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."

Jaime Machuca commented on Jaime Machuca's blog post Triggering the GoPro on board the 3DR Solo for Mapping missions
"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 Arnaud Vandecasteele's discussion Is the Solo good for mapping and surveying ?
"Tower is in fact Droidplanner 3. There was a name change. The structure scanner is not the way to go you are looking for survey. With survey you can draw a region and it will generate the flight lines based on altitude, overlap, side lap, and…"

"Awesome, I have used it for several mapping jobs and even with the GoPro its a great drone for mapping and survey. And it will only get better in the future."

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."

"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 replied to Paul Susmarski's discussion Triggering the Solo Camera during Survey in 3DR SOLO
"This is not an issue with tower. The solo pixhawk firmware does try to trigger the camera, but the companion computer onboard Solo which is responsible for the triggering of the GoPro is not triggering the camera. In order to trigger it you need to…"
