Hello everyone!Since I have apm 2.6 insstead of APM 1.0 I don't know how to control camera on my X8. If I'm right there is no relay to do it. Is there a way to somehow control an external relay using analog outputsor whatever?Thanks for help.

П.С. Как я писал - проводулька пришла уже спаянная и в термоусадке. Как-то я не додумался, что в таком простом девайсе может скрываться такой фатальный дефект..."
