Is there any one person who "looks after" the camera control / trigger side of things in the main ArduCopter code ?

I have some Arduino based code that I have been working on for the following cameras with IR sensors

• Sony Nex5
• Canon
• Nikon
• Olympus
• Pentax
• Minolta

At the moment it is controlled by a separate Arduino Pro-Mini linked to one of the Rx channels for control.  I have a 3 mode switch setup for triggered shutter, delayed shutter and video toggle.

It would be great to have this entered into the main code and options within the mission planner to select a camera, change delayed shutter setting etc using the GUI.

Then all you would need is an IR LED hooked up to to one of the output ports on the APM.
