Are you intrigued and interested in time-lapse pieces of footage and want to create such films yourself? Well now you can with the DSLR Universal Interval IR Remote from SeeedStudio (along with your DSLR camera). This awesome little device sends IR commands to your camera to shoot peridoically at configured intervals. In this way, you will get thousands of pictures of a scene and you can combine them to create that time-lapse effect.
The IR command is compatible with most DSLR makes and models and you do not have to configure it.
Note
: This kit requires soldering
Instructions for Usage
You can power the board either by the Micro USB port or with batteries. You must select the power source "USB" or "BATTERY" by the slide switch on the edge of the board, depending on how you power the board.
When you have done this, the board automatically starts to fire the IR command periodically. You can select the interval time by pressing the push-button switch in the center of the board. The LED on the board has two menu options; the cycle from 0-9, and the cyle from A-F. This allow you to choose different interval lengths. Selecting 0 results in an interval of 1 second, 1 on the LED results in an interval of 2 seconds etc. and so 9 on the LED means an interval of 10 seconds. If you would like a longer interval then these, then the second menu comes in, A-F. A gives you an interval of 15 seconds, B 20 seconds and so on in 5 second increments until F which gives you a 40 seconds interval. .
Note:
the LED will turn off after 8 seconds of pressing the button (except for a small dot). The IR continues to work in this state.
Installation
Please install and fix the board near your digital SLR camera. The IR LED should face the IR remote receiver on your camera. Cable ties may be useful to fix the board on your tripod. Please see below for an example of such a setup.
Changing the interval from seconds to minutes
You also have the option of changing the intervals to minutes instead of seconds. You do this by connecting the pads marked 'JP2' on the board. You will then be able to select interval times from 1 to 40 minutes.
Note: You will have to turn off your cameras automatic sleep mode when choosing long intervals.
Combining the pictures
In order to combine the pictures into the time-lapse sequence, you will need film-editing software. Such software includes TMPGenc (for Windows) and iMovie (for Mac OSX). The usage of the software is out of scope of this documentation.

Great for night time play!
Size: One-Size-for-Most
This ball is great! It is a 2-for-one light up feature so we love the flashing lights and if she drops it in the snow after those lights stop, we can still find it because of the strong glow that gets its charge from the flashing LED lights. Our first one lasted a few years, we lost it on a trip so now back for our second one so we can keep the night time fetch going! She is a golden retriever for size reference. Any bigger of a breed and I would worry it might be too small for her mouth. It’s a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Just don’t make the same mistake I did and let them have it in the house at night, she walked up to my bedside while I was asleep one night and squeezed it to activate it. Those lights are so bright it was a rude awakening!

Good option for playing at night
Size: One-Size-for-Most
This ball is a good option if your dog likes to fetch at night. It stays lit for about 20 minutes or so, but that is me only leaving it out of the counter, being "charged" by whatever house lights are on. My dog isn't a big chewer, but it seems as though it would hold up well. I like that it is easy to rinse and clean. It seems to be a good value.

Night play
Size: One-Size-for-Most
My dog like many other dogs loves to play. We needed a ball that fit into the handheld thrower we had but something that we could find it at night. This has been wonderful!

It stopped working after three play sessions
Size: One-Size-for-Most
I thought this ball was great until a week later it stopped blinking and got lost in the snow. We only played with it for three days for 20 minutes at a time. It should’ve lasted a lot longer.

It’s absolutely perfect for fetch in the dark!
Size: One-Size-for-Most
We needed to find a glow in the dark ball to run our over active dog after dark ( gets dark now about 5 pm ish) I was hesitant to buy this ball at first. We went to try it out and it totally blew my expectations! The ball really glows, it’s a durable rubber and when it hits the ground it lights up blue and red. Incredibly satisfied and just ordered 2 more. If you need to run your dog in the dark, this is absolutely for you. Highly recommend it
