I have been thinking about arranging something like a shooting cable for a reflex camera. Purely mechanic, no software involved. Have not thought much about it, but I don't see why it should not work. Problem is that the cable would be rigid and not to comfortable, and would need to be double if back turning was wanted (which I don't).
The tricky part should be to design an esay to attach and unattach button base for the PRS and a security system to avoid over pressing.
I'll give it some thought, but any idea is welcome.
A normal shooting cable is like 52 cm long and has a conic thread, which makes it easier to screw it to many different nuts or wing nuts or just a hole in metal. I am thinking about some kind of metal clip, like a rectangular tin plate folded in a "c" shape that would hold to the reader from below, so that the back button is free. It would need some, say 3 mm thick rubber piece, to match the round shape of the button on the outside and keep the clip both in place and separated from the button, and a 1 mm rubber piece with some tin on top to push the button. The rubber would protect the button and the tin would protect the rubber from the shooter's poke.
This can be done and it should work, but I'll try to find some easier way to do make it...
Again, suggestions welcome.
