Operational Troubleshooting

No Images Captured
1 If the camera did not capture any images during the mission, first perform a
physical inspection on the Aero.

Is the mini-USB cable connected to the camera’s USB port?

Are the AUX OUT 6 pins connected on Pixhawk?

AUX OUT 6: black (-), red (+), white (s)

Is the camera battery charged? Unlock the SD card to view the Canon’s

battery level indicator.

2 Take a distance-triggered test image on the ground by manually setting
the camera trigger distance parameter to 1 m.

Power the Aero and connect to Mission Planner. Select Config/Tuning and

Full Parameter List. Change the CAM_TRIGG_DIST parameter to 1, and select

Write Params. Disconnect the Aero from Mission Planner, and carry for a few

meters to see if the autopilot triggers the camera.

Mission Planner Full Parameter List: Set CAM_TRIGG_DIST to 1.
