Hello,
I started a technology club in our local community and am doing a motion analysis workshop. Basically, a microphone picks up a sound from an event (balloon popping, firecracker, etc), triggers a flash and a camera with the aperture gets painted the scene. It makes for some very interesting pictures of things exploding, coming apart, etc.
I purchased a kit but for the life of me cannot get the circuit to work. The circuit basically shorts a disposable camera flash. I can get that to work by shorting to wires to the disposable camera.
I have attached the circuit diagram that came with the kit along with my breadboard.
Can anyone help me in figuring out why this will not short the disposable camera flash when it picks up a sounds?
I am new to electronics (software background), so any information on the circuit or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
