Hi,
this is just an idea and may have been done before. My mate like me is a keen photographer, he uses a lot of flash, now building a flash slave/trigger is easy. But modern digital cameras use a number of pre-flashes to pre-focus, exposure and reduce red-eye. He has build a slave and has to guess the number of pre -flashes and set it on a DIL switch, a bit hit and miss
Could we use the count function to count pre-flashes + main flash, on a TEST! setting, then the Picaxe would remember this (in W0/B0, etc) and fire the flash on the right count! I don't see a problem do you??
Comments welcome,
Regards
