Git2Control

Right now this is should allow a VERY basic control of the Gitup Git2 camera using Solex, and it's 'Remote Command' feature, and the Git2 camera must be configured to run on your Solo's wifi network.  I doubt the small camera will maintain network connectivity after about 5 to 10 meters away from the 3dr controller, so these commands will probably stop working as you fly away from your position. However I mainly wrote this for my use to simply start the recording, that way if I forget to start recording on the camera.  I've also found when powering on the solo, it will stop the recording if you've started it already.  Please note that this comes with no warranty and if after pressing the play button your solo bursts in to flames and plummets to the ground I am not to be held accountable.  Please test this fully before you fly.

Command Summary

What git2Control does is search for the camera on the network, then sends a command to start, stop, recStatus, and takePic.  Right now the number of commands is limited.  You can Start the recording, Stop the recording.  To take a picture first start the video capture, then while you're recording you can take snapshots.
