Time Mark functionality

[gtcheer]

I am trying to determine how to sync my photos and GPS readings, and I want to better understand the exact functionality of the Time Mark pin. Does pulling the Time Mark pin down signal the Reach to simply record the time at which a picture was taken, or does it signal to the Reach to record the GPS at that exact moment in time?

If it simply records the time at which a picture was taken, how do I use that information along with the GPS logs to give my pictures a location?

Hello? Anyone out there? Do I need to provide more information in order to get a response?

Not my cup of tea but i`ll give it a shot.

The function trigger in ReachView

Hi, I see in ReachView, there is a trigger camera menu. [image] Is this function for trigger all kind of camera? Is there a specific cable needed? And how to install? When ReachView triggered a camera, what will happen next? Thank you

Timestamps 0.1sec. Camera recommendation?

Hi guys. Any body have experience about camera. I’m looking for camera with timestamp 0.1sec and timelapse for aerial photo. Maybe there is one of you have this experience or same like that. Or maybe reach set to 1 sec logger, and canon to 1 sec timestamp. Will it be matched? Any idea for camera, in altitude about 150m but can produce good quality images, 5cm per pixel.

Synchronizing camera trigger to GPS position

I need to take photos and know exactly where they were taken in terms of centimeter precise GPS coordinates (using RTK). This probably goes back to RTKLIB being able to emit some kind of SW event (calling some callback function in C) or better even emit a HW trigger signal to a GPIO. Has anyone thought about this? Can this be solved somehow with Reach or with RTKLIB in general maybe by using different HW than Reach?

Hope this gets you rolling
