Trigger LED pannels and Canon camera

Hello there,

I'm completely new to Arduino, I have background skills in C / C++ and Python programming.

The goal of my project is to make a simple photo rig, to be able to shoot a subject with a Canon camera under different lighting conditions (using LED pannels).

So the main functionalities that I need are :

  • Switch ON / OFF some led Pannels
  • Trigger the Canon camera using a mini-jack cable

Is it possible with Arduino ? ( I've done some research on the internet and it seems to be ok)

How fast the ON / OFF led switch can be ?

What Type of Arduino device I need to buy for that project ?

Is it possible to use external power for the LEDS ? I'm planing to use quite a lot of leds, but don't want to trigger each one individualy, only ~ 15 different pannels.

Thanks :slight_smile:
