Folks,
I am looking for an easy electronic circuit that close a switch. Here is what I want to do...
I would like to take pictures of lighting storm. My idea is to trig the opening of my camera when light from the storm is detected. So, I need do build a circuit that does the following :
- 1 - detect visible light
- 2 - close a switch (= the switch of my ML-L3 Nikon wireless remote control, not the switch of my camera...)
Well, this project is surely not difficult for most of you but I am not very good in electronics... I guess it takes a diode to detect the light, a transistor to amplify the output current of the diode and a electro-mechanical switch.
Thanks for your help,
