Description

I used a 555 timer to trigger an old film camera to take pictures from a kite in the Azores. The kite was a "Scott Sled" made from garbage bags. The timer circuitry was in an old ice cream box and was suspended at the proper angle using pieces of a yard stick. http://www.gadgeteer.us/KAP.HTM
