Are these your pics, 'cause if they are...Originally Posted by dragons_fire
COOL...just plain COOL!
Can you keep triggering the shutter for like 5 seconds (give or take) after the initial hit? Might get some neat shots there too...

im using a rebel XT, it will take aprox. 3 Pictures a second.
two of those pics were taken out my bedroom window, and the other was on a camping trip. it was on the other side of the lake. usually i take around 500 pictures during a thunderstorm, and i get about 15 "ok" pics of lightning...
this trigger im making, uses one of about 10 16f88s i have laying around, a 9V battery and it all fits inside an altoids container that i made a mount for to fit on the hotshoe of my camera. if it doesnt work for lightning, i will just modify it to fire a flash to use as a slave.
thought i would mention that the wire o nthe left side of those pics, is a wire for my video camera that i had mounted on the roof that i wanted to eventually stream onto the internet.. another one of my projects that never got finished...

If the photocells don't respond fast enough, I wonder if using a photodiode, prebiased with a little bit of voltage, connected to an A/D input, continuously sampled would respond fast.
It would be neat if I could get pictures like that, but I live in a bit of a valley with trees all around. Not much of a horizontal view unless I get up about 100ft...at least I get deer walking thru the yard every morning and evening.

yeah, there not bad. i would like to take better pics, but i like being in the safety of my house.. when we get thunderstorms, we usually get some hail with it.. i would like to go out in my sidekick to somewhere good, but im afraid of the hail going through my soft top.
i think i finally got everything with the 6585 right now.. thanks to everyone for all the help.. im just looking through old threads trying to figure out how to get rid of the "warning[230]" config message...

An upgrade to PBP 2.47 should get rid of it from what I've heard.
I'm still running 2.46 (no need for the upgrade yet and I'm a bit lazy), I just ignore the errors.

i just went in and edited the inc file... added "w = -230"
no more errors..
hopefully i will have a new PIC by wednesday, so i can put this all together and maybe get it moving...

Are you just going to 'fix' the old board or what?
