I need help understanding how the circuit(s) in a flash unit taken from a digital camera work. My objectives are as follows
1- discover where to tie in leads to charge the capicitor (& voltage needed - I'm assuming 4.7v & 3.0v, the camera's power supplies)
2- discover how to trigger the flash, ie closing a circuit?, opening a circuit?, appyling a signal voltage?
Any help or just telling me where to go (URL's) LOL would be greatly appriciated.
The flash unit on the left is from a SONY DSC-W55 (part #ST-133), the one on the right is form a Canon SD 500. If I could find the pin outs for the ribbon cable conectors on these I think I could figure it out, but i have had no luck tracking these down anywhere.
Regards
