Connecting to the Autopilot

Connect the camera’s SHUTTER pin to one of the autopilot’s PWM outputs (e.g. AUXOUT 5). Below is the wiring for a ADTi 24sv3 but the port location may be different for each camera type. Please open the ADTi support site, select your camera type and refer to the “Camera Engineer Drawings” to find the SHUTTER pin location for your camera
