The PixController
Universal board has an on-board 2.5mm stereo connector, which
can be configured for a LANC port, RS-232 port, or RSS port
with the solder jumpers J1 - J9. By using your soldering iron
you can build a solder bridge over the desired jumper. Below
is a list of the jumpers and what control each jumper
performs.
LANC and ACC
Terminal Configuration
Solder Jumper: J1, and J7
RS-232 Configuration (Olympus cameras such as
the D-340R and D-360L)
Solder Jumpers: J3, J5, J9
RSS Configuration (requires putting a 2.5mm
female connector in the camera (Part No. CAB001)
Solder Jumpers: J2, J5, J8
Sony DSC-PXX, Sony U30, RSP3i, Minolta X20, and
other Power On/Off Camera Control

Connector Wiring" listed at the bottom of this page

How to make a solder jumper
When soldering a jumper you must
connect both pads with solder to make a good connection. This
is known as a solder bridge. To do this heat up the pad with
the tip of your soldering iron and then apply solder. Simply
drag the tip of your iron to the other pad and adding solder
at the same time. You will get a small bubble of solder
connecting the pads.

and J7.

J5, and J9.
2.5mm Cable Information
The included 2.5mm cable with your
PixController Universal kit can be cut and soldered into the
camera port if you desire other uses.
New Style Cable
The Base Ring is the
Copper solder braid.
Mid Ring is the Red wire.
Tip is the White wire.
Old Style Cable
The Base Ring is the
Copper solder braid.
Mid Ring is the White wire.
Tip is the Red wire.
Note2: If you re-configure the
2.5mm port you MUST remove any previous solder jumpers first.

On/Off 2.5mm
Connector Wiring
Shown in the diagram
below marked "Wiring
Diagram for On/Off Camera Control using the 2.5mm connector" shows
you how to wire the 2.5mm connector to be used with the Sony
DSC-PXX-U, RSP3i-U, Minolta-U, Sony DSC-UXX, and all on/off type
camera controls except for the RSP4i-U camera control. You simply
add small gauge wires as shown below from the Camera Connector to
the pads on the 2.5mm connector. Be sure you do not have any solder
jumpers in place. If you do you will need to remove them.
You can add the 2.5mm female stereo connector inside your camera if
you like. Just make sure you connect the appropriate connections
inside the camera. This works well for the Sony DSC-P32, Sony
DSC-P41, Olympus D-380, D-370, Minolta X20, and other cameras. This
makes the best connection between the camera and cable for a clean
setup. We highly recommend this over servo
cables which can fail due to too many cable insertions.
