I just got my BS2 to have my Kodak DC3400 to take pictures. I can now
have the stamp control the zoom, focus and shutter.

I would like to thank everyone for their help. Especially Al Williams
(I guess I should go buy his book now [noparse]:)[/noparse]

If anyone is interested in the details let me know and I will post
them on my web page.

thanks
chad

    Please do!
    I've had cameras modified by a camera tech (who does a great
    job). But to stay in business he has to charge a lot. I'd modify
    cameras if I had the instructions (I don't want to risk destroying a
    camera).

    I'd like to see it too. I have a DC290 that can be
    programmed to do some amazing things. Input from a
    Stamp would be a useful tool.

    The DC260/5/90 don't have simple serial comms like the DC20-120.
    For these the best route would to write a digiyal script that opens the serial
    port
    and reads commands sent from the STAMP.

    Did I miss anything? Is there a website? I assume the BS2 is
    sending instructions to the camera with a serout command?
