Gopro wifi #665

Some of this is also in another PR. What I did:

listener on commands.next so I can get notified when a waypoint is reached
camera class that connects to a GoPro3 over wifi (more cameras to come), and syncs time
shutter() method that engages the shutter and logs a geotag.

…when a waypoint is reached and the drone starts heading for the next one.

…uts from the AUV.

…ro class,

this is quite the signature, did you explore any other options to the servo attributes?, perhaps kwargs?

thinking about it kwargs makes sense here, if you don't have all the servo messages in kwargs, you won't be able to set them on the internal attrs of the class, you would then need to create a helper perhaps to get the servo message you are looking for .get(1) or some sort of helper that makes sense (this is just an idea)

We have been using the __str__ decorator for debugging purposes on all of our top-level classes, do you think this is the most useful representation of data we can get out of this class?, would you typically expect all of the variables to be set and by reading make something out of it?, what if we are logging this, do you think this is the appropriate way to read it?

mrpollo

Great addition, I would like it if you could make 2 PR's 1 for the servo class and the other for the much needed GoPro class.

I generally agree with your decisions but have some questions and advice I would like you to implement if you would like to continue contributing.

i would expect the logging to be part of some other utility, or at least to be able to change the file name and formats used by it, what do you think?

I wonder if we should use the CSV lib for this, did you consider that when exploring this solution?

I wonder if having a base class Camera object would be best here, you could inherit when creating a new camera object, that would allow us to maybe have a external modules, I would prefer that approach so we can standardize behind the same interfaces for cameras, this would allow for greater code re-use between apps.

can you create a url builder util for this class?, and perhaps add the IP as a variable too

are you planning on adding all of these to the gopro interface? I wonder if we should have a generic command class which is handling all of them, and expose shutter as a top level user of command('shutter')?

i think your gopro example needs its own example section, the mission_basic example isn't a good fit since not all the users are using or will use a gopro

@peterbarker can you do some review of the APM interfaces and overall architecture plz?

@hamishwillee do you have any pointers for documentation?
