MicaSense RedEdge-MX Disabled “Disabled” should be set when triggering via Skyport (PSDK), HTTP API, or the serial (MAVLink) API. This mode disables the camera’s automatic triggering functions, and will require trigger commands directly from the drone via PSDK, HTTP, or MAVLink, depending on the integration. Downwelling Light Sensor 2 (DLS 2) Th ...

MicaSense RedEdge-MX DLS 2 Installation Guidelines The DLS 2 should always be the highest object on the aircraft in order to avoid shadows or reflections. It contains an integral GPS sensor that may be utilized for geotagging of the RedEdge-MX imagery if system GPS signals are not provided to the sensor by other means. Install the module where it will ...

External Trigger The sensor can be set to trigger by the rising-edge of a pulse, the falling-edge of a pulse, or a PWM signal (such as is typically used with standard servos). When using a PWM signal as the trigger, the sensor detects a transition from a “long” PWM to a “short” PWM (or vice-versa). When using PWM, rising-e ...
