LED Pushbuttons



Hack-a-Day has a post up about a neat and clean way of doing led pushbuttons from pros. (translated)

The LED isn’t actually soldered where it passes through the board. The anode and cathode are bent around and soldered to allow the LED a little bit of travel.
Looks really nice. I am going to have to try this on my next project.

Controlling Sony Camcorders With an Arduino

Hackzine has an interesting post about using an Arduino board to control a Sony camcorder:

If you're an Arduino fan, you can easily create your own custom devices that can interact with your camcorder using the LANC protocol, allowing you to control zoom and record functions from your own programs. Goose wrote about his own project and example Arduino source:

I found source code to do LANC control with the Arduino board. It was written quite well - it worked the first time out. I made a few changes though, specifically changing it from being controlled by a serial port to being controlled by a potentiometer. I plan to build my own zoom controller with it, using an Arduino Mini.
