Eclair ACL LCD Film Remaining Readout

[Mark <super16acl@aol.com>]

I haven't yet hooked up a digital counter, however I'm thinking that I'd 
replace the on/off switch currently in  my handle with a similar size switch 
with the ability  complete 2 different circuits. One would go to the camera's 
circuit as always to control the camera's run/stop, the other would go to the 
LCD module to trigger the clock on/off. I don't think there should be any 
great difficulty in doing this. 

If the LCD has the ability to be set to count backwards, one could punch in 
the running time of the film load at the start. It would be similar to the 
idea behind the Aaton readout. I just have to hunt around to find out who 
makes the best such LCD module for this application. If anybody else knows, 
please drop a note. Radio Shack has some candidates, but there are probably 
better ones out there. Mark. PS - There are two possible options ---- one is 
to have an LCD on each mag, with a small jack that the second cable from the 
handle plugs into.  The other is to have just one LCD on the camera body --- 
perhaps with several different memory settings for different mags as they are 
snapped on and off.
