Camera Trigger Question

Posted by Jason on March 24, 2013 at 2:43pm

Hey Everyone,

I am sure there has already been a topic on this but I could not fine it. I have figured out hoe to hook up my 2-axis camera gimble but I can not figure out how to hook up the camera trigger. Which plug on the APM board are you supposed to hook the servo too? I have the camera gimbal in 10 & 11 and it is working fine.

ALSO- I have read that the servos for the camera gimbal should not get their power through the APM board but can someone explain where they shoud get their power from?

camera trigger from geobduffy

he switches the camera on using the USB - uses telemetry / ground station map as the guide as when to turn the camera on. Camera then running CHDK script.

The wiki is pretty good for things like this:

You still have to figure out how a servo will trigger your shutter, is this what you were asking about?
