Let's build a remote start/stop button

[Simon Baechler]

Hi

So I would like to build a remote start/stop button for the red. I can soldier and I know where to get the parts. But I don't just want a simple start/stop button. I want to build one that has a LED that lights up when the camera is rolling. :huh:

So I think I need to add some electronic components to drive the LED. I think a resistor and a transistor, right? While we're at it I could also add an resistor/condensator combination that prevents double-switching. Although this could be done in the Camera firmware, too.

Daniel used the Lens plug for his switch. I would use the ACC plug.

Are there any electronic-savy people out there who could post a wriring diagram?

Here is a thread with a diagram.

I would actually like some help with it - i.e. exactly which pins of the transistor and the diode and the LEDs go to what so maybe we can combine to get some help.

We are very interest to do it If some body can send as what pins i need to use we can begin Let's do it together .

Hello Simon,

How is your downloading station going?
Have a nice shoot with Hans Meier!

See you soon.

It's been decades since I tinkered with electronics so I had to do some research, myself, to remember which end is which. Google is your friend. So, here you go:

diode characteristics and orientation (Googled "diode orientation"):

transistor operation and orientation (Googled "transistor orientation"):

capacitors:

And LED's:

I just received my parts from Allied for the stop/start controller discussed in the other thread.

Thanks for the link. I didn't see that.

Now if someone wants to make print layout for a circuit board this would be it.
Or even better: a series of circuit boards and sell them to us. I think we could all get a case and the components ourselves.

I just ordered a couple of Lemo plugs. Including an EGG.2B.316.CLL. Did you get that, Sean? I'm going to put that in my download station if you help me or not. irate:

Hello Simon,

Patrick

I ordered all the parts. I hope to be able to use it by the end of February.
It's going to rock!

How is your Scratch system coming along?

Think this is the other thread with schematics...

we need a thread showing where to buy ready made one :spidy:

:weight_lift: :ranting2: :blink:

A mix of all these... If you see what I mean... Trying to figure out other options still based on a Scratch system.

(PS: for those not aware about the project (99.9% of poeple in this forum) : it's a financing problem not related to any Assimilate products).

 

[Harry Clark]

PM or email PanaTech. He's making one for me.
Cheers,
Harry

I second that I am not smart enough to make one, but smart enought to buy one.

 

[Wes Printz]

Harry, Yours has left to start on it's journey to you, along with the other cables.

 

[CJ Roy]

Mine should be here soon, as well. Pana-tech has saved my ass.

Prices and pictures, please.

IT WILL be something good if we know its coast ?:mellow:

 

[CJ Roy]

Just got my start/stop cable from pana-tech with a 10m extension. It's great, built solid, highly recommended.

did it coast you a lot ?:blink:

 

[CJ Roy]

Not at all, and well worth it. Probably cheaper than if RED offered one, but I'd rather Pana-Tech give out his own prices.

so is it available for order or you just get one because you know them ?:clown2:
