A PIC 16C74A MCU is the brain for the 5 inch pan camera. It is mounted on a daughter card that can be seen below the left edge of the interface PCB in this photograph.
Roll your cursor over the camera image to find hot spots with further details about specific components.
A connector mounted here is used to connect the user interface LCD display screen.
These are 'passive' support components including 4 test points used for evaluating the circuit board.
A potentiometer mounted here below the slit width control knob allows the PIC to monitor the current slit position for use in exposure calculations.
This is the set of four user interface control buttons used to set up the camera for a particular exposure. With them you can set shutter speed, delay before exposure commences (so you will have time to get out of the shot!) and the angle through which the camera will rotate in making the photograph.
This is the "daughter card" that carries the PIC 16C74A Microcontroller and its smaller memory IC. Custom software allows this computer computer system to control and/or monitor the camera's primary functions other than setting lens aperture.
This is the latching coupler that connects with the latch lever on the camera back.
