Survey shot & manual shot, both?

[FlyAnt (flyant967@gmail.com)]

Hi Guys,

I have on board a Cube Orange with Herelink and Solex. I need to take both manual and triggered photos in Survey mode
If I’m not mistaken, in survey mode, the trigger acts on 7 but I have set the manual trigger on channel 10 (AUX 2)
In other words, I have to manually set the output parameters based on the type of operation I have to perform.
How can I manage both modes (auto trigger in Survey + manual shot) with Solex’s Cam Shot button only?

Do you also have any indication about coming to find this Lua script without overturn the web?
Thanks again

It’s already in master:

AP_Scripting: select auto or manual gimbal/camera control mode

If you need to adapt it, take a look at:

Getting GPS Data every time a relay is auto switched

Here’s the documentation on Lua scripting for Ardupilot. Here are the examples on GitHub. You’ll probably want to pay particular attention to this one. I also published a video on the topic. For GPS location information, here’s a short code snippet: local instance = gps:primary_sensor() local position = gps:location(instance) local latitude = position:lat() local longitude = position:lng() local altitude = position:alt() The location object also includes a handy get_distance() method t…
