Looking for a few serious guinea pigs for this. Basically lets you do radiopopper JrX-like control from the cybercommander so it looks like this: csrb+ -> gizmo -> rpcube -> old sb-25/sb26/sb28/sb80 Cost is $30 for the prototype gizmo to cover parts/shipping (to be sure you're serious). Obviously, it'd help if you had the other parts besides the gizmo for testing... Trying to figure out whether it's worth productizing (though I keep hoping the PCB folks will add it to the CSRB+ because I'm duplicating parts)-: |

Will it control Canon speedlights? |

Turns out the guinea pigs that signed up found an issue w/ Canon speedlights (figures since I didn't have the gear to test with :( ) but it's fixed now (needed a small hardware modification to the prototype boards). They had 430ex/580ex flashes and I bought a 430ex to test with the Canon RPCube. On the bright side, there seems to be more control w/ my adapter than w/ the Radiopoppers w/ Canon flashes. The RP only gives about 4 power levels w/ Canon flashes for some reason. Next is trying to figure out how to shrink it more and design a molded case for it instead of the open cage frame it's in now :) |

I would be interested in hearing more about this. Right now I only have one Einstein, and one 600EX-RT, (and a boatload of manual speedlights, but they don't count), but being able to mix control from studio to speedlight sounds awesome! |
