I am trying to set up the external camera control feature to start a GoPro camera. I think i have the GoPro and the Trackaddict app talking to each other. I can see a green ExtCam box at the Trackaddict start screen and what appears to be a symbol of a full-charged battery, also in green. The app does power up the camera, but I guess I will have to put it in the car and get above 10mph to start recording. (next step and will post results as a reply).
I am at home, so I thought I would test the feature before going to the track, so I have it in segment mode. when I tap the record icon at the bottom of the screen, I get an error message that reads: "Failed to start video recording! Please check your device's settings and ensure that this app has access to use the microphone.
Is there as setup that I am missing? I think I also got this message the other day at VIR, but then, I was not using the external camera control, so i don't think it was this. The reason i say I THINK I got the message is that well, I'm 67 and need reading glasses for fonts less that 24 and two arm's length away. i saw a message pop up and it was about the same size as this one. TrackAddict did perform correctly and collected my OBD2 and lap data.
