"Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. Have you tried this with Pixhawk and it worked?

I will use the jumper as I did not use it before. Should get 16 channels?

Thanks"

"HI Hugues,
Thanks very much for your reply. The Canon accepts the standard mini USB connector, it should be ok you think?
In the strattosnaper software , do you set the push button configuration to trigger the shutter? Is this the correct function…"

"Hi Hugues,

Bravo and thank you very much for your input. I have read this many times. One question, do you think I could trigger a Canon SX280 using the wire output from the strattosnaper and connect it to the USB port of the camera? Then all I…"

Spyros replied to Dave Williams's discussion Using AUX pins as relays for CHDK
"Hi there,

thanks very much for the input. So I guess that I connect the USB to servo cable directly on the strattosnaper, correst? Using two wirew only, ground and signal, yes?"

Spyros replied to Dave Williams's discussion Using AUX pins as relays for CHDK
"Hi thre,

is it easy to configure? You just need to go to pixhawk camera gimbal menu, set the PWM values and then set these values as shutter range for triggering the camera's shutter? "

"SO the only route is to build one?

I really had hopes for the gentWire USB2! Anyone else guys that did have some luck with it?"

Spyros replied to Dave Williams's discussion Using AUX pins as relays for CHDK
"Hi,

Thanks for the reply. You mean it is not sufficient to trigger the shutter . What else is needed with it?

Has anyone tested this using a strattosnapper?


Thanks"
