Emulate the Nikon ML-L3 / 4730 remote with a Palm Pilot & OmniRemote

What you need
	OmniRemote software for Palm The database I created for OmniRemote A Palm Pilot with IrDa or the OmniRemote Module A computer that will syncronise with your Palm Pilot Compatible Camera Nikon N65 / F65 Nikon Pronea S (APS) Nikon Nuvis S Nikon Nuvis S 2000 Nikon Nuvis V Nikon Lite Touch Zoom 110s QD Nikon Lite Touch Zoom 130 ED / QD Nikon Lite Touch Zoom 150 ED / QD Nikon N75 Nikon D70 and D70s Nikon D50 (Confirmed 4-18-2005) Looking for the Pocket PC version?

Download both OmniRemote and the N65 Remote database, when you go to install OmniRemote on your palm pilot, use the .pdb file from the N65 remote instead of the one included with OmniRemote, then go into categories and select N65.
There should be a huge button that says "Shutter". Setup your compatible camera to be triggered by Infrared, point the Palm and tap the button.

I have added the HEX code for those that were wanting to develop programs for Pocket PCs and hardware devices.
Please note that all information and the hex is subject to license restrictions and is COPYLEFT, you may develop new software and hardware based on this information but you may not charge for the software and it too must be copylefted.

Adding Timed Exposure past 1minute
Tested 7-21-2003 23:38(PDT)
Using an N65, F65, or N75 (May Work With Others)
Put the camera into Manual Focus and Manual Settings
Insert your F stop and focus on your subject
Set your shutter speed to -- aka Bulb to do this move your jod dial to the left until you see the --
Turn on the remote signal detection on the camera (Refer to your manual)
Setting up OmniRemote for Timed Exposure
Go into OmniRemote, Select the N65 category
Tap the menu and select Advanced>Timers
Press the "New" button
The date should be set already
For time insert a number closest to your time now but at least one minute away
Mode should be "Single Event"
Button: tap and it will ask you to select which button, Select the shutter button
Now you can tap "OK"
Now you are set for it to open the shutter now you need it to close.
To do this create another new timer, the only difference is where it says "Time" set it to when you want the shutter to close.
Take into consideration that the fastest timed exposure you can do is 1 minute, I have yet to test what is the longest, most likely it will stay open until the batteries in the camera run out of energy.

Now that the palm is programmed, make sure it is pointing in the direction of the IR reciever, if it won't trigger it, it won't work, I am working on a solution to replace handholding the palm pilot for over 1 minute so you know it will turn on and off the shutter. Also the reciever on the camera times out after a minute and shuts off so when you program your timer make sure you turn on the camera's reciever close enough to the time when the palm with tell it to fire.

HELP ME WITH THIS PROJECT!!!

If anyone has a different Nikon IrDa device and has captured it's signal with OmniRemote, please send me the pdb file so I can add it to the database. This also goes for Canon users and anyone who has a camera that can be triggered by Infrared.

If you do not have OmniRemote, but you have a triggering device that isn't listed here, Contact me so we can work out a way of adding the device.

I am still working on a FAQ.

My current configuration:
Palm IIIc with OS 4.1 & OmniRemote 2.08
