Bluetooth Pedal Switch for a Smartphone Camera

These days, I am into making Instructables, youtube videos, and blog posts.

To make the blog post productive, it is essential to take a lot of pictures as detail as possible. It is not that easy to do because a human being has only two hands. I needed to take photo at the same time I make something, solder some parts, and so on. I wish I could have more hands. One day, I found that I drove my car on my foot! Wow, amazing! I got an idea that it would be great if I take a picture with a pedal. I searched a pre-made product, but there wasn’t. I decided to make it by myself. I’m going to share how to make it. By the way, it is under $5.

If your phone is iPhone, you will need to attach the switch with upper switch.

If yours is an Android device, you will need below one.

The [Pedal Button] has 3 cables (Red, Green, Yellow).

We need to find which cables are connected when the [Pedal Button] is clicked.

I peeled cable and checked with a tester.

It turned out Green and Red

To make the cables fixed on the board, we need to put some lead on the wires.

It was hard to solder it because the space was so narrow.

The button doesn’t have any direction. You don’t need to care about the color of the cables.

Before enclosing everything, we need to try it.

Temporary put the battery on the board and turn on the power.

Try [Pedal Button]. If it works, you can go forward.

If everything is fine, To make it firmly, you need to put some glue on the surface.

We need to make some space for cables.

Glue is love

Put the power on and press the upper button(iPhone button) of [Bluetooth Selfie Switch].

Your phone will find the [Bluetooth Selfie Switch] soon.

Connect the [Bluetooth Selfie Switch]

That’s all! You got the button
