http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/making_a_pw_cable An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us ok- i'm working on building myself a PW-Canon (N3) motor/trigger cable... I bought the cheapo Adidt remote ($15 shipped), and i've got the 1/8" male-male Mono cable from Radio Shack.... i cut/stripped some off both needed cables, as req'd- and i can't find a wire combination that works.... i'm far from skilled with this kind of stuff, so any help would be great! any combination of connections i've made thus far either: A) fires off the camera non-stop, or B) nothing. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mx5chris/187732715/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/57/187732715_cfb22ff54a.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="7DAC0034" /></a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mx5chris/187732879/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/69/187732879_abdf1cd007.jpg" width="500" height="334" alt="7DAC0035" /></a> is what i'm working with... any help/experience would be great.... haha Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:54:42 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/making_a_pw_cable just a guess: fires camera non-stop sounds like you might be shorting some cables. tape cleanly once you've made connections and try?

Worked right away!!!!! SO what i did, is spliced red-red, and white-white, didn't use the Gnd in the remote side, so that it's not a Pre-trigger... works like a charm!!! Luis, that first link is golden, wish i wouldve had it a few days ago. thanks! Total price: $18 for my own PW motor cord. I might start making these...
