Hi Michael and others,
I am having a hard time figuring out how to control the camera and mount over MAV Link.
I am working on my own control code implementation on the Arduplane side (as I believe it is not there yet?), but I would like to use the available MAVLink commands DO_DIGICAM_CONFIGURE/CONTROL and DO_MOUNT_CONFIGURE/CONTROL that are implemented in the mission planner.
I was however unable to find how to use these commands (which parameters), and whether they actually work =] Also they don't appear in the 'action' list, which would be convenient.
Could someone tell me more about this?
Also I was wondering, would it be possible to create custom MAVLink Commands that can be added to the missions and 'action' list?
Thanks in advance and for all the work in general!
Bests, Serge

Yes indeed DO_MOUNT works like charm nowadays; thanks for that Michael!
Any idea on if/when the DO_DIGICAM will be available? Would be great!
I know it doesn't do anything in the arduplane code yet, but if I could catch the command I could do something with it myself.
Bests, Serge
do mount works. if you have a mount.
do digicam does not.
check the arducopter wiki for more details.
Did you get anywhere with this? Be interested to see how did you end up doing it.
Thanks
