'Which model gopro? They don't all have 100% camera control from the app. H4 Black does.
Ok, but what model gopro are you using?
GP3+ Black (or GP4 Silver or Black) is the minimum requirement for camera control. 3+ Silver doesn't have it. Also, the GoPro firmware needs to be current.
No you didn't, you said you have access to one which leads one to believe that's what you're using, not "your own cam" whatever that means.As I said, we are using our own cam. Just try to do min. work on solo and the app.
I personally don't own a gopro doesn't mean I don't have access to one.
I have the pinout, what I don't have is the communication methodology. do you know where can I find one.No you didn't, you said you have access to one which leads one to believe that's what you're using, not "your own cam" whatever that means.
Solo was made for gopro. Of course it won't work for "your own cam" unless it implements the full (proprietary) GoPro Hero BUS (the slot with all of the connectors on the back of the gopro for external control).
This might be of some use to you though to show the hero bus pin mappings. You might be able to rig something to get some sort of functionality out of "your own cam" (whatever that is lol) via the 3DR app:

The goal is to use off-the-shelf Solo, any change to the firmware is a deal breaker.Not specifically as it hasn't been something I've been interested in. I'd probably check their github and look in the solo firmware code. My guess is it's using MAVlink.
Unlike the iris, solo is a closed system. I could do a RE to fish out the sign for the cam shutter. But with other UAV available, I can't justify the cost for a RE. I think I will do what I did in the past, put solo back in the box and put the box to the junk pile.I wasn't suggesting changing the firmware. I meant to look at it for clues on how the 3dr app might be communicating with gopro for camera control.
