dpjpandone,
I was interested in seeing if I can use the camera as the dolly controller.  That way I can use the ETTR to set the exposure and move during the couple seconds between shots.  Might have to look at using a opto detector if that is the only option.  I was going dig into the code (module) and add some hooks for control...  Just wanted to see if it was worthwhile.

itsskin,
How does the hotshoe/ PC port work?  Is it pretty much sending a signal when the flash would go off?

I was looking at building a relatively simple timelapse dolly for doing some night shots.  So I'll only want to move the camera when it isn't taking a picture.

Is there any outputs that I could flip ON/OFF?  (Hot shoe?, USB pins?, mic port?) I want to tell another micro that I'm not currently taking a picture.  Or avoid the extra micro and turn on/off a DC motor (through a little circuit) the appropriate amount of time.

I know there is PTP to communicate, but I thinking I could avoid the complexity of using that.
