Dear all,

Did anyone managed to use the puck.js as a shutter remote? (such as this: https://youtu.be/a51dq-WwNKs

)

Thank you.

It should be easy enough to do with http://www.espruino.com/Puck.js+Keyboard

Probably all you need to do is send something like a space or return keypress to convince the camera to take a picture, but even if it needs to send a custom report descriptor that could be done too.

Thanks @Gordon!
I just tried with

var controls = require("ble_hid_controls");
NRF.setServices(undefined, { hid : controls.report });
function btnPressed() {
  controls.playpause();
}
setWatch(btnPressed, BTN, {edge:"rising",repeat:true,debounce:50});

and it works like charm!

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
