Here is a good DIY project from a guy that took one of those disposable digital cameras for about $11, and put a USB port on it. These cameras are about a 1.3 megapixel camera. The second link has all the information you need, as well as the software you need to access the camera, and download the pictures. I am especially interested in this article. I have a Canon 10D digital camera. I used to work at the yearbook at Auburn University, as a photographer. I got to be a photographer on the sidelines of a lot of Auburn’s games. (Speaking of Auburn, did you see the AU vs Bama game on Saturday? It was incredible)
Now something on a more exciting note, which has nothing to do with this camera. I finally found my pictures, and video of my line following robot that I built. I found my schematic also, but can’t find the code. I do have some code for a simplified version of the robot. I will post it after Thanksgiving, so keep coming back, and I will do a pretty thorough walk-through of how I did it. If you can’t tell, I am pretty proud of it.
Anyway, here is a link to teamdroid.com. He made his own USB Dakota.
This was originally hacked here, and the article can be found here as well[walkthrough]

That’s clever, very clever to put a USB port on a disposable digital camera, it just goes to shoe that almost anythink can be done if you know someone that can do it and have the idea in the first place.
Its great to see new ideas on the horizon, this is a great idea and love it, what else will they come up with next, a sponge ship. lol
