Since publishing
the Camera Trigger wiring, elactronic parts and bill of material I found that a substitute for the
indicated interval timer can be found from All Electric. The Vellerman #MK111
Interval Timer can be substituted for the one shown on the electronic parts list BOM. It
has an adjustable contact closure time of 0.5 – 5 seconds and a interval between
pulses of 2.5-to 60 seconds. It works on 12 volts also. The timer is available
from All Electronics for about $10.00. There is no guarantee that they will be
in stock when you need them. Just go to their
electronics parts
website and while there order their free catalog.
Wildlife photographers, now you can position your Trail Camera on the side of the trail then position as many game camera's in other locationsas desired.
