The User Control Switch (SW1) will let you customize your time-lapse control board. Here you can adjust the time delay between pictures, operating only at day, night, or 24 hours, capturing
Digital Still’s or Movie Files, and turning the control board LED’s on or off. The PIR motion sensing circuit on your PixController board will not be used in time-lapse mode, therefore you should put switch 9 up, which will turn off the PIR green LED.
Note1: When turning power on to your Universal board with the time-lapse PIC chip installed the red LED will turn on for about 3 seconds. This will let you know that the system is doing a self check. Next the LED will turn off for about 1 second, then turn on again for another 30 seconds before the camera becomes active. After this time period the first photo will be taken, then the controller will go into a sleep mode until the next photo interval is set to happen.
