It has a lower-rated voltage cap triggered by a 2-2.2V "C" trigger. It
zooms because of the 0.33F capacitor - it stores literally 100 times the
power of your 3300uF capacitor, which is responsible for the big zoom you see.

Sorry for the animated GIF file size but did anyone get this to work and if
so, does the color = voltage make sense?
