The TriggerTrap output appears to be an electronic switch. It does not supply power to an external device. Please be aware that I did not attempt to reverse engineer the TriggerTrap dongle. I would consider that as a violation of the designer's rights. My assessment comes from years of engineering experience and a review of the TriggerTrap help information. I believe I left a link to their site.
That said, any IR LED such as the one you referenced would not work because it would not receive power or signal from the TriggerTrap dongle. The reason why I modified the cheap, IR transmitter was that I could take advantage of the "switch only" output from the TriggerTrap and use that to turn on the IR transmitter to communicate with the camera. The "switch only" output from the dongle parallels the pushbutton on the IR transmitter. When the TriggerTrap operates, it acts like you pushed the button on the IR transmitter. Make sense?
As my friend, Jim, said, if you have a friend who can solder well, you can make the modifications easily to the IR transmitter and create your own remote triggering device.

This is an amendment of Jim Johnson's DIY article which modified a generic Pentax IR remote so that it would be triggered by an output from a TriggerTrap Mobile. This will allow the use of either an Android phone or iPad to use the app's functions to remotely trigger the IR input of a Pentax camera. This ought to work with ANY camera. Note: the app needs to be set up as UNIVERSAL CAMERA to be used with a K-r.

Does the RF remote still work as a battery powered remote control? I saw that you had modified it to work as a remote trigger. Do you have a feel for its range indoors?

I heard from friends who have Pentax cameras that the older lenses can work with the newer cameras. Would like to know how well yours fit and how easy it was to use the pair together.

I'm new to the Pentax camera forum. Was a Contax owner but they did not survive far into the digital age. I am curious to learn more about Pentax cameras and lenses. Especially how the older lenses are compatible with the newer bodies. I look forward to learning from you all who are more experienced.
