DIY ST-E2!
Over the weekend, I successfully programmed an MSP-430 to transmit the same IR signal that I captured from my Canon ST-E2 flash sync transmitter. Here's proof.
You can see how I've been using my camera as a sort of outboard memory for the oscilliscope. The scope is hooked up to the photosensor in my MAKE: strobe controller- it was the only sensor I had handy. The photosensor, in turn, is looking at the IR LED I soldered onto an MSP430. That MSP430 is plugged into an ez430 programmer, which is plugged into my computer.
Finally, when I point it at my flash, it flashes! I don't know why my camera only seemed to capture ghost images of the flash, though.
