I recently bought a wemacro rail which works well with my Sony camera but was a bit inconvenient with my digital microscope. The digital microscope software takes a picture when a screen button is clicked. I found that this tended to cause vibration, better if I could stand away from the table . Also it was tedious on a large number of steps.
So I knocked up a simple pcb.
Actually it is a true Cap’n Bodge-it job. Just an old USB mouse board with a 2.5mm jack plug soldered across the LH mouse microswitch. Windows doesn’t mind an extra mouse, it just takes the command from the most recent event so I can point the real mouse’s pointer at the screen button and let this board do the clicking under control from the wemacro controller. I’ll disable the LEDs and put it in a little project box sometime.
One lead plugs into the wemacro controller and the other into a usb port and it works perfectly.
