Mission Planner and the "Camera" option

Posted by Per Elofson on July 18, 2012 at 1:24am

I've filled the Camera dialogbox with information and it shows the following info:

3690947775?profile=original

What are the key values I need when calculating the overlap?

How do calculate what speed I need to fly to match the flightline distance to get 70% overlap? I use CHDK to trigger the camera with a intervalometer script every 3 sec. I'll probably get a trigger circuit or a GentLED to do the triggering.

Is it possible to get the "Grid" creation process to output a waypoint at the right interval to achieve this? In that case one could use DO_SET_SERVO to trigger the camera at every waypoint.

    The simple maths is this
    you need to take a shot every 62.14m, if its set at 3 seconds you need to travel at 62/3 = 10.6 m/s
