Seth replied to Jason's discussion Camera Trigger Question
"The wiki is pretty good for things like this:

You still have to figure out how a servo will trigger your shutter, is this what you were asking about?"

Seth replied to Trevor's discussion Digital High Low Switching Using a Script
"The only way you can currently do this without altering code is with a servo switch. I recently answered this question here: http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/canon-sx230-hs-camera?comment..."

Seth replied to Szabó József's discussion Canon sx230 HS camera

Seth left a comment for Dries
"I'm trying to update Copter-GCS, and have a question about JMAVLink.  For some reason, the version that bart has on google.code does not work with mav_cmd, and I'd like to get it working.  It looks like you were able to build it, can you share your…"

Seth commented on Arthur Benemann's blog post DroidPlanner - Ground Control Station for Android devices
"I would suggest that your application include the Bluetooth serial connection used by copter-gcs. The Bluetooth<->XBee bridge is actually quite robust, easy to make, fairly inexpensive, and it allows for a stationary xbee antenna and mobile GCS.
