Getting the Latest Version of Tower to Trigger the GoPro Camera Flying the Solo and Gimbal

Posted by DanM on June 4, 2016 at 5:08pm

I have not been able to get my GoPro to trigger during a tower survey mission. Have all the latest versions installed of Tower and GoPro software. Its a new Solo with latest updates. I can take pictures and video via the Tower application but the tower application will not trigger the camera, I also have the DO_SET_CAM_TRIGG_DIST and a distance included in the mission,

Any Ideas what to try next?

I notice that if you turn your GoPro on before the Solo has fully connected to the Control Station, the camera (using a 3 axis gimbal) will not trigger. Only if GoPro is turned on after full Solo - Control Station connection, then Go Pro will successfully trigger using Tower App.

Same here for me. I assume that you mean during missions.

Manual Camera control works fine.

I was going to try structure scan to see if that triggers the camera properly.

Have you tried that?
