yeah I wish I could!
So I guess buy another wireless camera shutter remote?

4

No, seriously, fix/replace the switch.
Maybe find a slightly bigger, less ergonomic case, but so what?

5

Or add an external button to connect the same 2 pins the current one connects to.

Good Idea!
I'm glad I asked!
Thanks

If you want to use an Adruino to do this then connect the arduino in place of the button ie use the arduino as the new button. Then program the arduino to trigger the camera in response to lots of different conditions. Eg time lapse, changes in light level, movement .....

"buttons" very rarely fail. odds are you have a bad joint just re-heat it with a soldering iron.

That's what I was trying to say in a round about way "use the arduino to trigger the camera."
I have already triggered the camera via Arduino hardwired with a hacked Olympus 12 connector.
Then I wired in an old intervalometer to Arduino to fire the camera with IR for time lapses. I was trying to go the next step and try it with 2.4G RF this time since I have a receiver made just for my camera.
I have a ton of photography projects involving Arduino book marked in my browser and flyin' around in my head. Its finding the time to experiment I find the hardest part!
