YN460 is a nice Chinese made flash for photography. The first hack is to enable controlling the power and flash trigger with Arduino. In the following video, the Arduino runs a 3 second step that trigger at its 7 power level.
Next step, adding network capacity to the flash and control it from iPhone!
Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact used to be a entertainment account it. Look complex to far added agreeable from you! By the way, how could we keep up a correspondence?
感谢您的工作,关于Hacking YN460 flash with Arduino项目 ，确切的问题：
1、驱动YN460时，使用何种形式的引闪器，因为460本身不带PC接口，需要带PC接口的热靴驱动吧？比如海鸥的SC-2？
2、 从arduino输出的信号，经过光隔，是否可以直接驱动引闪器，我看过一些资料，应该不可以。
闪光灯在它的PC同步/热靴接口会有非常高的电压，请问在光藕之后，是否您还采用了某种更强的输出隔离（比如直流控制直流的固态继电器）？
我手头的设备无法测算这个电压。所以希望得到您的帮助。
第一个问题有些冒昧，且不够清晰，所以才再次打扰，如果可能，能否给我看看您的连接简图以及采用的元器件型号。我真的希望学习这个项目。
关于延时我想可以在arduino中调整。所以最想了解的还是从arduino输出到驱动YN460这部分的细节。
再次感谢。
How did you control the YN460 ?
Do you think this can be done using a smaller Atmel-board to integrate it into the housing?
I’m working on a 3D printed alternative housing to include an RF flash trigger, power jack and an integrated umbrella-holder.
