I didn't bother to clean up from the hot glue, but it would all come off if I used my fingernails

the completed unit. Momentary switch brings the AF/exposure line to ground, toggle switches the shutter.

the pins that I removed from a PS2-like connector (actually, I think it was an old-style Mac serial cable, but the same sort of pins are used)
