Weather over the weekend would have made a launch impossible... but thats not why we couldn't launch. The script being run by the camera kept activating the flash unit, which would have drained the batteries very quickly and would have been completely pointless.
Yesterday I finally perfected the script which also turns off the LCD backlight. The camera will take 8 pictures, 5 seconds apart, and then follow up with 20 seconds of video. After that the script will return to taking pictures.
As I write this the camera is now running this script to test how long the batteries will last. We would ideally like it to be able to run for 2 hours on a charge - but around 90 minutes will suffice.
