Long time ago I did not do anything to this project. Now I have a little time and I thought I should finish the controller. Since my last post a couple of guys contacted me and we talked about their projects. Interestingly everyone wanted to use the controller for different things. One fellow wants to shoot flying bird photos, another one would like to take shots of jumping grasshoppers. Since these things also interest me, I decided to make the device a bit more generic. I will not integrate the circuits for specific inputs and outputs to the board. Instead I will connect the remaining arduino input/output pins to connectors and put them to the back of the device box. I will build those circuits separately. This way I can change the hardware for different purposes by simply attaching different type of peripheries.
After reviewing my half made board and my last post I found that I have the following pins free:
Digital I/O: 2, 1, 0
Analog input: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I will use the digital pins as digital outputs.
The first two analog pins (0 and 1) will be used for built in potentiometers.
The analog 2 and 3 pins will be configured as digital inputs and they will have similar circuits like the push buttons. The only difference is that we will replace the button with a connector.
The analog 4 and 5 will be directly connected to connectors.
Now, I have plan 
Lets solder!
