"Yes! Thanks Johnatan -"
"That's great, I think I understand! Thanks a lot Hein.

Hi Fred, indeed you can do triggering with the pixfalcon or other (non-aux) px4. Some cameras require PWM signal, some a relay. If your camera requires a relay for…"

I wasn't clear. I'm looking to automate the trigger using waypoints via the autopilot's capabilities (http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/common-camera-shutter-with-servo.ht...).

Hello all,I’m looking for a smaller/lighter alternative to the Pixhawk. I need to use ardupilot’s relay-type camera shutter, with a fixed-wing craft, for automated flights with shutter triggered automatically (on the Pixhawk, I’d use the AUX/RC…
"Hi Chris. Just a note to give you my appreciation for the support you've given to the community - there's been a lot of altruism and business experimentation on your part; lots of scut work and community building... lots of risk taking. You…"
"Hello Tersus,
Yes, we are interested. We have started doing tests comparing microtopography results generated from UAV data with all-terrain vehicle GPS data. Thanks
Fred, fredjean@sympatico.ca"

"Nice setup. Thanks. Never seen battery connectors like those before: what are they?"
"Congratulations to you and the Dev team! You did an amazing job."
"Hi Richard,
What are the specs of the craft you were flying? Thanks -
Fred"

"Thanks a lot for your quick (!) response. Limited knowledge of lidar; I didn't realize it has that penetration... 700k/s: that would be quite a bit more data to process. : ) = ironic or happily wishful?"
"Shaun: (sorry to the group for an off topic question) why lidar for topography when you can get high resolution 3D from photo images with SFM through software like Agisoft PhotoScan? perhaps a reply by email fredojean-at-gmail.com. Thanks a lot. Fred"
"I had a similar issue with the proximity of the buzzer to the Pixhawk. Thorsten and Randy identified the problem (I moved the buzzer a few inches). Note that the problem of interference between buzzers and gyroscopes is being studied. See…"
"Hi Chris
A few people noticed this problem. You can find another simple geotagging method here:

"Glenn, assuming 3 things: that the GPX file and the JPEGs are in the same folder, that you are located in that folder with the command line tool (whether Mac or PC), and that the time in the images and the time in the log are in sync, then the…"
"I was facing the same problem as you, Glenn. My workaround was to export the log's GPS info into a GPX file using MP, then use ExifTool to to add the GPS tags to the JPEGs from the GPX file. I then used Agribotix to make the mosaic, which worked…"
"Ok - Thanks again Thorsten. I'll keep my eye open for softer foam to support the Pixhawk."
