MAV_CMD_IMAGE_START_CAPTURE
How are you handling the mavlink camera protocol exchange within voxl-px4? I know that there is the ability to forward commands to the GCS if using mission commands (but not manually flipping an RC switch).
Alternatively when using a joystick you can map a button to image capture: https://docs.px4.io/v1.15/en/camera/mavlink_v2_camera.html#manual-controllers
Currently the mavcam manager fully implements the camera protocol to send the ack for the incoming mavlink commands. It also handles the capture and video stream status (satisfies the mavlink camera protocol).
My only issue with implementing this is that the upstream voxl-px4 will not be camera protocol compliant and thus we are bypassing the entire protocol just to get camera image capture from the autopilot instead of the GCS (which also implements the same camera protocol). If you have a way to implement the protocol (even a stripped down version of it) please send a link so I can look at the code.
