I am almost ready to test this rig (see pics) but I do NOT have a cable to go to the Canon S100 into the PixHawk.

I have some wiring from another project:

 • BEC Input 5a to 25a | Output 3z to 5a

 • Mini USB

 • PixHawk cable that came with unit

I think I can make a cable to trigger the camera, but don't want to fry anything.

Can anyone guide me through this? Do I have the right stuff?

Any help would be great.

  • Here is the cable all soldered up. I am unsure where the power lead in this configuration plugs into on the Iris (Pixhawk) I am guessing that an open channel can be used for the signal cable? 3701982718?profile=original

    • Jimmy,

      My bad again, I overlooked the part about having to supply 5V to the servo rail with an external BEC. Its no wonder I couldn't get anything out of servo.

      For  the cable I used a right angle mini from Amazon because it is easy to tape down, and I just soldered brown (on the JR) to black and yellow to red.

      I still haven't had a chance to fly it.

      Also, I bought Ian Soler's (Imp Concepts) mount, and I'm still trying to figure out how to retract the lens before landing.
