I'm checking with Xacti to be sure they're happy with this being merged. |
Result? Silence? |

Hi @peterbarker, Silence I'm afraid.. I will be talking to them again in the near-ish future so I'll ping them again. |

This tool allows configuring the Xacti cameras from the command line. Note that it is a C++ application and this PR does not include a binary so it must be compiled before use.
In particular it exposes the "Mass Storage Class" mode which allows pictures and videos to be downloaded directly from the camera to a companion computer via the USB port.
This has been tested on Windows, UBuntu and RPI.
This was used during the Japan Innovation Challenge to remotely download images from the search & rescue vehicle's Xacti camera.
The biggest question is whether this tool should be in the main ArduPilot repo or somewhere else (e.g. the Companion repo?)
