I have seen proprietary devices which use a Bluetooth dongle plugged into the USB port on a camera in order to control the focus and shutter.
After hours of searching, I can only find code for an Arduino to fulfill the same function.
Does anyone know if there is a NXT program to carry out the same function?
Using Bluetooth in this way would be cheaper than the alternatives as well as freeing up a NXT port.

Re: Bluetooth camera control
I haven't heard of something like that for the NXT, but it might be possible. The NXT BT module only supports serial (like UART), not HID or any other BT protocol.

Re: Bluetooth camera control
Thanks, the limited protocols probably rules that out then.
I have a long-term (meaning I don't know how to do it) project to use an expansion board to drive a 4 line display. That should leave enough free lines for limited camera control so I will probably try that, eventually.
