This will allow any other camera connected to the Solo to be triggered by the Solo's shutter controls if no GoPro is connected. So, if no GoPro is connected, it will send the mavlink command for triggering the shutter in ArduCopter. Whatever servo output have defined as a camera trigger will fire.
User or app needs to change /usr/bin/extSettings.conf "timeOffsetHrs" to be their local time offset from UTC in hours. The default is "None", and the clock will not update. The Solo has no other way to know what timezone it is in, so this must be set manually or with the app. If set, for example to -5, the GoPro clock will automatically be set for the current UTC time minus 5 hours (eastern standard time).
Several new flight modes were added to ArduCopter since the Solo was
created. This patch adds
- Throw mode
- ADS-B Avoidance (not a user mode)
- Guided w/ no GPS
- Smart RTL
The bug in ArduCopter master that made MSG_MOUNT_CONTROL fail to yaw the
copter in smart shots has been found and fixed as of Fri 12/22. It is
merged into master and begin backported to 3.5.5. As such, the
workaround (simultaneous CONDITION_YAW commands) can now be removed from
the smart shots. Also cleaned up the code around it a bit.
Update to all smart shots for some or all of the following:
- Button handling for the new Open Solo button handling rework
- Copter yaw compatibility with ArduCopter master
- Accelleration fixes and standardization
This adds functionality for addition button options. Adds short and
long hold options for the A, B, and trigger buttons, plus long hold
options for the gimbal preset buttons. This also significantly cleans
up the handling, making it more robust. Junk and unused functions are
dumped. This is required to marry up with similar updates to the Artoo
STM32. As such, you do need to have Open Solo on both the controller
and solo. Also adds additional logging. Additional commits to follow
make corresponding button handling changes to the smart shots, which are
also required.
The rewind smart shot has a number of reliability and safety issues. As
such, it is being discontinued in Open Solo. If anything still happens
to call the rewind smart shot, it will immediately exit to ArduCopter
RTL mode.
The ReturnHome smart shot presents a number of reliability and safety
issues. As such, its use is being discontinued and we're using
ArduCopter RTL mode instead. If anything still happens to call the
return home smart shot, it will immediately change to the ArduCopter RTL
mode.
This ensures that if the RC control is lost, the throttle channel will
drop below the ArduCopter FS_THR_VALUE in both the 3DR ArduCopter
releases and the ArduCopter master releases. the PixRC file in SoloLink
does the same thing, so this is kind of redundent.
