Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E.

Timer for Darkroom Camera Shutter This circuit was designed to control a film exposure shutter for a darkroom.  It has 8 time steps ranging from 0.35 seconds to 4 seconds.  It is activated by a foot switch and draws power from an external 12-volt DC supply . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.-June, 2000

Xenon Photoflash Controller This 9v battery powered circuit is designed for remote control flash needs.  A charge control circuit turns off the high voltage generator when the photoflash capacitor is fully charged.  A neon lamp is included to indicate when the system is ready to flash. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-June, 2000

Simple Circuit phototimer controls load 04/18/02 EDN-Design Ideas In industrial and home applications, the need sometimes exists for a device that, after activation by some physical effect, such as light, temperature, or sound, switches a load on for a predetermined time.  The load, such as a lamp, motor, solenoid, or heater, usually derives its power from the ac line__ Circuit Design by Abel Raynus, Armatron International, Melrose, MA

Simplery for cellular-telephone/camera-flash illumination 05/27/04  EDN-Design Ideas Successfully implementing flash lamps involves understanding numerous practical considerations.  Next-generation cellular telephones will include high-quality photographic capabilities.  To support their improved image sensors and optics, they will need high-quality "flash" illumination, which requires special design attention.  This lighting is crucial for yielding good photographic performance and requires careful consideration.__ Circuit Design by Jim Williams, EDN's most revered contributor, passed away in June 2011 after a stroke.  He was 63.

Slave Flash Trigger This is the Richard R.  Bucciarelli Slave Flash Trigger circuit, which can be built entirely from Radio Shack parts.  It senses a camera flash and will trigger another flash that has some sort of input conection that one shorts to trigger a flash. __ Designed by Don Klipstein

Slave Flash Trigger for Digital Cameras The synchronizer ensures a contact-free, optical synchronization of external photographic flashguns.  The triggering of the external flash is derived from embedded flashes of a camera.  It can be used for both digital and "analogous" cameras or for a remote synchronization of the actual flash units.  Its use is optimal especially with digital cameras (DC), where extraordinary adaptability for different systems will stand out.  It is capable of eliminating the effect of any measuring pre-flashes.  The synchronizer thus perfectly fulfils the role of a device often called the Slave Flash Trigger (SFT) __ Designed by © Pavel Janko

Slave flash trigger with counting logic Does your camera's flash operate in red-eye reduction (multiple flash) mode only? This clever unit counts the number of "pre-flashes" before triggering a slave flash unit. __ Designed by Jim Rowe

Solar Powered Infrared 1W Security Camera Illuminator Many security cameras are equipped with an array of infrared LEDs to illuminate an area in front of the camera with invisible light for night time surveillance.    However, there are times when a remote area, well away from the camera, needs additional infrared light.    The circuit below uses a modified solar powered path light to bathe a fairly large area with 850nm infrared light. . .

Time-lapse photography with a QuickCam Something I've wanted to do for quite some time is a time lapse movie of a static view, spanning an entire year.  It could be presented in a number of ways, for example a fast 12-second (30fps) view of one exposure at noon every day, or a longer sequence covering all the daylight hours, equalized for brightness, or an even longer one covering all hours.  Also I would want to make a 2-dimensional graphic, 365x240 pixels, one for every 10 minutes of the year, with the pixel colour being the average colour of a small patch of sky. __ Designed by Markus Wandel

Universal Exposure Timer & Event Counter This page is the result of a lot of effort over the past couple years to develop a quality, inexpensive device to test shutters on the classic film cameras that I have been using.  The latest design I have developed uses a micro-controller to time and capture the events and upload to a computer with a serial interface.  It turns out that with a simple plug in sensor, I have come up with several potential alternate uses for the exact same design __ Designed by Mike  last name not found

Wireless Camera In general, avoid wireless cameras that transmit video, especially on 2.4 GHz.  They tend to interfere with wireless routers.  On the other hand, there are excellent wireless cameras that will work with your wireless router.  Here's a picture of our hallway from a WiFi camera that cost under $100 __ Contact: Charles Wenzel of Wenzel Associates, Inc.
