Cool! Mine needs a new radiator temperature sensor fitted - when can you fit me in?

For the cooling fan, gauge or EFI Arthur?

EFI?? It's proper bike CC, none of that management stuff! One of the temp sensor pins has broken off I bodged it back on so at least the fan comes on when it's supposed to but it does hava a habit of falling off now and then!

Hi Phil,

Would this project work with my Nikon 990 camera? It has the option of being controlled by remote control [via cable] and I believe has a bulb setting accessable via the remote.

I know you may not know the spec details of said camera, but would your remote work 'in principle' with the 990?

Thanks

P.S. I knew saving this thread would come in handy one day

In theory, yes it should work

The output of the timer is a pair of relay contacts so there is

no power on them to cause damage.

All it does is close the contacts, one of which is the negative rail of the device.

Do you have any info on the lead that fits the 990?

Hi Phil,

Been surfing and eventually found a decent pic of the plug end of the remote [MC-EU1].....

It's the mini USB type plug. I've read a tutorial, last year, on making a USB to USB/serial cable and I think it said you can't buy the camera USB plug end as Nikon kindly had it moulded with a semi-circle onto one side of the it. The cable was spliced to accept the alternative USB instead or along side the serial plug.

Back to square one.

P.S. This not having any money lark is no fun

Ah right..

I think that's the same remote that can be fitted into my NIkon5400.

I don't need it cause the 5400 can go to 10 minutes exposure on it's own.

It's an expensive remote if I remember correctly

Sorry about that mate

Ah! EFI would have to be Negative Temperature Coefficient. Just thought I would dive in too.
