Tiny Controller March 21
This is the concept diagram for a tiny controller with 12 pins — one side has two servo connections, one for pan one for servo. It’ll take 2.7v to 5.5v (a slight variation in hardware would get me 1.8v to 5.5v). The basic idea is that you can either just plug it into the power, and it’ll start autokapping (nothing fancy, just a pan and a shutter) or you can hook a button into it, and when you push the button it’ll trigger the servo and stop being in the autokap mode.
The idea here is to have a controller that’ll either work for the bamboo pole, or for the ultralight autokap rig.
The really cool part with this design is that the programming pins on the AVR are all presented on the pins, so you can reprogram it without taking it apart.
