it may not be too hard to cut some traces and run a couple jumpers.. i like having everything nice and clean.. and like i said, i enjoy making the boards... later on, i will try to post a pic of my 16f88 controlled lightning trigger for my camera. seems to work using a camera flash, hopefully it will work with lightning....

i used a photocell (resistor) connected to an ADC pic on the PIC, and it takes 2 samples, and compares them. if the second one has a greater value, then it triggers the camera. if i use a flash (disposable camera parts) it will take a picture and capture the flash, so it should be fast enough for lightning...
