Hi, I am hoping that this question is not too stupid!!! I have looked through the manuals.....
On the project boards (the 18 for example) the outputs from the darlington chip are negative (0 volts) and then there is a common + rail. My problem is that I have a camera with three connections - a common ground (0 Volts) and the other two 'trigger' lines ( 1 to activate and 2 fire the camera) are positive. So I can't connect the two trigger lines to the darlington chip outputs. I also need to keep the two lines separate and so it's of no use connecting them both to the positive rail.
The more I look at it, the more I wonder! Is this not a very common problem with the way these outputs are designed???
Sorry, if I am not seeing the obvious answer!!!
Many thanks, Bruce
