AIO remote slave flash, WHAT THE HECK

[rick]

Hey guys, the PT is in correct.
I only have the components that you need to build a remote slave.
D5 D6
C7 C8 C9 C10
U3 U4 U5
R10,11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Q1 Q4 Q5
A 20X2 chip and 6pin op have I missed something?
And yes the led flashes two times after the flash.

Don't think the light should blink after the slave fires, that usually means an error somewhere.

[rick]

Could be, now I can make it flash with out a pt hooked to the board. WEIRD

[johnnydeerhunter]

can you post up some close ups of the board?

[rick]

Well I got it to work, it turns out I was sent the wrong 20 pin chips. Instead of the 20x2 I was sent the 20m chips I will be sending those back.
I am going ahead and adding pic so everyone can see an AIO remote board.
Thanks for you help its always good to have another set of eyes looking at something.

After more testing and some reassembling the flash will only work if you us a separate power supply for the cap.
I'm going to change out the 2800 and see if that make a difference. also the chips were the 20x2.

[johnnydeerhunter]

Two things I see are the pt is laying over the flash and very close to cap, that could be giving you issues as well as the flash cap so close to the board, it may be resetting the board after it triggers. I had some similar issues with a complete Aio board so I'm curious as to what you find. I had to change some code in my dip delays for the camera on a program that was previously working in another build to get it to function properly.

You shouldnt have to seperate the poer supplies for it to work so something is screwing up there for ya. Also, did you change the PT's resistor on the board to make it more sensative for remote slave use? Without my notes in front of me, I think its R14 or R15 is the one that gets changed to a 10K resistor.

[rick]

JDH the pt is just laying there it's not where it was when doing the testing.
Bowgod I changed R11 to 10K but no other.

[bowgod02]

Yep, thats the one...


Also, if you put in R18 and R19 you'll be able to program right on the board instead of taking the chip out each time you want to make any changes to the program.
