RedEdge-
MX
Integration Guide Rev 01
6.2. Integration with Aerial Platform for Triggering
Using the RedEdge-
MX
trigger input, the host platform can command image capture
at optimal times based on the operation profile. This allows the operation planning to
be conducted through the host vehicle mission planning software without the need to
configure the camera for operation over WiFi at the start of each operation.
In this integration triggering can be commanded via a rising-edge pulse, falling-edge
pulse, or most commonly, using a PWM signal such as a standard servo pulse. When
using a servo pulse, RedEdge-
MX
can trigger image captures when the pulse
transitions from short to long (e.g. 1.0ms to 2.0ms) or long to short (e.g. 2.0ms to
1.0ms). These trigger settings are configurable via the WiFi interface, and are
persistent once saved.
