After powering the camera and hooking the USB to the pixhawk I turned on the pixhawk (connected via battery) then I hooked it up to laptop and triggered camera through Mission Planner.
I'm not sure what to suggest here.
My first thought is that your pixhawk setup is not what the script is expecting for
[ Pixhawk ] mode. The pixhawk can be setup to trigger a camera a number of ways, but to get faster shooting ( < 1 second/shot ) you need to follow these guidelines :
Pixhawk Camera Trigger Cable.
When you set the script to
[ Pixhawk ] mode, it expects at 3 mSec pulse from the pixhawk to start shooting and another 3 mSec pulse for each additional shot. According to the test script logs from either camera, your setup is generating 100 mSec pulses.
The KAP.LOG file for your
A3400 also shows it receiving only 100 mSec pulses - which is why it does not start shooting.
The mystery here is why your
A4000 KAP.LOG file shows it shooting? It must be receiving ~3 mSec pulses - it won't shoot any other way.
Before I try to hack up the script to dump more info about what your
A4000 is doing, would you mind repeating the original tests for both cameras with the pixhawk remaining powered between tests. I can only guess that you maybe lost the correct setup of the pixhawk after you tested the
A4000 and before you tested the
A3400?
Please accept that I'm not trying to say you've done anything wrong. I just can't figure out what else I might have missed. Something is different - but what?
