Left: Sky view of frame assembly with camera installed with a single 1/4-20 bolt on the bottom. Above the rewind arm is the larger servo for advancing the film in two half winds. Just to the left of the camera body is a second smaller servo which controls a bellcrank rod which pulls the lever down to push the shutter button. Below is the microprocessor that will be used to control the entire camera.

Close up of the servo and music wire control rod that pulls down on the shutter lever to press the button.

Rear view of the setup, showing the arrangement for advancing a non motor drive camera with a lever with a pin on it. Two winds of about 92 degrees each are required for a full wind. A current limit is used on the motor to keep it from ripping off the wind arm!
