GoPro SS#2-want to record for 2 minutes

Post by greengrass »

I have a Gorpo that is controlled by an SS#2 board. Currently the Gopro only records for ~13 seconds each time motion is sensed, but I would like the GoPro to record for two minutes each time. I have the Gorpo program, but I am not sure how/which part of the program I need to modify so that the board allows the camera to record for two minutes.

Hopefully this is the correct part of the program for what I am asking. The current program for the camera on is as follows:

Camera ON
Pause 5000
Low CameraPowerPin
Sleep 5
High CameraPowerPin ' Turn Camera OFF
Pause 4000
Low CameraPowerPin
Sleep DelayBetweenPictures

If I wanted my GoPro to stay on for two minutes...would I just change the "pause 4000"(under the Turn camera off) to a larger number to increase the amount of time that the board would keep the camera on? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the whole program? Just use the code tags, above where you are typing your post you will see the word "code" in a box, click on that and paste your code in the middle

Code: Select all

Change the number for "Sleep". 1 sleep equals 2.3 seconds, so "Sleep 5" = 5 * 2.3 = 11.5 seconds. For 2 minutes: 120 Seconds/2.3 = 52.17, so a "Sleep 52" will do about 2 minutes.

Thanks Gary! I didn't write the Gopro code and haven't gotten permission to publicly post it. In other words, someone put a lot of work into it and it's not mine.

It looks like my code, so post away if you ever need to.
