Olympus Evolt E510 Remote Cable Release (Version 2 with Auto Focus on Remote)

Step 1Gather Your Materials

Gather Your Materials
For this project you will need:

  • A prepared 12 pin remote cable. Follow the Olympus Evolt E510 Remote Cable Release instructions through step 8. Then return to this Instructable to complete the release. Check ebay for cables. I have found that most Olympus cameras use the same 12 pin connector as the Evolt series.
  • An enclosure for housing your project such as Herseys Ice Breakers Sours Gum
  • Two SPST Momentary push button switches Radio Shack PN 275-1571
  • Radio Shack Multi Purpose PC board PN 276-150
  • One DPDT slide switch Radio Shack PN 275-403
  • Hookup Wire (22 gauge works well)
  • 2 6-32 1/4" machine screws and nuts (for securing the switch)
  • Small zip tie
  • Dremle Tool or similar high speed rotary cutting device with ceramic cutting blade for cutting PC board
  • Drill
  • Utility knife
  • Soldering iron with pencil type tip
  • Solder
  • Screw drivers
  • Needle nose pliers or forceps
  • Implements of Destruction (As this was made on Thanksgiving, an Arlo Tribute was necessary.)
