Jaime Machuca commented on Jaime Machuca's blog post Triggering the GoPro on board the 3DR Solo for Mapping missions
"I'll have to check the code again, but I think if you setup the cam-trigger-distance it should still trigger the camera, and the pixhawk will log the messages. Let me dig into it."

"I'm working on it (tutorial), its not 100% yet. So there is no point on releasing one yet (will create to many support questions). We are also working on companion computer images that will make things easier to implement."

"Hi all, the post has been updated. The current Solo code already triggers the GoPro so this mod is not necessary anymore. You can use the data flash log's CAM messages to geotag the GoPro images using mission planner. Use this process:…"

Jaime Machuca replied to RPM's discussion Solo Alternate Camera Control in 3DR SOLO
"It misses a few if you trigger that fast. But when I process it does not seem to matter too much. Also I have been flying a bit fast at 7m/s so flying slower should fix that. I am not triggering based on time, I trigger based on distance traveled."

*** Note this Blog post was done a long time ago, this is no longer needed with the latest Solo updates. Current Solo firmware will trigger the GoPro during an auto mission correctly, and the cam trigger messages on the data flash logs can be used…

"We have a controller that plugs into the accessory bay and will let you control any sony camera that supports sony's wifi API. Not sure yet when we will start selling stand alone though. "

Jaime Machuca commented on Daniel McKinnon's blog post Would you like to capture professional quality photos with Solo? Do you like Rube-Goldberg machines?
"You can use it on any Linux based computer, it uses MAVProxy so you need to setup man proxy and set it up to run on startup, configure the linux box to connect to the sony camera's WiFi and connect a serial port from the linux box to the pixhawk…"

"@Daniel, I ran into a similar problem, but not on the WiFi connection, it was more related to the SSDP finding the camera. I had to add a retry strategy where I retry to connect and find the camera every 5 seconds for 5 times... that solved the…"

Jaime Machuca replied to Maarten Deheegher's discussion Pixhawk + Wifi = Intererence? in PIXHAWK
"I have also flown planes and quads with Wifi and 2.4Ghz RC. If the Wifi traffic is low, and sporadic, I have not had problems, I have seen some interference when doing large file transfers over Wifi."
