This rig is setup for shooting video and has proven to be rock solid. The Y frame means you'll never worry about props getting in the frame and the redundant motors help safeguard against possible motor/ESC/prop failures as well as provide a very…
"Andy,
From our tests, we've consistently been able to map 12-14 acres with 3DR's Y6 on one 6000mAh battery over 6-7 minutes with 10-15mph winds. The missions were flown at 60 meters up and have a 67% overlap since we need orthomosaics. There's a…"

"Awesome. I sure there would be a large (and growing) demand for this. I would love to be able to use ROI to keep the camera facing a certain direction and then visual tracking to follow a specific subject. This would allow for one person to get…"
"Steve,
I've had similar problems in the past. I never figured out what the issue was and assumed an updated version of Mission Planner resolved it. I'm still learning myself but if you'd like to post your log and images I'll take a look.

"From power source to the middle AUX pins?"
"Here's a breadboard diagram made with fritzing. I substituted 2N3904 and 2N3906 in place of the BC547 and BC557 since they're easier to find in the US. Hopefully this helps."
"Finally got some time to test this circuit and it seems to work fine with power supplied by USB to the middle rail of the AUX pins. The plan is to use this in an RVJet and power it from the BEC/ESC.

"I see where I got confused. In order to use Marco's circuit you need to provide 5v to the middle row of the AUX pins from an alternate power source. Is this correct?"
"Anyone have any ideas why I'm not seeing any voltage from the middle pin when the Pixhawk tries to trigger the camera? I do see 3.3v from the signal pin.

"Same here. No dice on the converter this weekend. Components and proto board have been ordered for the circuit Marco posted. If I get it working I'll post some pics.
BTW - Sparkfun has a promo code (SXSW2014) for $10 off orders over $20 that's good…"

"Thanks for the info everyone. We'll be testing the middle AUX pin w/ the Sparkfun converter this weekend. Seems like a more elegant solution than using an arduino (which will work in a pinch). "
"Yes. Learned the hard way. Sometimes you just forget to check them before launching."
"Any luck resolving this? I'm experiencing the same problem. Long/Lat is all the same across 20 images but the Alt seems to be updating correctly."
