Hi all

how to use arducopter for auto photo?

I need to make a quaid for automatically make shots at each waypoint (or every 20 meters of track).
I configured shutter as specified in the manual and checked - from input 7 shutter work. shutter on channel 8, servo is connected. added the command do_digicam_contol between 1 and 2 points, and between 2 and 3 points. Firmware 3.0rc1. in the first case the servo moves, but between 2 and 3 points - did not work.

is it possible to set up shots occurred when the each waypoint without additional comands do_digicam_contol?

how to use do_digicam_configure?

For automatic shooting would be the best mode
achievement waypoint - go to loiter - pause for 2 seconds - do shot - a pause for 2 seconds - the continuation of the mission

Thanks.

    Why not just use a camera that takes pictures every X seconds? I know the GoPro and other cameras have this feature.

    I'm afraid do_digicam_configure doesn't do anything yet.

    You'll need to put do-digicam-control commands after each waypoint.  Someone else recently requested what you're asking for, "take a picture every x meters" but it's a recent request and hasn't been implemented yet.  The closest issue on the issues list is here.  Feel free to add you request there or create a new issue.
