Ha. I was looking for this on the internet. Was going to use some IC. But this will do. Gonna Mix it with zigbee to make a wireless remote for the Canon 1000D (Which doesn't have a wireless camera)
I just found this. You wrote that you used a PNP transistor, but the schematic shows an NPN transistor and is biased for an NPN transistor. Did I miss something?
Thanks.
what if my camera emits rf signal for extra external flashs to recieve and flash at the same time with camera , how we can the above idea be utilized ?
i would love to see how is actually connected to the camera trigger do you have any photo? and this can be modify as an external trigger with a switch?
nice macro !
Wow how nice. Any idea how much voltage is needed to trigger it? I could have saved $3 on the relay I bought if I found this earlier!
I used it with a sound sensor but it doesn't quite provide the effect I wanted, perhaps a relay is too slow for my ideas.
Do you know what the trigger voltage is supposed to be?
I read the schematic page and most of my questions were answered woo go reading haha
Excellent instructable, +1. Please post a different schematic for this device. Your's is good, but slightly hard for me to read. Try using Eagle CAD, It'll take a few minutes.

this would be a good generic electric switch module for a microcontroler

im sorry im kind of noobish to this... what exactly does this do?

bc547 IS an NPN transistor, u r correct. and it IS used as a NPN in the schematic, so it probably is just a typo...

That's pretty cool, I guess But I will give you plus 1 because I love seeing people use prefboards/PCB and stuff like transistors.
