@tecno maybe 0.5s is too long, try reducing to P100
Otherwise it sounds like you might need to add something to pull it back down to ground once released? -
@jay_s_uk
Tested that still same issue -

@tecno dunno, i'm not really an electronics guy

Tested = same issue
Hopefully sombody else chimes in ta advice what to try next.
Thanks !

What are the specs on the device you have connected to that output?
What does it expect to see in the way of signal voltage and duration?

The IO output goes go GND to trigger camera ( switch is NO and swithes to ground )

@tecno can you change the M950 to
M950 P0 C"^io1.out" Q1

Tried that still same issue with serial 1K, will test with no serial 1K

IT WORKS NOW !!!

M950 P0 C"!io1.out" Q1Thank you guys, this forum is so helpful !
Glad to hear you got it working.
Do you understand why you needed that ! character?

Excellent.
I did say:
I would put a series resistor inline. Maybe 100 Ohms to 1,000 Ohms and try it.
So I was already thinking 1,000 Ohms might be too large.
I'm glad you stuck with the experiments and got it working!

This inverts the signal and by that the level rises above the trigg point in the BT circuit, right?

Experiments are always good as long one tries to follow good practis, in my case ask questions frequently.
Thanks for guidance!

Correct.
Without that ! character the normal state of the output is low which is the state that triggers the camera. Adding that ! character makes the normal state of the output high.
