Step 8: Camera trigger
Shuttercable
If a „Shuttercable“ has been already installed for the camera you need to test its function. Otherwise please continue
with „Step 9“.
Through a „Click“ on the tab „ Outputs “ you can switch into
the appropriate window =>
The ARF-MikroKopter has two independently controllable
outputs.
Both outputs are set in the basic settings to channel 11 =
Poti7.
On the transmitter this channel is assigned to a button.
Output 1:
the „Shuttercable“ can be connected to trigger a camera.
Output 2:
not connected
Now if the appropriate button will be pressed on the
transmitter the blue LED on the „Shuttercable“ should light.
If you release the button again the blue LED on the
„Shuttercable“ goes off.
IR-Ctrl / LANC
If an „IR-Ctrl / LANC“ has been already installed it can be now tested in conjunction with the used camera for its
function. Ohterwise please continue with „Step 8“.
Through a „Click“ on the tab „ Camera “ you can switch into
the appropriate window =>
The IR-Ctrl / LANC would be connected to the servo outputs
4.
Here you can select the assigned RC channel (Poti3+7).
After the calibration of the Gyros (Pg. 35) the functions on
the servo outputs 3+4 can be used.
If everything is checked and set you get back to the main
window of the MikroKopter Tool by clicking the button „OK“
(down left).
