Using relay for camera shutter

Posted by Vishal on April 1, 2011 at 4:56pm

I have the ArduPilotMega IMU Shield/OilPan Rev-H on my arducopter and I see it's got the relay on it for possible camera shutter triggering.  Does anyone have any directions or suggestions on what all is required to do this?

 

I already have a Canon SD750 with CHDK ready to go.  I just need to figure out how the triggering works.  Thanks

    It is certainly feasible but doing it is another matter. Not having a CHDK camera I cannot delve into the breach but servo actuation works equally well. You can go on the APM manual to see how to do it with a servo.
