Arduino based Timelapse Photography Rig

  This Arduino based Timelapse Photography Rig that Aonomus built is a great idea that will let you dig out your old digital camera and get a bit more use out of it. The Arduino microcontroller monitors a potentiometer and changes the time delay between pictures based on the dialed in value. There’s a LCD screen that shows the number of pictures taken and the delay between pictures. Finally to
