and the video

Desmond,
Congratulations. Your project is a success. I can see the potential for some unique photographs.

I just watched the video. You are very innovative. Thanks for sharing it.

If the remote is set to fire when it receives power, it would be able to more than 1 exposure which is ideal for wildlife photographers!

Maybe a hawk feeding off some roadkill ..... .

Hopefully I can get it to trigger at longer distances - at the moment it needs a fairly large object reasonably close ..... but I suppose wildlife is fairly large

another great project from you desmond! you always come up with some cool ideas!
thanks for sharing!

Desmond, how about those home alarm motion sensor things? Don't they have quite a decent sensor range 5m+? They don't turn on for 20secs though. Just an idea.

That may be my next approach , this cheap sensor doesn't have a very good range .

This is my next 'victim' . I actually need to get hold of the door sensor that chimes each time someone walks past because this thing is an alarm that needs to be reset each time .
BUT : I tested it outside in direct sunlight and it still detected me walking past 5 metres away !



And it has this plug for an external speaker - no ripping its guts out this time [ slightly disappointing but I'll live with it ]
