I have spent the weekend trying to do surveys. For some reason that I can't understand, there are no pictures taken. I can take pictures and videos manually with Tower by tapping the shutter button on the screen.
The gear is Solo with gimbal and Gopro Hero4 black and Nexus 9. All softwares are up to date. Have re-installed latest gopro firmware manually and re-formatted the sd-card.
My workflow in Tower is as follows.
Everything is connected and camera is on.
In Editor. Choose the "curved lines" button and pick survey or spline survey.
Draw a square. (or a "U" which does not creates unnecessary wayoints at the end)
Pick the green button (point of interest) that showed up at the bottom left to bring up details.
Choose camera "Gopro Hero 4 black wide" it is the only Hero4 in the list. Have also tried some of the other Hero 3 in the list with no luck.
Adjust altitude, overlap and sidelap.
Upload mission.
Now there are more point of interests added at the bottom of the screen. Two of them are are called camera trigger. The first one has a value entered for the distance between each picture. The second one has a zero.
Check that camera is still on.
Hit Fly and give some gas to get off the ground.
Point the camera down.
Take a test shot.
Hit auto and let the mission begin.
When running the survey everything looks fine and there are blue areas displayed on the screen that seems to show the area covered by each picture. The picture counter does not count.
Have tried latest Tower beta too. The only difference was that it does not display the blue areas on the map.
Is there anyone that have got these camera triggers working and can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
