GoPro Hero9 and API reliability

[WalterCEden]

I have been trying to use the API to trigger the GoPro Hero9 to take a photo.
I am using a BeagleBone Linux based microcomputer and have it connected via a USB cable (brand new, high quality with high data transfer rates). I downgraded the firmware to 1.22 because I read somewhere that 1.7 had problems with the API on Hero9. I have also seen posts from users saying that they did get this working but it was not reliable. I need this setup to take a picture on command via the API about every 500ms for 10-15 minutes without missing a picture.

A) Is this doable on the Hero9 with the API? if so, what is the stack I need to make this work?
B) Is this reliable for the application?
