Step 2Prototyping
This is where you need a protoboard (breadoard.) Michelle hooked me up with one and I'm thankful for it. The plugging in of things shouldn't be hard if you know how a protoboard works. If not go here.
The tricky part here is attaching the plug for the camera. When you crack open the microphone on your headset, you should see a tiny board like the one below. Your model may vary, but they usually have 3 wires. Those wires control the shutter and focus on your camera. Plug it in to your camera to find out which one is ground, which is focus, and which is shutter. This will be important later, so mark then, or write down which color is which.
When it's time to attach the headset wires to the board, you're going to need to attach them to some stronger wire. If they came coated with blue or red, they will be hard to solder, but persevere with lots of heat, abrasion, and patience and they will connect. Double check the wires work as expected with your camera.
