Tetracam S_link

About Tetracam S_link Android App

S_link is the mobile device version of Tetracams SensorLink application. S_link uses your mobile device GPS receiver and Bluetooth system to guide you to pre-determined waypoints and (optionally) trigger your Bluetooth serial adapter equipped Tetracam camera and the mobile device camera. Images are written with location and device attitude data.

An installation and setup guide is available at http://www.tetracam.com/S_link.pdf

To use S_link:

Use Google Earth to create a path then save it to a kml file. Each click on the path should represent a waypoint.
Copy the kml file to the Download folder in your device storage memory.
Run S_link and select your waypoint file on the KML tab.
To trigger the camera, first pair the camera Bluetooth serial adapter to your mobile device
then select it from the list of all paired Bluetooth devices on the CAMERA tab.
Finally, enable camera triggering on the Settings dialog.
Now, press Start!
The app will use the device GPS receiver to give you a heading and distance to the next waypoint.
When you acquire the waypoint, if your camera is equipped with a BlueTooth serial adapter, S_link will send it the
current location data along with a trigger command.

Use the SETCAM tab to send configuration orders to the camera, change file type, exposure time etc.

The Settings dialog lets you select GPS update rate, waypoint tolerance zone size, the units (km or miles) you see on screen, voice messaging rate and type and whether to use Bluetooth for camera triggering.
