Circuit Info for Kodak Disposable Flash Cameras w/ LED Ready Light?




I have searched on Google for hours, but have not been able to find any
updated circuit info on the newer Kodak displosable camera circuits
that have an LED for the ready light instead of the neon tube.

On my last camera harvest, the majority of the 100+ cameras I got were
these Kodak units with the LED.

Does anyone know of a page that describes these circuits?

I have looked at all the pages that talk about the Kodak flash camera
circuits, but they all refer to the neon versions.

What I'm after is the voltage of the trigger switch that connects
through the shutter mechanism. I want to determine the voltage that
goes through this switch, but I'm worried about blowing out my DVM
(600V/400ma max). Ultimately I want to control the flash circuit with
a PIC microcontroller circuit.
