WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: ADVANCED DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECTS The 15 functions can be divided into four groups: bulb mode bracketing programs for HDR photography, interval and timer modes, sensor modes and other functions like manual camera triggering or configuration. Many of the modes have some hidden advanced options, but I paid great attention not to obscure their usability.

Instead of the boring "ding-dong" you can play your favourite song, a cool 303 acid sound, a Stephen Hawking phrase, a drum solo, animal sounds or what ever comes into your mind.

WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: TUBENETRADIO TubeNetRadio - The Raspberry Pi powered tube radio. The idea of building a DIY internet radio embedded in an old tube radio came across my mind a long time ago. Unfortunately back than setting up Linux on an ARM system was something for the real hackers. I saw no chance to finish such a project with a good result in a reasonable

time.

WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: SMATRIG 2.1 This is the project home page of the SmaTrig 2.1, the improved version of the the SmaTrig 2.On this site you will find complete instructions how to use and build the versatile and compact (27 gram) 15-in-1 camera trigger SmaTrig 2.1. WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: SANDBOX The dimensions of my box are 216 x 175 x 90 mm (ca. 8.5 x 7 x 3.5 inch) for a 225 mm disk, see CAD image below. I'd recommend now to build the box sightly wider to be able to use the full disk width even with the fence attached. WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: ADVANCED DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECTS Created Date: 12/8/2008 2:48:09 PM WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: SHUTTER LAG MEASUREMENTS FOR CANON EOS The shutter lag varies around 115 ms for the case without mirror lock-up. Enabling the lock-up mode reduces the lag almost by a factor of two to about 66 ms. An interesting fact revealed by the test is that the shutter lag is not constant. A lag of 65 ms is an average value, but good enough to use the camera with a lightning trigger. WWW.DOC-DIY.NET :: SMATRIG The four output pins of the code switch are connected to I/O pins to allow detection of the current operation mode. At the same time a connection to the battery is provided for at least one I/O pin in all modes except for the off-position (position 0 - binary 0000) of the

switch.
