Bluetooth Pedal Switch for a Smartphone Camera

How to make Bluetooth Pedal Shutter ) For Android and iOS ($5 DIY : selfie button hacking)

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

In order to make the blog post rich, it is essential to take a lot of pictures as detail as possible.

It is not that easy to do because human being has only 2 hands.

I needed to take picture 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 by my foot! Wow amazing!

I got an idea that it would be great if I take a picture with a pedal.

I searched pre-made product, but there wasn’t. I decided to make by myself.

I’m going to share how to make it. By the way, it is under $5.
