Evening all.
Can anyone offer assistance regarding fitting one of the heng long xenon barrel flash units to a mako tk6.0 board. Looks like I need to swap the plug for the 3 pin type that goes onto a servo and connect to the first of the servo type connections marked as output 1 on the mako board. I know that the yellow and brown wires on my flash unit are for the trigger. That leaves the red, black and blue wires to wire into a servo type plug with connections + - and signal

Any ideas?

You will need to verify but I believe the following to be true:
Red + Voltage
Black Strobe Trigger
Blue - Voltage

Ah thank you for that so it would be very simple to wire into a 3 pin reciever plug. I will give it a go and let you know how it goes

Tried the wiring as suggested with no success. I can get the mako board to make an led bulb flash when the gun fires by wiring bulb - to the - pin on the board and the bulb+ to the trigger pin on the board and leaving the board +no connection

The wires on the xenon flash must be + - and trigger and I have tried using the + and - of the xenon in the same configuration as with the led bulb without success

Any suggestions?
