The guts of GB's AuRiCo module. I want to make it possible to swap this module for an R/C module which will be exactly the same, connector wise. So the pinning must be the same as well. From right to left: 4 x 3 pins for the power supply, PAN servo, TILT servo and shutter servo or IR LED.

On the left there's a small 5 VDC power supply output for an optional videolink transmitter. Before the 5VDC is exited it's filtered since the servos might produce some ripple. That will most certainly cause annoying distortion on the video signal.

The case is 72x50x22 mm

Same configuration as the AuRiCo module but made for controlling the rig from ground level.
