I suspect its 1000x easier to just wire an arduino to the trigger and have it pulse rapidly than it is to pour over spec sheets and only end up with a "It looks like it should work"
- strogonoff 6y agoAre you saying that testing is a huge amount of work, and looking at specs is further 1000x harder? Tech support staff might not have a test bench at hand at all times (and an Arduino unit out of the blue might’ve required a month to approve and purchase), but they don’t need any equipment to pull specs for a part from internal documentation, which support staff must be very adept at scanning by the nature of their job. I believe this is what tech support more or less for, in a better world. They probably had an answer at their fingertips without any need for testing, but communicating it was against their/company’s interests.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoI doubt a support person from a camera company even has the skills to understand the datasheets. 99.9% of their job is explaining things in the public manual and handling product returns. The only people with the skills to understand it would be the engineers and it would be a waste of time assigning them to investigate this unsupported hack.
- strogonoff 6y agoI know some tech support folks and consulting docs and specs is more than comfortably within their reach. In fact, it’s what they do at better companies where management does not preclude them from doing their job properly and provides access to relevant data.
