VB and the development of wizards / running batch files in VB

« on: November 03, 2007, 02:08:45 AM »

I am attempting to integrate the controls of my Canon PowerShot S70 into a Mach3 program. Before I continue, I should mention that I know very little about cnc, software, and electronics, in general. That being said, my theory for solving the above problem is this:

Write an M-code that runs a batch file that, in turn, activates/controls the shutter release on my camera.

Does anyone have any advice on this concept or the approach I am proposing?

General Mach Discussion / controlling a digital camera using Mach3 and Campbell breakout board

« on: October 31, 2007, 07:29:48 PM »

Hello all,

I am looking for clues on how I might go about triggering the shutter release on my canon point and shoot using the Mach3 software and the relays(?) on Campbell's breakout board. Anyone have any suggestions on options I might explore? ANY help would be greatly appreciated, as I am "new."
