Camera problem

Posted by Markus Luedtke on January 6, 2013 at 6:51am

Hi,

I just have another problem with my Hexacopter and APM 2.5.

When I connect the two servo cables of my camera mount to pin 11/10 and set it up in the mission planner the servos are moving like they should. But only for just 1 or 2 seconds. Thereafter my APM reboots and nothing is working any longer till I disconnect the servo cables. Is there any knack for it?

Cheers,

Markus

Your servos are too power hungry and dragging down the +5V on the APM low enough to reboot.

If you have a scope you can verify this by watching the +5V line.
