As a keen amateur photographer, I used to have a studio setup using slave flash triggers. However some dirty mongrel burgled my house and stole all my camera gear.
I've replaced most of it but the flash triggers are now about $70 each so I want to build a few.
Searching the net, all I can find are silly PIC contolled units and others that require batteries.
The originals, used on cheap small flash units, used the 200-400 volts of the flash capacitors for power, this appears on the flash trigger lead; no extra wiring was involved, you just plugged the flash into the trigger unit and the main flash would set them all off.
Anyone out there have a circuit for such a beast?
