Hello, my name is Alejandrina, I'm Ingenieer in agronomy production from Argentine I' m an Ardupilot happy owner for my new Skywalker, I'm newbie with RC and autopilot, my idea is to obtain aerial photos of the crops to help me to decide fertilization in presicion agriculture; my english is very bad but I'm going to try to participate in this very useful forum.
Here's my New plane on It's first day
Here you can see the Ardu and the minim in the top and the Dragon downside
Finally the minim moves in front of the plane fro interferences with gps
I have to decide how to attach the compact camera
For the moment I attached the camera like this

Hi Jerry, my name is Willy Fernandez from the southern part of the Philippines. I have been into UAV and doing aerial photography for Surveying and Real Estate Firms using arducopter. Now i want to get into agriculture, particularly, banana plantations. Our place is one of the largest producer of bananas exported mainly to Japan and other places. My interest is aerial photography over large areas of banana plantations to obtain NDVI indexes to determine the health of vegetation. I am aware of Multispec sofware. Is IR camera enough to obtain images for NDVI? Do i also need RGB camera? Any help is greatly appreciated. Please email me at: willyfph@yahoo.com. Thanks Jerry.
You need an RGB too, at least Red channel
Thanks Cala for the reply. I am really new to this kind of undertaking and still doing research. The main problem i have is trying to interpret results of NDVI in determining health of vegetation. I ran some of the NDVI images taken by others using online software. Thanks again.
Buenas Cala. También soy colega y de Argentina. Me interesa mucho este tema. Quisiera ponerme en contacto por favor para aclarar dudas. Mi mail es geocampo1 en gmail, Saludos
El como disparar la camara pues hay varios metodos:
-Un servo que directamente actue sobre el bototn de disparo.
-Usar un firmware alternativo dpara cannon que permite el control total de la camara por usb
-Un dispositivo que imite al mando a distancia de la camara y sea accionado por señales PWM, hay de varios fabricantes y para varios tpos de camara.
-Abrir la camara y puentear el disparador (es lo que yo hago)para luego conectar esos cables a un rele http://store.diydrones.com/ServoSwitch_V10_p/br-0007-01.htm
Un saludo a todos, espero que nos unamos muchos hispano hablantes.
