Interfacing to High Voltage - suggestions?
I need to flash a strobe from a disposable camera. I need suggestions for
parts/circuits that can handle the typical flash voltage.
Can someone help me?
Thanks,

someplace like B&H photo:

If that link doesn't work search for:
Novatron Slave trigger
Mfr Catalog # 4030 * B&H Catalog # NOST
They are about $20.00 and will fire a remote strobe using the light from the
disposable flash.

ago. At any rate, I would use the whole module including the battery -- its
easier.
They have two sets of contacts to deal with. One set activates the circuit
that charges the high-voltage supply, and the other fires the trigger coil.
The charging part could use a regular relay, but the high-voltage part may
require something with a higher rating as its switching about 300-400 volts.
In any event the Stamp could trigger these relays, although I would try to
isolate the pins just in case the high voltage jumps from the contacts to
the coil of the relay.
