    Gareth its a camera problem was using my 6D and when you said you were going to try your 7D I thought I'll try my other camera the 5D MKlll, put it on and it never missed a shot. I'm sorry for causing you all that trouble going well now will let see the results soon:ty:

    Gareth The miss timings are after I enter the drop time and delay then the flash time hit enter! It starts the repeat cycle and then the miss camera fault occurs but always drops every time

    Gareth happy new year On your diagram for the camera control where there is a 330-ohm resistor pin 9 on the Arduino cable for the Vcc to the Optocoupler do I change it to 10K one as per your draw for debouncing and include a capacitor?

    Gareth I have developed an odd trait, that the system triggers the camera every second time in other words Drops, no camera, drops and the camera drops no camera, this continues I have changed the optocoupler still the same, have you experienced anything like this?
