I plan to attach two mini usb cables from the cameras to the usb splitter below:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121284805271?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I plan to trigger the cameras using a usb foot pedal: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261319744510?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
This leaves the issue of power. It seems to be the consensus that a max of 3v can be used to trigger one A1400. I had thought of using a 6v battery as a power source.
However, I would also like to explore the option of using a mains power source. I have very basic electronic skills, but was wondering whether it might be possible to use a unit like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/350971579267?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&rlsatarget=&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0
By hacking a mains unit, I wouldn't have the replace batteries on a regular basis.
Would such a set-up a) work, b) be safe, or would I be better off just using a battery?
Just to check, would it be OK to use the usb splitter I've bought below using 3xAA batteries,
or would it be better to buy one without a power supply,
Hi, that's great, I'll do so accordingly. Or I guess I could cut the cable before it reaches the 12v to 5v converter?
