Hey all,
I am trying to embark on a rather large undertaking (given my absence of experience with Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) to rig a Pixhawk PWM/Servo port to trigger a GoPro.
I have found CAMremote-2 that can take "RC input" and convert it into a trigger release for GoPro cameras. Does the servo output qualify as "RC input"? http://vp-systems.eu/manual_cr.html#EXAMPLE-GOPRO
A different (and seemingly less promising) solution I found used a Stratosnapper2 module to convert the servo output into IR, LANC, and Wire signals. This (might) pair with a separate company "Cam-do" makes a wired trigger that utilizes the 32-pin port in the back of the GoPro to release the shutter.
Does anyone have any idea if these setups would work? Despite several hours reading datasheets, I still have no idea if this will work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!

Did you ever get this working? I have a camremote 2A and solo with accessory port wired in. I can get a RX to trigger the camera (SX260 with CHDK) but cannot get the solo to trigger the camera.
Without knowing the specifics of your case, you have to do Mavlink scripting in Python, run everything through a breakout board (which voids your warranty) and try to go that route. None of that stuff I am very familiar with, good luck!
