[Toby] has an Elinchrom EL-Skyport, which is a wireless flash trigger. He decided to see if he might activate it utilizing an Arduino, as well as came up with a nice proof of concept. This little gadget was not indicated to be individual serviceable, as can be seen in what [Toby] uncovered while taking it apart. however when he had it disassembled, he cataloged whatever inside, as well as then he awesomely went to the difficulty of drawing up a schematic. keeping that knowledge, he began reverse engineering the SPI protocol used, which almost should have an article by itself.
It was a long road to get there, however in the end [Toby] built a prototype Arduino shield that houses an nRF24L01+ module. These are extremely affordable to pick up on eBay. He gives us the details on hooking up the module, though he had to go with additional hoops since he was utilizing the Arduino Leonardo. Still, when you’re up as well as running, you can make utilize of one of the existing libraries particularly for this module.
Thanks to his effort, the rest of us have one more gadget to hack on. thanks [Toby]!
