Arduino USB triggers for dslr cameras (multi-camera trigger system)

I am designing a custom 3D scanning rig that uses multiple cameras (12 in total) to capture images from various angle and view all simultaneously. See this short video for example. [login to view URL] The camera model is Nikon D5200. There will be 12 of these cameras. Each one of them is connected through a USB cable to a PC / laptop. We use digicamcontrol open-source software to control the camera. Triggering the cameras using the software and simple USB cable set up comes with a delay between each camera and is not ideal. We want all the cameras to fire simultaneously, hence taking 12 pictures of the subject in all directions at the same time. We need an arduino / USB relay for triggering all the cameras at the same time. See this link for example. [login to view URL] There is also some discussion about this topic here [login to view URL] Our system requirement is as follows: A) 12 cameras B) all connected to the PC via USB cable C) Needs to trigger simultaneously. We have got the first two parts sorted, at the moment we are trigger them via Transceivers (Yong Nuo) and they are not ideal because each one of them needs 2 AAA batteries and we can't afford to keep checking and changing batteries. The system will be running continously for at least 14 months. You job is to design and create an Arduino/ USB relay that would allow simultaneous trigger of the cameras. Budget is NZD 250 for your hours and an additional NZD 250 for the electronic components that you need. We will cover the shipping cost if you are based overseas. Please apply with the word beginning with "3D SCAN". That is to ensure that you have read the proposal and not just apply blindly. Thank you again for reading.

"3D SCAN" Hello, Have a great day. We are a company offering solution in product development. we have read the project requirements very thoroughly. Al though our bid is far higher than the listed budget, but we ensure the proper working of device. As a proof we are writing few lines to ensure we have understood the requirement very clearly. 1. Will you keep USB cable plugged in for 14 months? 2. what will be power source to cameras? 3. Why don't you make data logging hardware? Device that will save pics in SD card and broadcasts on server or to a remote PC? 4. Can we power up the system using solar panels and battery as backup? Please feel free to contact us. We will deliver best possible solution. Regards, Shahbaz.

3D SCAN Hello, I am an expert Embedded Systems Developer and I have worked extensively with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. I read through the links you sent for the Arduino forums as well as that other blog post. I believe I will choose the port manipulation method along with optocouplers. Moreover, I will provide you with a finished product that you just need to connect to the PC from one end and the other end would have 12 standard shutter release inputs coming from the cameras. I would like to discuss more details with you and I can start immediately today! I am very excited about your project idea and I have done similar personal projects however not for 3D scans but for time-lapse photography using a Canon EOS camera. Best regards, Ahmed Hefnawi

3D SCAN Hello. I interested your project make small research and alredy find nice and cheap wire-remotes (i ll sent link in PM), that i will connect to the relays and will control from Arduino UNO for example. Do you want to control from pc or mb need hardware button too? I have more then 3 years expirience with it and could dsign quality solution. Price that i bid for my work. But think i will found a hardware cheaper (buy quality) than your budget. Lets discuss details.

Using an arduino or something very similar like seeduino that has more I/O ports, with a relay board, I will write some code to fire simultaneosly 12 cameras using an usb trigger. Total hardware cost under 250 ndz dollars = 200 euro. My fees is 250 ndz dollars. I think that shipping cost will be about 150 ndz with 5 to 15 days delay. Regards Davide

3D SCAN Hello, I'm a young Mechatronics engineer focused on robotics and computer vision, currently working to sustain my graduate studies. I've read all your project and seen the videos/links and think we could work a good system to get all your cameras firing at the same time. Please contact me to discuss the project a bit further and hopefully to start working together asap, also it sounds like a really interesting project, it's always good to see creative work on this site.
