About Me:
I have been tinkering with APM2.5 and Pixhawk for a few years but still consider myself new to flying. I have learnt everything from the interweb and doing it by myself, it has been a challenge, and I have enjoyed it even though some parts have been extremely frustrating! It would be great to meet other enthusiasts...
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am very interested in Aerial photography and fpv flying. I currently have a 3dr 2014 Quad stock, 3dr radio telemetry, Tarot 2d gimbal, go pro 3+, ImmersionRC transmitter and minimOSD. I am using a Taranis with X8R for control. I have a lidar lite for low level altitude control and used to use a Teensy3.1 running a mavlink converter code so I could see the telemetry information on the Taranis. Now I just use FlightDeck. I also have an APM 2.5 with external compass to fit to a Bixler 2 when I get the time... But first I need to learn how to fly fixed wing ;-)

"Or this one... I'm not sure which one to pick!"
"This is the circuit I will try for the pixhawk. I need to check if the S pin will be happy receiving 5v first..."
"SERVO10_MIN should also be set to 3000"

"Apparently some cameras flash their LED too long when set to FAST mode, resulting in multiple TRIG events logged.
I have heard the SX260HS behaves that way.
The S100 works fine though when SHOT LED SYNC is set to 1."

"Thanks Giovanni, your set up is very interesting!"
"The strange behaviour on the camera wasnt strange at all, it was doind what it was supposed to when set to BURST mode. Setting it to FAST stopped it from taking two pictures for every command :-)"
"Thanks Giovanni, useful to know you use oneshot. I think it is possible to get faster response times from the camera using the PIXHAWK shot control mode...

"Ok, thanks for that Giovanni, it sounds sensible to have a seperate GPS. Do you use a uBlox for the Pixhawk also? So that both GPS systems are identical and get "identical" positional readings (offset by their physical distance apart?).
And do you…"

"This is the post I made in the CHDK forum asking for more information - especially regarding to RC10_FUNCTION. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

"Hi Stanley, thanks for your response.
I have no desire to use the Stock Canon firmware when I know the CHDK achieves better results."
