Features of FADU F-Stop Enlarger Timer for PC
1. The FADU F-Stop Enlarger Timer can optionally drive a WiFi smart switch or relay module to switch the enlarger’s lamp on and off.
2. It has f-stop timing adjustments for either single-exposures or test-strips, including a mode with audio cues designed for those who will be switching the enlarger lamp manually.
3. Version 1.5 of the timer can use Sonoff Basic R3 and Mini devices in DIY mode without the need to reprogram their firmware.
4. The timer can be used as a stand-alone timer to calculate f-stop timing for manual on/off switching of the enlarger, or it can be used to switch the enlarger lamp via a WiFi smart switch.
5. The Sonoff Basic R3 and Mini switches may be used without reprogramming, but the S20 and S26 will require changing their firmware.
6. Alternately, an LC Technologies WiFi relay board module may be used without the need for reprogramming – but as it is a bare pcb module it will need a case and a 5V power supply.
7. The LC Tech board does not require any reprogramming but should only be used on the low-voltage side of an enlarger power supply’s transformer/stabilizer due to poor pcb layout decisions by the manufacturer, making it unsuitable for use with m

Whats New In this Name?

(1) Can now use a Sonoff BASIC R3 (or MINI) in DIY mode. Select [BASIC R3]. This removes the need to reprogram the device’s firmware.
(2) Same as (1) but using DIY mode’s ‘Inching’ API to avoid router-inflicted network delays. Select [Pulse R3].
(3) Added the ability to use the camera’s LED. Potentially useful for flashing paper.

Conclusion
Overall, I am very pleased with the FADU F-Stop Enlarger Timer application! It is easy to use, and has helped me to become a more efficient photographer. The only suggestion that I would make is to add an automatic start and stop function, as this would make the application even more user-friendly.
