Hi,
I have a USB adruino and
I have a PhotoCam with 3 pinns in a RemoteControl hole.
I need to shorten 2 of them for focus and then all 3 of them to shot a picture.
So i connect them with 3 wires to arduino ANALOG pins 0,1,2
so how can i build in VVVV a patch to shorten those pinns???
which code can i use to upload to arduino?
everything i saw here (multisignal_ascii_sender or firmata) seems to make something else....
the one thing i found out, i have to put a resistence between the cam and the board to save both of them from burning....right?
To simplify the question, can i use the arduino board as a relay?
Can i control it via VVVV?
Can i control it via VVVV?
What is VVVV? Have you a link?
....but it is the second part....
More importend is, if I can programm arduino as relay?
if I can programm arduino as relay?
No. A relay is a mechanical device that closes contacts. An un-aided arduino can only put out logic level signals, high or low.

You can use an optocoupler to short the camera pins.
Here is one example: http://wordpress.bolanski.com/?p=9
You can find other links using Arduino optocupler as keywords (or search for commonly used part numbers: 4N25, 4N26, 4N35, 4N36
Thank you!
I decided to use an external relay.
As i see, i can use the same code as for optocoupler to controll relay...

HEY - HERE A LITTLE RUSSIAN SOLUTION:
you need "2 switches"! --> use photodiods instead of and place near every diod a LED.
now give the LEDs the HIGH from arduino.
should work... i hope :o

its like an optokoppler worx
