"I'm really interested to hear about your RTK setup. Specifically, if you're able to get the Pixhawk to record RAWX messages from the M8T for later use in post-processing and if the M8T is the lone GPS on board, supplying positional information to…"
"Hi Brandon,
Nice setup and thanks for sharing. I have not tested using kinetic between drone and ground station but would like to test it myself once I get some time. So, please keep us posted.
Here is my setup. Something very simple to test the…"

"Hi Hughes,
That 8 is my time zone correction from UT. So, I'm in Alaska, which is -8 (or -9 hours depending on "daylight savings") .
Column K basically converts the GPS week and GPS Time columns to seconds, for my time zone.
Column L is a…"

"Here is a simple example excel spreadsheet that has the calcs to display the local GPS time from the flight *.log file. This allows me to review the CAM messages and figure out which CAM message is linked to my photo timestamps. Sometimes the…"

I have successfully used this tiny micro SD card logger from sparkfun that uses OpenLog:

All I did was wire it up to the M8N eval board from CGS shop

"@Jakub - I'm wondering if you were able to solve your problem at all? Was it the vibrations?
I have the same problem on a large wooden hex with 15" props. It is rock solid at hover with nil vibrations but if I move relatively fast in Alt Hold it…"

"Just to confirm in case anyone is following this thread.... I finally revisited this camera trigger and picked up a Samsung NX1100 after being disappointed with a Canon S100. I can confirm that with a NX1100 all you need to build for a trigger is…"
"...to followup in case this comes up for others out there:
I did a flight today and my protocol assumptions were correct. After changing batteries and getting the aircraft airborne again, I triggered the auto mission flight mode first and the…"

If I have a large survey grid area that I want mapped and it requires several flight battery changes to complete, what is the best method to resume my auto mission using mission planner?For example:If I have a 50 waypoint mission setup and after 30…
"That is good. 1 sec is really nice allowing for a faster moving aircraft while keeping a high level of image overlap.
What gimbal and airframe are you using?
Cheers,

"Hi Jesus,
Nice work and thanks for the info.
I assume the camera has to auto focus for every shot and presumably taking some time to do so.... do you see a long shutter delay between consecutive shots? What is the fastest you can shoot with this…"

"Hi Hugues,
I'm not sure if you're reading this thread anymore but I was able to get my Canon S100 with CHDK script running to be triggered by a CAM_TRIGG_DIST (=5 meter for testing indoors) on a pixhawk with my camera cable connected to RC11 (Aux…"

"Hi Marco,
Could you help me out and post a picture of your assembled device. I'd really like to build this so I can get the 5v necessary to trigger my CHDK script off the pixhawk but I have nil experience reading electronic schematics and how they…"
