Does anyone have a drawing or information on how to make your own adapter to hook a Canon camera up to the APM? Would like to make the one with two connections to the APM so I can trigger by distance as referenced in the tutorial.
Thanks!

I´ve been working a hole day with this servo switch from 3d robotics. I bought it because i saw this guy using it in this video. So i started to look information about it, how is the setup, etc. I couldnt fin a thing, so i just saw the video over and over again, and well i put it together, and start playing with it.
On the other hand, my SX260 hs canon camera with chdk, trigger the script remotely when the usb port gets 5v and then 0v.
So i manage to get the switch do thath when i hit the rc control. I put it on my aileron channel and when i stick right, on my tester i read 5v and then a drop to 0. Afterwards i conect the cable to the camera and stick right again but the script wont start.
I saw that i needed to power through a ESC to get 5v flats. If i power with a battery directly, the output voltage varies from 6 to 5v...
Has anyone do this already??
I guess i´ll have to buy the gentwire cable, but in the meantime i need to make it work.

Thanks for the info, guys. I have a couple of Genwires now so I'm able to get started. Anyone had any success in setting this up yet? As already mentioned, the wiki is out of date...
