Triggering the camera by GCS before mapping mission starting is very
important. It makes sure that the camera can be triggered properly by
GCS before the mission.
trigger the camera so the camera can enter the capture model.
Tips:
**You also trigger camera by PWM signal from radio controller, you

Inserting Memory Cards
61S has three memory card slots, two SD cards for images and
videos, and one TF card for POS file (Future development), either
you use an old memory card or a new memory card, you need to
format the card in the way the camera wants it, so the camera can
save the photos in the TF card properly.
Insert your memory cards as above picture shows.
connect the camera with display by the micro USB cable
and power the camera, then turn it on
Step #1
Step #2
in the menu system on the display, you’ll find the Format item
under page 5 of the tab with the toolbox icon (as photo below)
Step #3
Formatting the memory card deletes all the data on it ,check the
photo below, it will ask for confirmation, you will select " YES"
and go to next step.
Inserting a SD Card
Step #4
once camera is done formatting TF card, turn the camera off, and
then turn it back on, and take a photo for testing, see if the photo
is saved in the SD card successfully.
Camera Settings
Please referto the page#11- connect to PC
After setting changes is done, please push "P"-Camera ON/OFF to
save the new settings!
MAVlink
developers can use ADTi drone mapping camera protocol to
setup a video feed and camera controlling via Mavlink.
Mavlink communication uses UART
Hi3516 is used for HDMI transcoder & RTP Video streaming via
Ethernet
Camera definition file download via Mavlink FTP is needed
please connect to our engineers for Details Mavlink setup.
PWM(Pixhawk)
Intergrating with Autopilot
Connect PWM camera triggering cable to the pixhawk ports, as .
Here we have selected RC10, which corresponds to AUX2 on the
Pixhawk
Triggering the camera on Mission Planner:
by action to trigger camera and click " do action"
Intergrating with Autopilot
PWM(DJI)
In DJI Assistant 2 configure any of the available ports as "Shutter". For
example the F1.
Change shutter parameters or leave them by default.
PPK Setting Up (Emlid)
The Surveyor 61S has PPK feedbacks to provide the PPK feedback to time
stamp on the PPK GNSS.
We use the Emlid Reach M+ as example.
