Guys,

Just started to experiment with some photmapping. Got two options to trigger my Canon Camera.

Either by APM ( I have a CHDK cable ) or by Intervalometer script. Was wondering which would be better to use.

I have been using the intervalometer, but it seems this results in extra images during the upwind legs.

So APM triggers would be good ? Any drawbacks with this over the Intervalometer ?

Thanks !

  I have seen Drone Deploy and the pricing is unreasonable for a vendor.

    ...and this is strange. I'm the pilot for the Sacramento ESC and DD has a pic of the Sac site on the "construction" page. This is my first flights survey overlay.

Here's as close as I've got without success. I am not knowledgeable on electronics. Am I close? I need visual aides!

Look at this discussion on github: https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/482

Also look here: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/canon-chdk-apm-connection-schemat...

CAM_TRIGG_DIST is awesome, but still needs some tweaks to be perfect. You will never use an intervelometer again.
