I've just added the shema and layout for the master controller. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotoopa_hs/3896289984/ At the end of this week I hope the unit will be build into the box inclusief display. Yes an OS for a network will be fine!

The OS is for a wireless sensor network I'm building for around the house, and yes I agree that it would be too much for the triggers. Hi Frans,

Great to see your progress I’ve been following closely and looking forward to the results.

I'ts a good idea to use the Atmega328p as standard to the new boards. Prize is very low of this chips and they have 2 Kbyte of sram. I've ordered 10 pices also and they will be delivered at the end of September. Especially the 2K bytes ram is nice, so i can raise the resolution to 1 usec of double the max flash range in my case. I doubt the necessity of an extra OS on the unit. Just now all the timings have a resolution of 2 us in my case and the total master program have only 1844 program bytes inclusief all the display functions. No interrupts are used. I have a question about the flash connection on the 3.5 mm stereo phone plug. Have you connected the X signal to the top pin? just to have the same connector wiring on my flashes. Q signal is then the second ring and GND the long part of the phone connector. My software for the master and the slave works now. I've a nice box to put the master and now I build this together. In a few days this must by ready. I always use protoptype PCB with 2.54 mm holes and solder the components. The layout is prepared with the Eagle software. But I never make PCB's. Frans.
