Did you check if your camera even has a remote control capability? :-) Look here: http://panasonic.com.au/products/specifications.cfm?objectID=3090 Remote Control No > I don't have the remote control.

Building remote control functionality into the camera would be another thread with [EE] tag :-) Regards, -- Chetan Bhargava Web: http://www.bhargavaz.net Blog: http://microz.blogspot.com

Read more exactly OK then, which 'receiver' are you talking about ? > Building remote control functionality into the camera would be another > thread with [EE] tag :-) It's not as difficult as it sounds. I modified a VCR remote control with FETs across the carbon keypads so it could be operated by a PC's LPT1: (back in the days when you could actually get to LPT1: on a PC). You could do the same with the buttons in the camera, probably also carbon. Would just need an IR receiver and a PIC decoder on the camera, make your protocol or use a VCR remote. Has all the functions, maybe adapt keys for Zoom etc

Atmel has a AVR appnote on RC5 decoding. -Chetan
