Chrony PC Interface Cable project.

[Stot]

That is probably what this board uses. I wanted to avoid soldering as much as possible.

That other bay part number i put up is ideal. You can just crimp or connector block some cables together and get it working.

On another note, i bought a remote shutter cable for my camera, but unfortunately it doesnt work on its onw, let alone taking it apart to interface it with the chrony....

Check that the molded plug on the camera end is fitting correctly, a lot of the chinese copies have a problem with the molding that prevents the pins making contact.

Also if you do get it working don't forget to install a timer circuit between the chrony and camera to give you some fine control. Typical timing resolution needs to be less than a millisecond I use a digital system that is accurate to a microsecond, roughly 1 millisecond = 1 foot of pellet travel (1000 fps, high but it makes it easy to remember lol).

Excellent work! Can you do one for USB?

[Stot]

You can do a USB one but i havent tried, I might tho. Cost is more like £15 and you may need drivers depending on what interface is used.

Nice one stot.
I've built the circuit I sent you as well and it does work but the board solution is much neater (and easier) so I've ordered one

Nice work and great post.

I got an interface cable with my Combro so have never needed to build one myself.

When I had space to tune airguns in my shed (and the time to do it), a laptop wired to a chrono was an excellent tool.

if one of you gentlemen would like to make a usb fitting interface which just plugs in and doesnt need bauds and blip blaps, i for one would buy the lead.


theres a market for such a set up.

I use a USB to Serial conversion cable and driver at work. About £15.

This is fascinating, they keep going on about a printe attachment but I am damned if I can see where it would attach to my chrony F1

There should be a stereo jack socket on it.
