Check out Whiternoise over at Hexus.net who has this great post about building a hardware timelapse device using programable chips. He has posted circuit diagrams and great shots of the plastic breadboard set-up.
Looks like a real fun project if you like that type of DIY – the electronics with wires and solder type – and if your Nikon DSLR is one with an IR receiver for a remote; e.g. works with a ML-3.

Yes, to go with my expensive D300 — I now find I have no wireless remote control shutter release. The handly little not-particularly-cheap ML-L3 remote that worked for my D40 is no good for the D300.
Instead I’m supposed to buy an ML-3 remote – which costs about ten times the price. Sure it does a lot more, but I don’t particularly want more, I just want to press a button in my hand while the camera is on a tripod at the other side of the room as I do endless self-portraits while practicing my off-camera lighting.
