Info

If a photo camera is carried on the MikroKopter, this can e.g. be triggered via :

a ShutterCable connected to the switching output Out1
a CamCtrl "I2C" connected to I2C
a CamCtrl "Servo" or IR-Ctrl connected to the servo output 3 or 4

The camera can then be triggered manually via the remote control.

In order for the camera to be triggered automatically during a waypoint flight or all "X" meters (distance / altitude), we need the WP-Automatic.
To use this function, only a few settings are necessary.

WP-Automatik

The WP-Automatic is linked to switching output Out1.

In order to be able to use the function, two requirements must be met:

Switching output Out1 must be linked to the WP event.
- To do this, check the [combine with WP-Event] box
(See picture)
The WP-Automatic function is activated via Out1 Timing.
The channel present here must be half switched to activate the WP-Automatic.

Switch or button

A triple switch or a button can be used on the remote control for photo triggering.

3-way switch

If a 3-way switch is used, these 3 switch positions can be used directly for the functions OFF - WP-Automatic - Trigger .

During a waypoint flight, this switch can then be switched to the middle position to automatically trigger photos.

Button

If you use a button on the remote control, it only knows two switching states -> OFF - ON.

So that the channel used by the button is also switched halfway, the relevant channel must be set in the remote control.
In the remote control, the servo travel for this channel is limited on the negative side.

With a Graupner HoTT remote control, this is set in the Servo settings menu.

Here you change to the channel used and set the negative value to "0" ~ - (in our example Ch10) - ~.

After this setting, the channel is permanently switched half => so the Function WP-Automatik is every time active.
When the button is pressed, switching output Out1 is switched manually => you trigger the camera manually
