Hello everyone

I don't really know how this work, but I found in the following post that they just bring a BNC cable and switch button and it worked.

I think there is smth missed but don't laugh, I bought BNC cable, BNC connector, two small wires and attached to one end of the BNC cable and connect them together as a normally open push button. I was 100% sure it won't work because there is no way that any signal will be generated... off course it didn't work  ;D ;D ;D


could instruct me on how to make it.

Thank you!

PointyHairedBoss:
You don't need a signal - the trigger will work with a simple open/close switch.  And you don't need BNC cable, any 2 conductor wire will work.  The BNC to 2-wire connectors I found on Amazon makes things easy.

You can see my home made trigger switches here:

skronstein:
What's your configuration in Trigger/IO Settings? To use the BNC as a trigger, you should have one of the pullups enabled for IO 1, and the trigger should be set to Record End Trigger.

AIAS:
I tried it here very quickly

I connect the green and yellow wires together instead of a switch for now

still, I couldn't make work.

BiduleOhm:
One wire should be on the center conductor and the other on the outside braided shield. On your image they are both on the center conductor.
