How to wire canon sx230 hs for the APM 2.5.
I want to be with a USB cable and turn on for 4 seconds each do a picture. I uploaded it to the chdk started to get along, and the interval program., which itself works great.

Thank you

With the current Ardu* system, you need to use a servo output to control a camera shutter, using the DO_SET_SERVO or DO_SERVO_REPEAT. So, you need to either attach a servo to your camera to physically press the shutter button, as shown on the Ardupilot wiki, or use a servo switch. Diydrones sells one: http://store.diydrones.com/ServoSwitch_V10_p/br-0007-01.htm and Hobbyking has one. I think both are out of stock right now.
The other option is to make one, using an old servo, which is what I did: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26088
This will give you a digital on/off output from a servo port on your APM2.5 Then you can attach it to your USB remote and camera running CHDK to trigger a shutter release.
