4 years ago Just for clarification: The expectation here is to send a "take picture" command to the vehicle when the shutter button is pressed on the screen (not a hardware button), correct? In that case, I have Solex sending COMMAND_LONG/DIGICAM_CONTROL to the sysid of the air unit and compid CAMERA trigger it. Is that what we want? I don't have a camera that responds to shutter commands, so can't test it directly here.

4 years ago Ok having looked at this I have an idea, as standard I don’t see this being able to to trigger anything but a fully Mavlink gimbal like the Solo one. My idea is based on what we did with the recording.
Would it be possible to have default action of the camera still button take a screen shot or image of the video feed and save that locally. Then in settings like with video have the option of choosing to send the Mavlink command.
Hope this makes sense.

4 years ago Hey @MadRC That's actually what the still button does when you click it and "Air-unit Record" is turned off. Currently the settings are like this:
Air-Unit Record ON
COMMAND_LONG/VIDEO_START_CAPTURE (which apparently works, when the air unit is set up to handle video recording output)COMMAND_LONG/DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL (shot command)Air-Unit Record OFF
/sdcard/Movies/sdcard/Pictures
Expected Behaviour
Take Picture command in button programming should trigger Shutter command in Ardupilot
Current Behaviour
When configuring a programmable button to 'Take Picture' in Solex this is not triggering camera shutter action in Ardupilot.
Steps to Reproduce:
Please provide an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce the current behavior
System Information
Herelink Beta
Detailed Description
The solex take picture command does not trigger the shutter command in Ardupilot, users can map Servo 7 to achieve the same outcome however the 'Take Picture' command is the logical way to set this up.
