Hi All
I'm buzy building a lightning trigger that can be connected with my Canon 500D D-SLR.
I have tested (not with actual lightning yet but with another camera flash) Circuit 2 without the 555 one shot section, but I'm sure with the one shot section added it will be a bit better.
But here is my question, do you think I need to add a amp/gain section as shown in Circuit 1, or will this be a waste?
I'm hoping to eventually use the circuit (without the one shot) on a PIC with an LCD.
Any feedback or assistance will be extremely greatful.
