Markus was kind enough to send me this version and I installed it on my just delivered M5Stack. I contacted Markus to get the Arduino code, since the link was broken on his website and he showed me the current status of his timer, which looks really polished with really nice graphics and super sleek user interface. A small enough housing with integrated lcd, buttons, battery and charging circuit. While looking for other options I came across a Project from Markus Kail which looked promising.

If I build something, I also want to mess around with the code. There are smaller Versions now available through the LRT Forum but the one I am interested in, is closed source at the moment, and that doesn’t fit my style. I could have just built a LRTimelapse Remote Timer Free but I dislike the 2×40 Display, the outdated Arduino Uno and the size of it.
LRTIMELAPSE PRO TIMER 2.5 HOW TO
Gunther Wegner, the man behind LRTimelapse also has a very nice Tutorial on how to build your own Intervalometer which exceeds my build by miles in terms of features.

EURO 175,– it is not on the cheap side, but I guess it’s worth every cent. The only off the shelf Intervalometer that looks like a winner is the LRTimelapse Pro Timer 2.5. With a price of ca. The most annoying thing for instance is not being able to light up the display of a timer while it is running.

I have of course not tried all remote timers, but I tried some and none of them really fit my needs. On the other end there are cheap offerings, but then they lack a feature that I would like to have. There are quite some commercial products available which sound nice on paper, but for me they offer too much options which I mostly will never use.
