I'd like to build a motion-triggered IR camera, to photograph animals in the yard at night. Only still images, not video. Probably storing the images on the micro-SD shield.
Is this a reasonable task for the Arduino Uno?
If the camera would be too much, or too slow, I suppose I could hack a digital point and shoot so that the Arduino could trigger its shutter. How would I do that electrically? A relay in place of the shutter button? Or could I just connect a pin in place of the pin and set it high (or low) when I want to take a picture?
Thanks from a novice,
Jon
