No luck here :(

Using a Canon 5D MkII, HTC One M7 (Sense 6 / 4.4.2).

I received the MR3040 earlier today and was all excited, but couldn't get DLSRcontroller to recognise the camera. The app works fine via USB OTG cable, BTW (and great app!) - but nothing when connecting over WiFi.

I noticed the camera doesn't stay on very long when it's connected via USB to the TP-Link, so I suspect the USB bridge is not working or being recognised properly? With a 2.2 version does the camera stay on indefinitely while it's connected via USB (even if DSLRcontroller is not connected)?

I haven't looked into the OpenWRT settings on the TP-Link yet, is there anything worth trying out?

Thanks,

-Alex

Also, one more thing... sorry if this has been posted before, maybe I'm not searching for the right terms...

Have you documented somewhere what configuration settings need to be changed from a "standard" OpenWRT installation on the MR3040 to make it work with DSLRcontroller (at least for 2.2 which we know works)? Other than the wireless network settings, what else has been modified?

Thanks again!

Me again... and I have to add that serendipity strikes again...

I was messing around trying to get this to work and I had to run to answer the doorbell... I accidentally yanked the USB cable and basically ruined the connector... thankfully the camera wasn't knocked over, it was on a fairly sturdy mount!

Anyway... I grabbed another USB 2.0 cable, and on my next try the 2.3 MR3040 worked fine!!! I haven't fully tested it yet, but have turned the TP-Link on and off a few times, same with the camera, disconnected/reconnected the cable a few times too, and everything looks good. Kinda wondering what sort of crappy cable I was using before! So I'm a happy camper right now :D

My previous question about the OpenWRT configuration still stands, it would be nice to hear what customizations were applied to the standard installation...

Will it work with samsung galaxy s duos..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stefanhengen:
I just tested this combo - did not work for me.

My Setup:

Canon 7D, TP Link MR3040 V2, latest DSLRcontroller

Works on S4 Active with stock Android 4.2.2 ROM and also on S2 with CM 10.1.3

On the S4 Active I sometimes encounter connection issues.

When I start the app on the Nook HD+ it is unable to connect

"Could not find a compatible camera..."

If somebody has an idea where to start digging, I am happy to check...

I can rue out the cam and the WiFi bridge, since this works on two other devices.

Unfortunetely I do not have an OTG cable for the Nook, so I can only use WiFi.

Timelapse without interval

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

The application is great. I use it in the Timelapse function as an intervalometer for making star trails.

I want to know if there is way to remove the minimum of 100 milliseconds of interval between photos

Thanks

Confirmed running latest dslrcontroller app with v2.x TP Link 3040, canon 60D running magic lantern. Didn't run it through the paces, but was able to see the camera and release the shutter. Running on NoteII with leaked 4.4 stock rom (rooted). Will be using it more now that I have cut the cord.

Surprised I was able to change firmware to TP Link via wifi from phone. Never plugged it into network, all wifi.

router "turned off" message after connecting

Hello all you awesome DSLR controller users!

I'm using the tp link with a 5D_M3 and the Samsung note 3 and the first few days it worked fantastic. However I tried firing it back up and the tp link router was updated to the latest firmware last week. Now when I launch the app it connects for a minute or two and then disconnects!? When I go to the Wifi setting I see the router listed as "turned off" but it's clearly on. I tried re - flashing the router and hard resetting my phone but still not working... The tp link hooks up to my mac as stays connected without problems. What could be causing this? Please help!

Hi Chainfire!

First i want to complement you on your great work. I have installed your firmware on the TL3040 i ordered, it workes like a charm icm. my 700D.

Combined with a cheap android tablet it's great! I have impressed a lot of family members with your app :)

For now there is just one thing i'm missing in your firmware, i would love to have the option to just send a trigger command, by http, tcp or whatever e.g. 192.x.x.:port/shoot. ( or a kind of json / rest api) This would give me the possibillity to create a webapp on a cheap android phone as a simple remote control, connected to the 3040, to make selfies of me, together with my pregnant wife, my current self made "klik aan klik uit" remote control has a limited range... It would also give me the opportunity to play around with my raspberry pi, control over wifi instead of gpio pins and a couple of mosfets. Combine it with my home domotic system etc etc.

This function can be added to the to link firmware but also to the android app, however integrating it in the firmware would make an android client optional. I noticed my regular EOS remote is disabled when using the USB connection.

Hope you can help me out on this, or put it on your app's wishlist :)

Hello, i've tested the app on my Xperia Z 4.4.2 with my Canon 650d. It's work perfectly using the TL MR3040. Just a noob question, is there any way that could reduce the lag? anyway it's a god job! :D

Hi, today i can't get the apps to talk to my camera, neither with USB or with router... I recently updated my ROM (Clean 3.6 on Nexus 7)

I don't see any other reason, it was working fine until today.

Any suggestion beside going back to Clean 3.5 ?

Thanks

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonnyrocks4:
Hey, I absolutely love the app!

I wanted to suggest a feature I would love to have:

A combination of the focus bracketing and the timelapse mode.

So you can control the focus during timelapse recording.

I tried to manually adjust the focus on the lense each frame but it's not consistent and also I can't adjust in small enough steps.

So focus buttons rep. focus from A to B during timelapse would be awesome.

Thanks for your work! :good:

Calibrated tablet

In my eagerness about DSLR Controller, I'm jumping the gun and asking a question before I've been able to actually use the app. I'm awaiting the arrival of the proper OTG USB cable for my Asus tf700t's non-standard combo charging/usb port.

The only way I could find some months ago of profiling an Android tablet's display for color accuracy was the Spyder Gallery app (used with a Spyder colorimeter). This app can only apply the resulting profile within its own Gallery app.

I am wildly ignorant about coding, so please bear with me if my question is naive or blatantly impossible.

Can DSLR Controller be configured (or easily altered?) to function in any way inside the Spyder Gallery? This would shorten the steps for soft-proofing shots (by not requiring that each saved shot be separately opened in the SGallery), or - even better - grab and use the profile generated by the Spyder software and apply it within DSLR Controller?

Thanks for your patience, and for a really cool app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] marcbkk:
I am using the latest version of DSLR Controller with a TP-Link TL-MR3040 router Ver 2.3 and the DSLR Controller app drops the connection constantly.

Usually I am no more than 5-10 feet away from the camera with the tablet so it is not a distance issue. When it drops the connection, the tablet still has the connection to the router, but I need to restart the DSLR Controller app to get it all working again. Other times I have to restart the camera and the app to get the connection with the app working again. Sometimes I even need to power the router off and restart it too.

I am using a Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 running Android KitKat 4.4.

Has anyone else had this same problem? Perhaps my router is a newer version (Ver 2.3) and the DLSR Controller custom firmware needs to be updated for it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spoogedemon:
I´m using DSLRController since it appears on the Play Store, and it´s still awesome, and, it becomes better and better... ;)

Now I just added the TL-MR3040 to my setup, and this works as well.

But one question.

OpenWRT is very powerful, and I had it on other routers before.

But I wonder if the router works exactly like it should for any other application, even the DSLR-version is flashed?

Since I´m often use a small router connecting in hotel rooms with cable to share internet connection via Wi-Fi, it would be great to have just the 3040 with me for DSLR and normal use in the future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Vampire_Dracula:
I like a lot the latest update [2014.07.09] mainly because of the timelapse enhancements.

I have one suggestion, to make it even better, please add additional controls:

- ISO control in all shooting modes

- exposure compensation, when shooting in AV

- a histogram!!!

When shooting in AV, the camera has the tendency to increase the ISO before increasing the exposure time. Controlling the ISO can help maintaining a low noise frame longer.

Moreover, when shooting in AV, it is sometimes useful to be able to manually vary the exposure compensation (i.e sunsets). A histogram can help with a proper exposure to the right.

The histogram can also make the holy-grail method possible with DSLR Controller. It can be even more useful than the little thumbnail showing the last frame.

Problem with EOS 450 D

Hi Chainfire

I admire all your android works. In particular, DSLR Controller is one my favorite apps and definitely the best android camera controller out there.

I know that I don't have much of a saying here since I use DSLC with a low end EOS 450D (based on VxWorks OS) in a MR3040 WiFi setup.

Up till now version 0.99 was the only version which relatively worked smoothly in my set up. Although in HDR bracketing mode and when shutter is set to BULB, exposures longer than 30 seconds caused a communication error with camera which crashed the app.

Any newer version of the app, specially v. 0.99.4 and 0.99.5 of the app are even more incompatible with my camera, constantly crashing and force quitting.

As I said I don't expect too much, but if possible could you please look into the issue and see if it can be fixed somehow?

Thank you and warm regards

Back focus

Hi Chainfire

I'm using your DSLR Controller from the first moment I find it in the Market...

I had the EOS 5D mkII then the III and now the 1D X, worked fine with all of them and recently I added the TL-MR3040 which work fine too.

THANK YOU for this amazing app.

The ONLY problem I'm facing is that the DSLR confuse itself in the beginning as I use "Back Focus" and thinks that my AF doesn't work and only Manual focus is available... I had this problem from the time I started use "BF" with my 5DIII... Any chance you can allow the Back focus in the app??????? PLEASE!!! :D

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Hi mate

I think that if your camera allow the "Mirror Lock Up" then the only think you need is to set up your camera and the DSLR will use your setup...

I haven't try it with mine, please don't be upset if I'm wrong :laugh:

Ooops Correction: Didn't work with mine.... Sorry!

time to capture is double

I've been using your product since a very early release. It's been great do far.

In the early versions, I was able to take a 10 second exposure and it would take about ten seconds. Sometime in the last year, it now takes twice as long as my exposure before I get an image. If I have it set to 15 second, the timer on the screen actually hits 30 before I see something.

Is this a setting somewhere that controls this?

Add Keywords to EXIF/IPTC on the fly

Hello All!

Is it possible to set "keyword" metadata on the fly?

For example:

1) tether the the camera to a tablet w/ this app.

2) set the "desired keyword" to..."dog".

3) take a bunch of pictures of a dog (all these image would have "dog" added to the exif/iptc keyword field.)

4) change keyword to "cat"

5) take a bunch of pictures of a cat (all the new images would have "cat" added to the exif/iptc keyword field.)

etc, etc...

If this is even possible, this would make high volume photography (school photos, youth sports, etc) very attainable for me....and very easy as it would allow for rapid post processing organization b/c the images would already be "tagged" w/ the appropriate "identifying information".

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Chainfire, first started using this app a few years ago...but at the time all I had was a flakey hacked Nook.

Now I have a 2013 Nexus7. Works fantastic! I am sitting outside taking some long exposure night shots, kicked back in the chair with the tablet on my lap!

Literally plug and play!

I noticed in the settings there was a placeholder for Bramping..I didn't see anything in the FAQ about it. Is there a timeline for it?

Thanks for the great app!

I recommend looking at some other Android software versions...but it is possible that capability is not even in the hardware I suppose...

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

I would say it depends on your Android hardware...but also your cameras ability to access the card.

Does it take the same amount of time with a freshly formatted card as with a full card?

My setup takes a few seconds. (maybe 3 max)

contrast. feature or suggestion request =)

! resolved: i realized i can make my own picture styles. :resolved !

hi chainfire! just bought dslr controller. it is one great app!

i was a bit disappointed though when the contrast filter did not turn out to be a filter that just adds contrast to the liveview picture on my phone .. because that was the thing i was looking for.

i am learning how to light a scene and thus would benefit of something that adds a huge amount of contrast on the display so i can more easily see what parts of my photo are going to be too dark and which parts too bright. do you think this would be feasible in future releases? =)

i have actually been looking for this kind of feature for quite a while. installed magic lantern to find it, tried external displays with contrast adjustments, tried to find even software for just the android camera to be able to do this. tried finding filters that would add contrast to the whole screen of my android device. even tried coding stuff. but to no avail... =/

to re-iterate and clarify: a contrast adjustment-slider or selector like in photoshop but for live viewing is what i´m looking for. canon´s own "picture styles" don´t go nearly far enough for me.

thanks for listening ;)

Hey there,

I can personally say that combination works great, I use the Tab S 8.4 daily and have tested and have had no problems with that combination

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Hey guys!

So much love for your incredible software! You guys are my heros!

I use your software to take BULB shots and have LOVED that i could press once to start and press again to stop an exposure, So much so that as soon as i heard that Android WEAR was going to have a remote shutter... I ordered one immediately!

Just received it and im sad to see that pressing the shutter button on the watch in BULB mode just clicks the shutter open and closed (no way to do more than a 1s bulb picture with the watch! :(. )

Would REALLY love to see the Tap to start, Tap again to end Feature brought over to the watch! Would make my life!!

By the way! here are some devices to add to your compatibility list!

galaxy note pro 12.2, Galaxy Tab pro 12.2, galaxy tab S 10.1, Galaxy Tab S 8.4

All of those devices work GREAT with DSLR controller both wired and wireless!

All we need now is some fantasy hostpot called something like the MR7080 With 802.11AC And instantaneous liveview! that would be SOOO epic!!

You guys are seriously the most badass programmers ever, DSLRController is so beyond awesome it has literally changed my life, And allowed me to improve the lives of SO many people! Thank you from the bottom of my soul to the top of my mind!~!

I still have problems with the EOS7d 2.0.5 with AND without ML (but more, when ML is activated) and a Nexus 7 2012.

1) sometimes i connect, the cam crashes, I had to switch off on.

2) sometimes after focusing (!) the cam with the app it needs about 2 to 3 seconds to change any values inside the app, then the focusfield is not green any more and it is working again or stays freezed ...

For me it is a kind of buggy so I can not use the tablet for video production, because it always crashes the cam or turns off the camdisplay or ... and YES, the cam and the tablet alone are working perfekt ;)

Any suggestions? Anybody using this combination who can tell me his settings, maybe something is wrong in the 7d or within the app ...

Thanx,

Confirmed working with Canon 50D, Lenovo A5500 (A8) Tablet, Both Tethered and with TP-Link 3040. It all worked as advertised but I still want more :)

It would be nice if your DSLRController app was not hard coded to search for the DSLRController server app on the TP-Link. I would like to put the TP-Link as a client on my home wifi but your app won't find it there. I know this would take extra setup in the app to configure a server but it would be much more flexible.

Still nice work.

For those wanting to know the differences between a regular openwrt and DSLRController openwrt, They basically added a server program starting up out of /etc/init.d/DSLRController. They have also added the supporting shared libraries needed for their server program. Unfortunately it appears IP addresses and such are hardcoded so there is no easy way to move the network.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Not sure what the problem may be, but the IP addresses are *not* hardcoded.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wr3ck5:
I stand corrected. your server is listening in on udp broadcast address. Once I disabled the eth0 it started listening on wireless address. Normally I guess these would be bridged under an ap configuration. Which means it works for what I need. yay!

Getting: "Could not find a compatible camera" connecting via TP-LINK

Canon 5d MkII camera

TP-Link TL-MR3040 v2 router for WiFi

Nexus Galaxy 7 tablet (the original one)

Pipo Pro M6 tablet

Let me start by saying this used to work fine for both of the tablets listed above. Now on both of them I get the message "Could not find a compatible camera..." when launching DSLR Controller with a WiFi connection. Both tablets show that the WiFi connection is connected and signal strength is excellent. Each tablet works fine if I connect via USB.

I have tried all the suggestions such as pressing the shutter button and turning the camera off and on.I have tested with multiple USB cables and multiple OTG adapter cables. All cable combinations work via USB but none work via WiFi. Obviously something must have changed because this worked fine previously. However, I have no idea what that would be or what else I can try.
