Are CAM1, CAM2 and A2 PWM-Outputs?

Post by Amigorodrigo »

Hi guys!

Just ordered the new board from here...
http://www.multiwiicopter.com/products/ ... board-v2-0
...and there are additional connectors "The main difference to the warthox board is the addition of 3 outputs A0(camera1), A1(Camera2) and A2(for future Alex software upgrades) "
A0...A2 are AnalogInputs - did Alex manage to get PWM-Signals out of these to connect additional Servos?!

btw.
@Alex: Awesome Job starting this great project!!! THX

Yes,
It's possible to drive a servo from any free PINs, analogical or digital.
a cam trigger option is coming

Nice!

So if you have a sum-signal-receiver - you can use the "official" PWM-Outputs: 3,5,6,9,10,11 for a Y6-Setup and have servos for the cam as well on Cam1 and Cam2!?

It would be nice, but there is an exception for HEX6 or Y6.
No servo can be driven with these setups, because all the timers are taken to drive the 6 motors.

For other 3 or 4 setups, yes there is no more servo limitations.
It should be possible to activate tilt ROLL+PITCH +cam trigger

What a shame :?

So the real advantage is that you can use a standard receiver plus servos for camera-stabilization?

Maybe a suggestion:
You could use 2 multiwii boards + 1 PPM SUM receiver.
- 1 board for Y6 with 4 or 5 channels
- the other one for cam with the remaining channels

Or switching to a seeeduino MEGA...
