WayPoint Event

Each scaled WayPoint in the MikroKopterTool-OSD has a field "WP-Event" (WayPoint-Event).
With each WayPoint-Flight you can trigger i.e. a camera automatically after reaching the appropriate WayPoint.

If the Kopter reaches the WayPointthe Kopter stays there for the delay time set under the tab "Time".
During the delay time the value will be transfered to the FlightCtrl entered under WP-Event.

The functions and the settings of the WayPoints are described here: MikroKopterTool-OSD

The Settings

On the FlightCtrl you have two switch-output which can be controlled over the WP-Event.
The transfered value determines here the switching time of each little casket under "Bitmask".

An add-on device attached to the switch output such as a ShutterCable or an Extention Board can i.e. trigger a camera in appropriate intervalls.
So that a switch output reacts to a WP-Event you need to make different settings.

It helps you alot if you can trigger the camera already over a button at your transmitter.

A describtion how to trigger a camera over a button you will find here: CameraConnect

The Channel Assignment

If you use a channel to trigger your camrea on your transmitter a function for this channel is assigned over the settings (POTI1-8).
(KopterTool >Settings >Channels)
This POTI will be assigned to the appropriate switch output.
(KopterTool >Settings >Outputs)

Been able to use now the WayPoint-Event we assign to the "POTI" the entry "WP-Event".
In this example we want to use POTI8 which reacts normally to channel 12:

The function "POTI8" will be assigned now to the used switch output.
In this example the ShutterCable is connected to output1:

Switch Examples

Over each casket behind "Bitmask" you can determine the switch sequence of the output.
The switch time of each casket will be determined with the value entered under WP-Event.

Let's take a few WP-Event values which are assigned for WayPoints and let's have a look to the function of the switch output in some examples.
How would the output switch with this values?

For Information:
The switching operation will be repeated as long until the set "Time" for the WayPoint is counted down.
Example: Is under "Time" a 10 entered the Kopter will stay for 10 sec. at that WayPoint and during this time the value of the WP-Event will be transfered.

WP-Event = 0
Is a "0" entered under WP-Event the function is OFF. The output will be not switched and a camera will be not triggered.

WP-Event = 50
Is a "50" entered under WP-Event is the time per casket 0,5 seconds (50x10ms = 500ms = 0,5sek).

WP-Event = 100
Is a "100" entered under WP-Event is the time per casket 1 second (100x10ms = 1000ms = 1sek).

WP-Event = 200
Is a "200" enterd under WP-Event is the time per casket 2 seconds (200x10ms = 2000ms = 2sek).

Here are some examples how you could switch the caskets (other patterns are possible):
