Achim Sack a fan of time lapse photography and tinkering has created and revised his Intervalometer. For those who like to hack and tinker this might be right up your street.
Features:
- No power supply needed: The circuit “steals” in the operating current (only 10µA at 5V and 2.5µA at 3.3V) from the signal lines of the camera
- Interval adjustable from 0.4 seconds to about 18 minutes
- No controls, setting of the intervall via “teach-in” from the camera
- Ultra-portable: the circuitry fits into the housing of a 2.5mm stereo plug
- Component cost: 87 ct (July 2010)
The details, and “how to” links are here.

Update: Reader Stargazer 95050 emails,
The link to that cheap timelapse controller was fascinating. $2 for that !! It sounds too good to be true — tough technically he is right. !!
