I am trying to configure my Pixhawk FC to allow me to control an onboard camera to take a photo or to start/stop a video recording.
The camera is a Hawkeye Firefly 6S and it has a remote control board connected to the USB port. This remote control responds to PWM signals from a receiver channel:
- 1000 uS is to take a photo
- 1500 uS is no action, stop recording
- 2000 uS is to start recording a video
I have configured a 3-way switch on my transmitter to output those 3 values on Channel 8 – UP is 1000 uS, CENTRE is 1500 uS and DOWN is 2000 uS.
Now, what do I need to do to get the Channel 8 PWM signal to appear on one of the 6 AUX Ports (AUX1-AUX6, referred to as RC9-RC14 in Mission Planner) of the Pixhawk, so I can connect the Firefly 6S remote control signal wire?
I guess I need to configure ArduCopter to convert the Channel 8 PPM signal to the equivalent PWM signal and map that signal to one of the AUX ports as if there was a servo connected to that port.
Could someone please point me to the parameter/s that I need to configure to achieve the above?
