Forgive me if i broke a rule.. but i have a questions that kind of spills over into programming. So I will post it here. I have successfully attached a micro servo to a digital camera. I have the micro servo plugged into the retract gear port of my receiver. I can manually trigger it the camera by toggling the retract button on my remote control, there by taking a picture. What I want to do is have the ArduPilot control that when it arrives at a way point. I am not a programmer and need some help on how i can achieve this. Thanks...

Well, it is going to require a bit of programming, I'm afraid. It's something we'll be adding to the code in the future, but for now you'd have to do it yourself.
In the Servo tab, you'd need to add one more servo on a spare digital pin, copying everything that's been done for the other servos.
The trigger would be in the Waypoint tab, where it decides if it's hit a waypoint:

"void Waypoint_Switcher(int distance, byte radius)
{
static byte locked=0;
if((distance < radius)&&(locked==0))
{
locked=1;
current_wp++;
current_wp= (current_wp>wp_number) ? 0 : current_wp;
//Set_New_Waypoint(current_wp);
//Storing in eeprom...
eeprom_busy_wait();
eeprom_write_byte((byte*)0x0A,current_wp);
}
else
{
if(distance > radius)
locked=0;
}
}"
