I ran a few surveys a couple of weeks ago. Now it looks like the survey option is gone. It's still there in Droid Planner but missing in Tower. Anybody else missing it?
It's moved around some in the last year but it is still there. Tap the squiggly line for spline then you will have a drop down menu to the right where you can select mission.I ran a few surveys a couple of weeks ago. Now it looks like the survey option is gone.

That is excellent news!It's moved around some in the last year but it is still there. Tap the squiggly line for spline then you will have a drop down menu to the right where you can select mission.
By the way; I flew a mission yesterday with the new mod for triggering the GoPro and it worked great! I set up the survey as usual then went in and selected the GoPro model. I put the GP in regular photo mode and it started taking pictures about 5 sec before it got to the first waypoint and continued through the mission then stopped.

Did you add the modded file to the Solo? You have to replace a file with a modified version. You can see the instructions here..Log into Facebook | FacebookJubalr can I ask what your setup is re: the Gopro?
H3 or H4? Plus? Black/Silver/Indigo-with-orange-spots?
Do you remember the image resolution settings?
I have been out all day trying to troubleshoot this. It would be lovely to have as a feature.

No I haven't. I happily have never registered with FB. Hoping to keep that going. Any chance you could give me some background? Maybe there's info somewhere else I can find. What sort of file is it? I'm also having issues getting Tower to accept new camera configs in the .xml file, maybe its related to that.Did you add the modded file to the Solo?

Thanks matey!This was for another mod. But the instructions to log into the Solo should still apply. Just don't apy any attention to the file they are changing. You just need to copy the file where stated in the instructions above..
Here is the post..

I am using Solo now for mapping. The main complain, no triggering of the camera for auto missions. So I solved that. This mod will trigger the GoPro to take pictures when the pixhawk sends a camera trigger command. This means that missions created in Tower or Mission Planner that insert a MAV_CMD_DO_SET_CAM_TRIGG_DIST command will now trigger the camera at the desired distance. Also MAV_CMD_DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL should trigger the camera.
Another complaint was how hard it was to geotag the images. This mod also stores a new log file under /log/geoRefXX.log with the positions Lat, Lon, MSL Alt, Vehicle Pitch, Vehicle Roll, Vehicle Yaw, Mount Pitch, Mount Roll, Mount Yaw and only when the GoPro confirms that an image was actually captured.
This is a step towards making survey missions easy on the Solo but its not complete. Still needs a bit of clean up, but it works for now.
to use this filev just replace the file in the Solo under /usr/bin/shotManager.py

I don't believe that Jaime is on this forum. That was a repost from the Solo Mod facebook group. I also believe that his modification is now included in the 1.3 update and no longer needed.Hi Jaime, Is this modification still working with the latest tower and solo updates? Or have you figured out a different way to geotag your photos? I'm struggling to figure it out. Thanks! Eben
