The Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber is a critical component in the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk system, designed to minimize the effects of vibrations and shocks on the sensitive electronics. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pinouts and connection guide for the Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber.
Pinouts:
The Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber has a total of 10 pins, divided into two rows of 5 pins each. The pinouts are as follows:
Row 1:
1. Vin (Pin 1): Input voltage pin, providing power to the shock absorber. Recommended voltage range is 3.3V to 5V.
2. GND (Pin 2): Ground pin, providing a reference point for the shock absorber's circuitry.
3. Signal In (Pin 3): Input signal pin, connected to the vibration sensor output.
4. Signal Out (Pin 4): Output signal pin, providing a filtered and amplified vibration signal to the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module.
5. Enable (Pin 5): Enable pin, allowing the user to toggle the shock absorber's functionality. Active high (default is enabled).
Row 2:
1. Vout (Pin 6): Output voltage pin, providing a regulated voltage to the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module. Typical output voltage is 3.3V.
2. GND (Pin 7): Ground pin, providing a reference point for the output voltage.
3. Sensor VCC (Pin 8): Voltage supply pin for the external vibration sensor.
4. Sensor GND (Pin 9): Ground pin for the external vibration sensor.
5. Test (Pin 10): Test pin, used for debugging and testing purposes.
Connection Guide:
To connect the Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber to the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module, follow these steps:
1. Connect Vin (Pin 1) to the power source: Connect the Vin pin to a stable 3.3V to 5V power source, ensuring a reliable power supply to the shock absorber.
2. Connect GND (Pin 2) to the system ground: Connect the GND pin to the system ground, providing a common reference point for the shock absorber's circuitry.
3. Connect Signal In (Pin 3) to the vibration sensor output: Connect the Signal In pin to the output of the external vibration sensor.
4. Connect Signal Out (Pin 4) to the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module: Connect the Signal Out pin to the corresponding input on the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module, ensuring a filtered and amplified vibration signal.
5. Connect Enable (Pin 5) to a digital output (optional): If desired, connect the Enable pin to a digital output on the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module, allowing the user to toggle the shock absorber's functionality.
6. Connect Vout (Pin 6) to the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module: Connect the Vout pin to the corresponding power input on the APM-KK-MWC-PixHawk module, providing a regulated voltage.
7. Connect GND (Pin 7) to the system ground: Connect the GND pin to the system ground, providing a common reference point for the output voltage.
8. Connect Sensor VCC (Pin 8) to the vibration sensor VCC: Connect the Sensor VCC pin to the power input of the external vibration sensor.
9. Connect Sensor GND (Pin 9) to the vibration sensor GND: Connect the Sensor GND pin to the ground pin of the external vibration sensor.
10. Leave Test (Pin 10) unconnected (default): Leave the Test pin unconnected, unless required for debugging and testing purposes.

  camera.init();
  
  // Mount the PixHawk camera to the Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber
  camera.mountTo(avsa);
  
  // Initialize the APM-KK-MWC system
  APM_KK_MWC.init();
}

void loop() {
  // Capture an image using the PixHawk camera
  camera.captureImage();
  
  // Process the image data
  processImage(camera.getImageData());
  
  // Repeat the image capture cycle
  delay(1000);
}
```

Example 2: Integration with APM-KK-MWC Flight Controller

In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the Anti-Vibration Shock Absorber to stabilize the APM-KK-MWC flight controller.

```c
#include <APM_KK_MWC.h>
#include <AntiVibrationShockAbsorber.h>

// Define the APM-KK-MWC flight controller object
