yeah, you need to add a DC in and 8 trigger outs, but thats how I use mine, it
just sits in a little black box.

Sadly, I don't have any left, I'm going to be doing some more in a month or two,
I've got a couple of things I need to get finished first than I can do the next
version, which will have more adjustment over the outputs so they can trigger
things better, and I also plan to add a simmons trigger din connector (less
wiring for my sds8)
