Re: [OM] Remote triggering of OM?

[Clay Nichols]

I don't think a "pulse" is needed to fire the winder. I constructed a a cable 
release for my winder (now in Dawid's able hands) using a simple Radio Shack 
switch which only closed momentarily. No batteries were used to provide a 
pulse. Just closing the wiring loop fires the winder.

I've tried using the Eb*y wireless flash triggers as a remote control for
the OM winders and motordrives.  In theory it should work, but the pulse is
of too short duration.  The md/winder only activates part way and a second
trigger is necessary to complete the operation.

I think somebody managed to extend the pulse duration enough to make this
work by putting a small capacitor across the leads.  I'd be very interested
in getting this to work with my OM system as I frequently have use for
remote triggering of cameras.
