hello i've purchased yn 560 ii with jjc wireless trigger and i can't fire them together i tried everything so i'm going to say what i have done step by step so you can tell me what i have done wrong.

1-i attached the transmitter to the camera

2-i attached the flash to the receiver

3-i set the flash to manual mode

4-i tried to shoot, the transmitter sent the signal to the receiver and the lamb and it did blink(refering that the problem isn't , the problem is the flash didn't fire.

do i have to do anything with the camera settings, do i have to do anything at the camera?,

if you're not around the flash well here is the modes:

M(Manual) S1 S2 Multi

the multi contains something that i don't understand "-- x 1 Hz" i can adjust the 1Hz thingy to 100

tell me what to do in order to fire the flash and btw i'm using Nikon D3200

and no problems in battery it's just bought. and the flash is firing well in the camera hotshoe.

Sometimes it takes a while, and sometimes, people just have no idea what could be wrong.

It sounds like you're doing everything right, and leaving the Yongnuo in Manual mode. Since the 560 is firing while on-camera, that means the flash is working ok.

The receiver's light blinking when a shot is taken means that communications between receiver and transmitter are working, but may not mean communications between receiver and flash are working.

Making sure that the flash is properly and securely mounted, if the setup you describe doesn't work, I would guess the receiver has a defect. There shouldn't be any problems with compatibility with these devices.

Just for giggles, I would make sure the shutter speed was low, something like 1/100 or slower.
