How to trigger the camera(Canon 5D MARK 2) by APM?

Posted by zheng jishi on February 9, 2014 at 2:12am

Hello,all.Could anyone tell me how to trigger the 5D MarK 2?What kind of way do you use?I once trigger the Canon ixus 100 by mode of relay.I conneted two wires from inner keyboard(shutter) to the apm. It works very ok.Because Canon ixus 100 is very cheap,I can do this way.Is there any efficient way to trigger the camera(5D Mark 2).

The Canon ixus 100 needs 5v to trigger but the 5D needs dry contacts.

  John, can you have a dry contact type of pin in the PixHawk unit? If so, what pin and how to configure it? Thanks.
