Intervalometer for Canon and Nikon cameras

Step 6 Connect board to LCD screen

The intervalometer board connects to the LCD module with 11 pins - broken into a 5 pin and 6 pin header.

First, install the headers into the intervalometer board.  They should be installed on the front of the board (soldered on the back) such that the pins extend up from the front of the board.

Once the headers are installed in the board, place the LCD module over the pins.  Again, just to be sure, the LCD module is mounted on top of the intervalometer board, not behind it.  On some LCD modules, the locking tabs for the LCD shroud may be in the way slightly and prevent the LCD from seating all the way down onto the intervalometer board.  If this is the case, bend the tabs slightly so that they do not interfere.

Complete all the solder connections on the headers.

Now it's time to install the red LED.   The thin part of the front of this LED protrudes through the case, so it needs to be mounted fairly high.  Mount it such that the shoulder that's below the thin part is even with the front of the LCD screen.   When inserting the LED, make sure the long lead is on the rounded side of the silkscreen and the short lead is on the flat side.
