Camera triggering

Posted by Quentin Mayberry on January 19, 2015 at 9:20am

Hi All,

I haven't used the auto camera trigger function for a long while and went to set it up in arducopter 3.15, however it doesn't seem to be available anymore, or maybe I am missing it!

How do I program the apm to take a photo when reaching each waypoint, there used to be a parameter for that?

    You didn't say what type of camera triggering you are using, servo or relay?
    You can find all your answers in the wiki

      Oops, yes a servo.

      Thanks for the wiki link, didn't think of looking at the plane wiki as I am using multicopters.

      Having looked at the wiki it is quite laboursome now using the do_set_servo command each time, does that mean the old function of telling it to take a photo at each waypoint has been withdrawn then?

        No it's still there and useful in some circumstances.
        It can be done automatically using the Survey Tool and selecting Digicam control.
