Version 2 arrives...

The V2 PCB arrived from Silver Circuits last week. I am quite satisfied with performance after preliminary tests using Canon 5D MK3, 7D and Nikon D3100.

This circuit is a much more efficient board layout and dimensions come in at 8cm x 6cm. The LCD is an 8x2 type which is sufficient for display and settings.

Version 2 PCB with V0.96a software
This photo was taken using a DSLR with a radio trigger. Settings were 1/200 @ f2.8 with the flash set to 1/64th power, bounced at the ceiling. You can see the green LED within the rotary encoder is illuminated showing a flash has been detected.

I have added a second 3.5mm input to the PCB (center jack socket on the left) for expansion purposes I will go into later.
