Because it works in my radio transmitter, switching between photo and video. And if the switch is in the middle, it idles. Where should i supposedly put it?
Looks like it’s connected to Main Output 8 to me but hard to tell from that poor quality photo.
It is connected on yes on the Maint 8 output correct.
I connected it on the Main 8 because it works, when i switch between photo, idle and video, i just set it up here.
Thats the only thing i set up and assigned channel 7 to camera trigger.
The only problem im facing is that, then i created a mission and set DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL on each waypoint, it wont trigger photo. By the way i did activate video on this. Supposedly it should camture photo right? Bacaue i called the command.
Why don’t you have Servo out 8 set for camera trigger? RCIN7 will just work as passthru not as a mission command.
As @dkemxr indicated, you should be able to use option the camera_trigger option for Servo 8. Using the the unused servo outputs has worked well for me - they are very easy to access and change in Mission Planner, and easy to access on the FC hardware.
You will need to find the optimum PWM trigger settings so that it consistently takes pictures when triggered. You can do this in MP from the Camera Gimbal tab in Mission Planner. You can also assign a camera trigger to an RCx input so that you can manually trigger the camera as well.
If i set servo 8 to camera_trigger instead of RCIN7, will it work? What else do i need to set?
Hi, thanks for your response. I alreadone disabling servo 8 from the servo output field, and Enable Servo 8 on the camera gimbal fied. But i dont have an option to switch between video and photo instead it consistently take photo.
DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL will trigger a “high” PWM value which I suppose will only take a photo with your setup. Try using DO_SET_SERVO commands instead and configure the PWM output on the command line you need for either video or photo. Not sure this will work but try it out.
With my current set up though, when the PWM is high is take photo every 5 seconds, and when LOW it triggers video. Also, in mid it is idle.
What PWM value is “low” to trigger video? Below what value?
Sorry, its reverse. Then PWM is: Triggers video
PWM low: Triggers photo
If in the middle: It is idle
OK then try using the DO_SET_SERVO commands in the mission as shown here. Line 1 will do nothing, line 2 will trigger photo and line 3 will trigger video. These command simply output the PWM value configured until another command is given. It might reset at the next Waypoint, not sure.
do servo command on every waypoint? during creation of mission flight?
Hi, i tried using servo but the thought is the same with my current set up. This wont trigger do_digicam_control during mission flight. Actually, i already have a working photo and video switch, its just tha i wanted it to take photo on each waypoint everytime i call the command do_digicam_control, on that instance only. But do_digicam_control wont trigger on my mission.
I would like to clarify Sir, will this only trigger i put the PWM into 1000? Example the PWM 1000 will trigger photo. Or will it trigger still even though i my switch is on 2000 PWM because i will be recording video.
I have this on my other thread:
I did this:
But on mission, my switch PWM will be 2000 because i will be using video. If i did set this, without turning on to PWM 1000, will this still be trigger? As long as its the value for my photo trigger? Thanks much.
I tried mission flight today, the DO_SET_SERVO command didnt work though 
totally i don’t any idea with this wiring
It’s probably not working because the PWM value doesn’t toggle like it does with a camera trigger command. I don’t know what will work for you.
