Controlling a RunCam2 Camera Directly from an Arduino

[rgsparber]

A RunCam2 camera is popular with people that build and fly hobby drones. It is low cost and high performance. However, it has buttons to be pushed before it can start recording video or stills.

A Pro Micro is an Arduino compatible computer system that is popular with computer and electronics hobbyists. It is low cost and high performance.

What could be a more natural pairing than to have a Pro Micro control a RunCam2? Well, it turned out to be a fun, and useful, challenge.
