The miniE shield is designed as an Arduino shield that holds all required hardware components to sport the miniEngine motion-control-system for timelapse photography. These components are contained in the set:

• 1x miniE shield v1.3 PCB
• 2x optocoupler (OK1, OK2)
• 2x 470 Ω (R1, R2)
• 2x 20k Ω (R3, R4)
• 1x Camera jack - 2.5mm audio jack (CAM)
• 1x screw terminal - 3 pin
• 1x screw terminal - 4 pin
• 2x stackable header - 6 pin
• 2x stackable header - 8 pin

The following components can be placed on the shield:

• Easydriver v4.4
• Sparkfun RTC Module (DS1307)
• 2.45mm-pitch port delivering the raw Arduino camera signals
• Motor connector (generic 2.45mm-pitch port or 4P4C jack)
• Limit switch connector (generic 2.45mm-pitch port)
