| Figure 2: Bigshot's electronics components |
Bigshot's electronics components, some of which are shown in Figure 2, can be divided into 3 categories: photo capturing components, interface components,
and the microcontroller. The photo capturing components (including the image sensor, camera flash, and memory) are responsible for capturing
and storing photos. The interface components (including the
mode dial, the shoot button, the LED indicators, the buzzer, and the USB) allow the photographer to interact
with Bigshot. For example, the photographer controls Bigshot using the mode knob and
shoot button and gets feedback from Bigshot using the buzzer and LED.
The microcontroller acts as the brain of the entire camera and coordicates its operations.
