Jerry Cresp replied to brakar's discussion Camera trigger, again"I have simply been using the servo commands in the mission planner to fire the camera at 3 second intervals from launch to land."
Jerry Cresp replied to Lee Wenger's discussion Calculating ground GPS coordinates of photo taken from UAV"What you are trying to achieve is not possible without an accurate ground terrain surface model for the photo area. Have a look at software such as Photomodeller or iWitness to see how it can be done. Their method is to use 2(or more) overlapping…"
Jerry Cresp replied to Andreas M. Antonopoulos's discussion How many waypoints are enough?"50 is plenty"
Jerry Cresp replied to Troy Backus's discussion Getting Left rudder on Stabilize and Auto modes"When you turn on the APM it remembers the initial roll and pitch positions (hopefully you are in a level flight position). If the roll is different when you engage Stabilise or Auto then I would expect the rudder to try and correct the change in…"
Jerry Cresp replied to Søren Kuula's discussion How to restart waypoint flight?"I simply switch it all off after landing and start again.
Or am I misunderstanding your question?"
Jerry Cresp replied to Asaak's discussion offset with the altitude! ardupilot or google earth error??"I have seen errors of 30m in google earth. Combine this with the error in the GPS the difference could be more. 90m is a bit much but I'm not overly surprised."
Jerry Cresp replied to Cala's discussion Aerial Photograph for agriculture purposes"No, unfortunately.
This was one of the modifications that I paid for. The camera mechanic took out the battery and put in some electronics that enabeled me to trigger the camera externally by touching two wires together. This is done with a standard…"
Dean Walker left a comment for Jerry Cresp"Your camera guys must be a lot better than my guys! I asked a local shop about it and they pretty much stared at me with a blank look. So did they do the modification to fire both of the cameras at the same time also? Send me…"
Jerry Cresp left a comment for Dean Walker"Where to start?
I had a look on my computer; I have Gb of files since starting this 5 months ago.
I had the camera's modified at a local camera repair shop. I ended up talking to one of the techos in the shop and he surprisingly knew exactly…"

Sorry, Got side tracked half way through my comment. Where did you get your cameras modified? Looks like a great idea! I've been working along the same lines here in the US but I'm not near as far along. Do you have any other pictures that you could share? I'd love to see more of your setup.

Your camera guys must be a lot better than my guys! I asked a local shop about it and they pretty much stared at me with a blank look. So did they do the modification to fire both of the cameras at the same time also? Send me anything that you've got I'm really interested. What crops are you scouting and what altitude are you running at when taking pictures? Sorry for being so nosey.
