- Sparkfun RTC Module (DS1307)
- Camera connector (2.5mm headphone jack ready for the camera or 2.45mm-pitch port delivering the raw Arduino signals)
- Motor connector (generic 2.45mm-pitch port or 4P4C jack)
- Limit switch connector (generic 2.45mm-pitch port)
The hardware is licensed under the CERN open hardware license v1.1. The license, the CAD files as well as the BOM can be downloaded here (Right click » Save as...):
