Indication
You may also interface with the Indication line (position 5) to receive indication when the
camera has taken a picture. The voltage in this line goes high (3.3-5V) when capture verification
is received from the camera.
Ground & VCC
If an external device (i.e. an autopilot) is being used to command a trigger through the Trigger
line (position 4) on the GeoSnap system as described above, it is highly recommended that the
external device and the GeoSnap system are powered by the same source. If this is not the case
(e.g. the external device and the GeoSnap system are powered by two separate batteries), the
ground pin on the autopilot and the Ground line (position 1) on the GeoSnap system should be
connected so that there is a common ground for triggering purposes.
The VCC line (position 6) should not be used to power any external devices. It should be used
only for triggering with the Trigger line (position 4) as described above.
Powering the GeoSnap system
When it comes time to power the system, plug either the provided 9V battery holder or the
provided power pigtail cable connected to an appropriate power source into the GeoSnap
control module power input port.

Loading new firmware onto the GeoSnap system
If you need to load new firmware on your GeoSnap system, follow these steps:
1. Erase all data from the microSD card
2. Copy the firmware file (FOV.fwu) onto the microSD card and insert the card into the
GeoSnap system
3. Power the GeoSnap system – it will flash alternating red and green LEDs for a couple of
seconds until the firmware is loaded and it automatically erases the firmware file from
the microSD card
