ghoot

Started going to the casino a few months ago. So far I have made more there than in the stock market. Shows you what kind of investor I am. LOL. Sounds interesting though, but chances are about 99% that I'll pick the worst one.

I think the voltage coming out of the 14 pin chip should be about half of the voltage that you are running the circuit off of. So say you are running on 5V, you should be getting roughly 2.5V. So something above that would make the picaxe pin go HIGH and below that would make it go LOW.

What did you have to change on programming your PICAXE?

Thanks for the help on the code Ralph. Did you use the DXG 125 program? Did you have to increase the time to hold power to shut it off?

Dang man, didn't know you were going through all of that, but sure glad that you are still with us! Have you ever looked into fasting? I saw a show the other day on Netflix or Amazon about fasting and how it can kill cancer cells and also makes them more susceptible to the chemo treatments. Was really interesting. Of course after losing all of that weight, fasting is probably the last thing you need right now! Praying for you man.

Increase the 1.5 sec delay to 3 and see how it goes. Then if that works you can try 2.

buckhuntertrailcam, you mentioned the SSII, but you are using the LCD board correct?

Yes sir, that's the correct chip, and as JDH mentioned, the switch on the SS1 only turns off motion detection, not power to the board, so it will still refresh the camera. Has this one worked before, or are you just setting it up? Maybe shutter and power are swapped?

No sir, don't think I have it.

I probably have an opto here I can send you if you want.

Jonnie, To add this to any of the programs, right below these lines: lowpower: IF MotionSensorInputPin=1 Then Paste this: High LEDpin Pause 1000 Low LEDpin

See if the camera works when the board is off by jumping across the camera connections on the board, just to make sure there isn't an issue there. Since it is detecting motion now, it could be that the optocoupler is bad. try reflowing the solder on it again (little 8 pin white chip).

Might try reflowing the solder points on the board and see what that does.

Chris was the best. Probably contributed more here than anyone else, and was a man of strong character. I got to meet him and Peggy once, both wonderful people. Gonna miss ol' 212.

Nice!
