3DR EAI
3DR EAI is based on KAP UAV Exposure Control Script v3.1: a great open-
source project for kite and UAV aerial photography.
Start and Stop Script
Ensure the camera is set to P (program) mode before powering the camera.
Upon startup, 3DR EAI starts automatically and listens for commands from the
autopilot, indicated by waiting for USB signal. To stop (and re-start) the script, press
the shutter button. The script will display INTERRUPTED when stopped.
CHDK Menu
The CHDK menu contains all the standard options provided with CHDK.
To access the CHDK menu, stop the script and select the MENU button.
Script Menu
The script menu allows you to change the parameters associated with the script
itself, including changing the trigger mode and adjusting exposure. To open the
script menu, stop the script and select the FUNC. SET button. These parameters
are configured for the Aero and SX260 and do not require adjustment as part of
standard operation.
Trigger Type
This parameter allows you to control how the camera captures images.
Trigger type defaults to USB for distance-based imaging during mapping
missions. For time-based imaging, select Interval and specify the length in the
Shot Interval parameter.
Trigger Type default: USB (mapping)
Variable intervalometer: Interval (default to 2 seconds, specified by Shot Interval)
Script start: waiting on USB signal
Script stopped: INTERRUPTED FINISHED
