For my project, I designed an Arduino switch using open-end wires that respond to the camera’s power state. I taped the wires to a digital camera so that when the camera is turned on, the wires disconnect and the LED light turns off, and when the camera is turned off, the wires reconnect and the light turns on. This created a simple but clever system where the camera itself acts as a physical trigger for the circuit. I really enjoyed experimenting with the setup, testing how small adjustments in the wire placement affected the light’s response. Since I’m passionate about photography, I wanted to combine my interest in cameras with my curiosity about electronics, and this project gave me a fun way to explore both creative and technical sides at the same time.
