TimelapseSensor

This project utilizes an IR proximity sensor to trigger a camera shutter, facilitating time-lapse photography. It employs a Xiao BLE module and a MAX30102 IC to detect motion and communicate with a Sony camera over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) using the GATT profile.

Features

• Proximity Detection: Utilizes a MAX30102 IR sensor.
• BLE Communication: Uses Xiao BLE module to interface with Sony cameras.
• Calibration: Automatic 20-second calibration period on startup.
• Mounting: Designed to attach to the X-axis as shown in the image.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Hardware: Xiao BLE Module, MAX30102 IR Sensor, Sony Camera.
• Software: nrf connect SDK

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mohit3112/TimelapseSensor.git

Usage

• Attach the sensor module to the camera's X-axis.
• Ensure the BLE module is properly connected.
• Power on the device and wait for the 20-second calibration to complete.
• Start capturing time-lapse photos once calibration is done.
