==My tips==
===Retroreflector barrier===
For the laser barrier mode, it's much easier to do the following:
* Bring laser & sensor side-by-side, possibly in a little tube if ambient light is too bright
* Put a [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Retroreflector bicycle retroreflector (catadioptre in French) as target
Advantages:
* Retroreflector is a larget target than the photosensor, so alignment is easier
* Retroreflector angle doesn't matter that much
* Wires on the same side so it's very easy to cover large distances, I tried it over 4m (so 8m for the laser beam to travel back to the photosensor)
===Delay between event and shooting===
If you need an extra delay between the event and the actual shooting, you can use the "normal" mode and make use of the "autofocus time".
==Ideas==
* Maybe it's less confusing to have another specific option to setup a delay time between the sensor event and the rest of the program, this would also allow to have that delay in pre-bulb and mirror-lockup modes.
* Add 3.5 jack for supporting standard microphones
* Change the sensor config bargraph by a smooth bargraph, cf [[Arduino EMF]]
* We've a IR phototransistor, could we use it for a remote control mode? Would it be useful in some situations or the camera remote control receiver is enough? cf Practical Arduino book p44
* Barrier sensor settings are very different for IR and laser, it would maybe be better to have 2 separate sub-menus so each will remember its proper sensitivity setting.
* Option to use the light sensor in intervalometer mode to skip pics when dark, cf Practical Arduino book 49
* New menu to handle exposure times larger than 30s (the Canon battery grip with intervalometer has also this large exposure time mode, up to 99h)
* Provide a full control of the Photoduino via USB/serial interface, this would allow e.g
** to load/store sets of parameters
** to select modes & options from a terminal
** to create setups where photoduino is controlled via a webserver, via twitter, whatever you can imagine.
