Hi, thanks for the cool project, I'm starting to put it together.
Would be possible to add a single pin out on/off to the system? That would
allow using a remote shutter on cameras that do not have an ASCOM driver
(for instance, my Fujis), by attaching the pin to a MOSFET or controlling a
relay. Wiring for most cameras that use a P2 connector look like this: [image: index.jpg]
The "focus" functions is not needed, obviously.
I wish I could do that myself but I'm a complete fail as programmer. But I
can donate to the project!
It is possible that this might best be handled by a seperate board
What ESP chip are you using esp32 or esp8266?
It might be possible to make a little daughter board containing an esp32, power and relay(s).
The main controller could easily be extended to send a command via wifi to the daughter board which then activates the relay.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hi Felipe
I can do this. Details will be posted soon, if you want more details please email me direct - my email address is in the firmware file
