That is what I would try. I'm by no means the most knowledgable person 
on this list, so if someone else knows better please correct me!
Yves module does work with a square wave but this is converted to a 
trigger by C4, D2, R11 and U2d. You could also try bypassing R391 and 
take your trigger signal from the junction of C119 and R392.
