Hi all,Just getting a new uav going using an APM-1, and have a question that I can't ind an answer to.Is it possible to trigger a camera shutter, using a servo say, automatically when a waypoint is reached?Is there some output that can be set to trigger on waypoint acquisition?Ron
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
SO the option is in there. In the standard configuration tab, third or 4th item from the top is camera trigger options. You can choose "trigger when 3m from waypoint"
Technically, that's the answer, but Ive flown maybe 7 times trying to make it work and I have not had success. My camera will trigger if I choose "trigger camera now" by right clicking the map and choosing that option, but no luck with the trigger at waypoint option.
