Configuring the camera with the ArduPilot
Configuring the camera with the ArduPilot is easy. Remember the chapter where we made a package delivery drone? We can use the same trick here to control the gimbal servo while flying the drone or some other options of the ArduPilot.
Before going any further, let us learn a few things about the camera gimbal's Euler angels:
- Tilt: This moves the camera sloping position (range -90 degrees to +90 degrees), it is the motion (clockwise-anticlockwise) with the vertical axis
- Roll: This is a motion ranging from 0 degrees to 360 degrees parallel to the horizontal axis
- Pan: This is the same type motion of roll ranging from 0 degrees to 360 degrees but in the vertical axis
- Shutter: This is a switch that triggers ...
