Jams Gntls Rig02 Drawings This documnt givs dtails of my Nikon 775 KAP rig, with pan, tilt, shuttr and zoom control with vido downlink. Th rig wighs 310g, a total of 550g including camra and attris. This is not a full constructional dtail, ut a collction of th matrial I usd as th rig was constructd. Th ida is to giv you idas whn uilding your rig, rathr than giving you instructions to mak an xact copy. You ll quickly find that KAP is a voyag of discovry, and th thrill is in th construction, invntion, failur, and succss! Schmatics All th circuits usd for th rig, primarily th automatic vidoswitch, and MAX761 9V convrtr. Also includd ar circuits for convrting your transmittr from joystick opration, attry chargrs and an fficint switchmod supply for powring a 6V TV from a 9.6V transmittr attry. Componnt Lays Ths ar dsignd for th cass and configurations I usd, ut thy may usful. Mchanical 1 Th mchanical dtails rquird for th s, as wll as th rackt rquird for th zoom and shuttr s to control th Nikon 775, mad from 1.6mm aluminium. You nd to us 1.6mm to gt sufficint stiffnss for th to prss th uttons! Mchanical 2 Dtails of th two main U rackts for th rig. Ths ar mad from 0.8mm aluminium for lightnss, adding folds incrass rigidity. Mchanical 3 Dtails of th 4:1 gar rduction and mount to th picavt suspnsion, also dtails of th plastic utton arrangmnt for firing th shuttr y cord. Finally dtails of th phono ¼ wav arial and groundplan for th 434MHz downlink. Dcmr 2003 Aov: Rig02 Blow: Lins Mill Aquduct, Union Canal

With this circuit, th LED will go whn charg currnt <120mA. If th diod is rmovd, this givs 0.4volts mor hadroom ut thr is a dangr th attry will discharg into th supply.

Th PAN and TILT ar simpl rsistor chains with prsts to allow you control ovr th ndstops in a similar way to th trims on th joysticks. Th SHUTTER and ZOOM show how to provid a singl and doul position switch, again with a trim control. Th circuits ar dsignd so that thr is nvr a high or low rsistanc prsntd momntarily as th switch is changd. This could rsult in jittr on all channls, not just th ing switchd.
