About: Hi, I'm Eunchan Park from S.Korea. I have 3 missions Making Happy Things, Sharing How To Make Happy Things, Copying Happy Things Maker for the world's Happiness In order to pursue my mission, I have a big goal…

These days, I am into making Instructables, youtube videos, and blog posts.

To make the blog post productive, it is essential to take a lot of pictures as detail as possible. It is not that easy to do because a human being has only two hands. I needed to take photo at the same time I make something, solder some parts, and so on. I wish I could have more hands. One day, I found that I drove my car on my foot! Wow, amazing! I got an idea that it would be great if I take a picture with a pedal. I searched a pre-made product, but there wasn’t. I decided to make it by myself. I’m going to share how to make it. By the way, it is under $5.

It was hard to solder it because the space was so narrow.

The button doesn’t have any direction. You don’t need to care about the color of the cables.

Temporary put the battery on the board and turn on the power.
