2-axis downward pointing camera tracking

Posted by Veikko Vierola on November 9, 2012 at 3:28pm

Hi,

I need to make my downward pointing camera to track a coordinate point on ground using 2 servos (x/y-tilt) on camera. Is this possible with current arduplane code?
How to configure it? For example when the plane loiters the camera would be pointed to some coordinate on ground below all the time.

    Yes it is possible with the current code.

    Just select "point camera here" on the Mission planner map. And configure the camera mount like explained on the wiki.

    The code allows for the camera to be pointed anywhere, down, forward, back whatever. Just calibrate it like explained on the wiki.
