    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:

    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!

    Thanks,
    Felipe

      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.
