Parts required for Time-Lapse Camera Controller 38 CHAPTER 3 TIME-LAPSE CAMERA CONTROLLER Figure 3-2. Schematic for non-camera-specific portion of the circuit Instructions Assemble Prototyping Shield Control connections to the camera are made using a pair of reed relays that provide complete electrical isolation between your Arduino and the camera itself. In fact, this project has been designed to use the same pins as the first two outputs on the relay board used in the very first project, Appliance Remote Control, so that if you’ve already built that project, you can use the same board without modification.
So if the plugpack is rated at 12V at 500mA, it may actually output 15V or more if only 200mA is being drawn. This explains why when you measure some supplies with a multimeter they show a much higher output voltage than what is written on the label. For Arduino projects, we generally recommend you stick with regulated supplies, as it reduces the chances of exceeding maximum voltages for any connected circuitry. Experience suggests that if the supply is rated at 5V or 3V3, then it’s probably regulated; by contrast, 12V supplies often aren’t.
15 CHAPTER 2 Appliance Remote Control One of the basic tasks in many home automation systems is controlling power to appliances. These could be lights, a heater, an exhaust fan, or just about anything else that runs on mains power. The problem, of course, is that it’s dangerous to mess with mains-level power directly and you may even be in violation of your local building code if you don’t have the necessary qualifications. This project uses a general-purpose appliance remote control that can be obtained from a local hardware store.
