I came here looking for the exact same solution - bought a WR902AC via Amazon, not knowing that only Version 1 hardware was supported (or even that there were different hardware versions). Chainfire should specify on the DIY page that current firmware only works w V1. Additionally, I'd suggest releasing any current source for the LEDE customizations so that someone else can figure out how to create firmware for more modern versions - this would only help DSLR sales further since alternate solutions like Case Air, CamRanger and Cam-Fi are much more expensive.

Does anyone else get these popups when starting DSLR controller, that say something about "This app was developed for an older version of android and might not work properly anymore, contact the developer"?

I found that on my new phone ( oneplus 6t ) I have to turn off mobile data in order to get connected to the tp-link mr3040. On my older Oppo R7sf phone it worked with mobile data on.

So try turning off mobile data :)

DSLR controller features

Introducing me.

I am a retired scientist and IT maintainer and I have been a professional photographer when I was young and starving. I have been a keen amateur photographer favoring landscapes for over half a century. I recently purchased a used Canon 6D body and have just installed DSLR Controller.

The meat of the matter.

DSLR controller definitely meets your claim of it being the best program of its type available and in typical scientist fashion, I can say that because I tried all of them that I could find reviews of. However, it could be better.

For tripod work, one of the basic things one does with a SLR is engage mirror lock-up, why is this not available as a remote control?

In the bracketing modes (eg HDR), I believe you have the choices of varying aperture or shutter the wrong way around.

When not using an app, when one engages Tv on the mode dial, one does that because one wants to manually set the shutter time to a fixed value and let the camera vary the aperture as required. DSLR controller does things in reverse - when one sets the Tv mode, the bracketting controls then only allow you to set shutter speeds and ISO values and because the camera is set to Tv, one is unable to set the single shutter speed one requires. The corresponding modes problems apply when one sets Av on the camera's mode dial.

Finally, I would have thought that it would be relatively trivial to allow the user to save all the camera's current settings to a file on the Android and to be able to recall and apply those settings at a later time. I, for one, would find this facility extremely useful.

Keep up the good work.

Hi, Firstly you may waiting a long time to get a reply fom the developers here. Secondly, I'm sure that once the camera is connected to DSLRC the mirror will be locked up as if not you would not see an image on your phone/pad. No longer delve into HDR as Luminosity Masks give better results. Russ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OldBikerPete:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, to go into live view, the camera raises the mirror, so when DSLR controller connects the mirror pops up. The trouble is that, when it goes to take a photo, it first drops the mirror, then raises it again, activates the shutter, drops the mirror then raises the mirror again to re-activate live viewing. Take the lens off in a dimly lit room and you can watch all this happening - ridiculous, I know but that's Canon.

When mirror lockup is active, one can set a time delay of 2 or 10 seconds in which case when the mirror pops up again to expose the shutter that delay is applied at that time, so that any vibration caused by mirror motion has time to settle before the shutter is activated.

You should not represent your opinion re: Luminosity masks as fact as it is only an opinion.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] russellsnr:
OK, have a look at QDSLR Dashboard, yes you will have pay I beleive 10 Euros but again OMO you get a better service from the forum there than here. I asked just today about your mirrir lock up question and got a reply within a couple hours.

Currently you must use the camera menu to enable/disable the mirror lockup mode (will fix for next version the property).

After you enabled the mirror lockup mode you can use the capture button that will raise the mirror and then you need to press the 'Capture' button in the dialog the execute the actual capture.

Or you can use the mirror delay button on left to add an 1, 2 or 3 sec delay.

I bought and downloaded this app - only to then discover that it doesn't seem to work with the following combo: phone= Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra / camera: Canon 5DS - when i installed and launched the app - the first message i get is that it was designed for older versions of Android and may not work... and then when I try and search for the camera - nothing appears (despite this being configured correctly) - I'm also able to use Canon Connect no problem... shame really, this app looks like it has a lot of promise - but doesn't seem to have been developed to it's full potential.

I bought this hoping to be able to record "Live View Feed" to my Android device, is there anyway of doing this at the full resolution of Live View? It's useful in planetary imaging and I thought this supported Video Feed but Video Feed is 1080 for my 2000D and Live View through Photos is a full 1:1

Has anyone tried using an esp8266 module for a wifi adapter? I have a 5D mk iii so no wifi, but it may be possible to use a USB to esp8266 with or without Arduino to connect the app through wifi? The router normally used is not available here. The esp8266 is also cheaper even if Arduino nano is needed. 😉
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lennyroquai:
Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the app : i have an old 500D with Magic Lantern, and the app works perfectly with it !

I use an android phone "as a remote" with a tablet connected to the camera and with the Wifi Passthrough Mode (Wonderful functionaly !)

But, is there a way to connect any "small" remote to take photos ? The phone i use is not "the perfect remote" (big, and i want a simple "one button remote i can hide)" and in Live View mode, my radio remote (connected directly to the camera with an E3 mini jack connector) doesn't seem to be working.

If i disable the live view : remote is working perfectly

Does someone has that kind of setup and has a solution ?

Many thanks

Even if the Classic Canon DSLR might not have an exciting future of new releases I think the existing userbase very much want's to use a good and reliable App on current Smartphones with Android 11, would be huge to see this work on 2021 phones.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eric JT:
Any suggestions to an issue I am having with my Canon 5D Mark IV and DSLR Controller......when using the combination for macro shots with a Sigma 105mm DG Macro lens, DSLR Controller works but when I look at the focus stack, the shots between A & B only get half the distance taken.

In other words, when taking shots of a tape measure, I set up to take from the 1 inch mark to the 2 inch mark.....but the stack shots only focus the 1 through 1 1/2 inch. When I swap out the 5D for my Canon 6D, with the same setup in DSLR Controller, the resulting shots have the A & B focus points correctly.....the 1 inch to 2 inch marks on the tape measure.

I am puzzled to say the least.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] digitalhans:
Hello forum,

I use the "DSLR Controller V1,06" app to remotely control my Canon EOS 60, which

runs smoothly on my Samsung A52 (Android 11) as well as on the Lenovo tablet (Android 5).

I usually connect using a USB cable. This also works wirelessly with the TP-Link 3040 portable router

(here v2; with the required modified OpenWRT firmware). At least with the A52. The tablet can

connect to the router, I can also access its configuration page - i think, this

is a good sign. But the app cannot connect to the camera (either "a camera was found,

Connection cannot be established" or "nothing found" or something like that ...)

Since it works with a cable and there is also a wireless connection to the 3040, I hope that someone

has a good idea?

Many greetings, Hans
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eric JT:
Digitlhans, the only thing that comes to mind is ensure you are using a host USB cable that can communicate between the DSLR and the device running DSLR Controller.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Thierry Hoornaert:
Hi Forum,

I just installed DSLR Controller v1.06 (August 18, 2017), despite the fact nor my EOS 90D camera, nor my Samsung Galaxy 20FE smartphone are mentioned in the compatibility list.

I use a USB-micro to USB-C cable. At first, most functions seem to work.

I noticed however that Cx, M and AV modes do not always give the expected shutter speed and/or aperture. Sometimes they are not even displayed at all. I expect the modes to start at the camera current settings. Instead AV most of the time is at f22, the minimum aperture, which is never useful. If I change it, it comes back at f22 after a little while.

The "Image review" gives "No files found", or at best a set of every time the same 5 older pictures. I can't scroll to other, not even the latest photo's.

When in use, none of the camera buttons and wheels do work. Is that normal? Even with the connected display, I would expect being able to use the camera buttons.

Having an eye distrophy, I need a bigger display, where I can access full functionality and menus, while appreciating the touch screen options.

Are these behaviors known to others?

Do you have tips for me?

If you've already purchased the app you could get it on a mirror site? I've installed it on my newer devices from apk.

Has anyone found a way to use a wifi development board of some kind for wireless connection? None of the routers are available anymore, and the wifi controller app doesn't work on phones/tv sticks above android 5 or 6 it seems. A wifi development board may work if coded correctly?

The only hope would be that @Chainfire read these messages, but he didn’t reply my private message either.

@Chainfire if you cannot spend more time or effort on this application (which can be totally understandable), could you consider open source it? People would be happy to help and it could still be used by a lot of people.

Right now it is unfortunately nothing more than a digital paperweight…

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I have to return the 450D now, but I did fix a lot of things, that should be very noticable on 40D, 400D, 450D, 1000D, 1Ds Mark III.

There are a few more bugs to fix, but these also happen on my other devices, so I hope the fix on those models works for these models as well, as I can no longer test after I return this camera.

A few things with the 450D that I don't know if also apply to the other models listed above:

- LiveView is not available in all modes; The auto modes are not supported, only the manual modes (A-Dep, M, Av, Tv, P)

- There is no remote shutter release; This means auto-focus cannot be initiated remotely (by the app), so you need to focus on the cam or use remote-manual-focus (the arrow buttons). You can still take pictures, but only in single shot mode - multiple shots in one go are not supported. Bulb shooting is however supported

- Exposure Bracket is not supported remotely; This should eventually not be a problem when I introduce exposure bracketing controlled completely programmatically by the app, but this will be a while

Should the other models in this family of EOS cameras support these features, they will be auto-detected and used.

I just hope the other stuff I'm going to fix and implement doesn't break this support ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaoropez:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
v0.66 has been released!

Just released v0.66 on Market. Many issues have been fixed, things changed, minor things added.

If all is well, the following devices should now be somewhat usable:

- 1D mk III

- 1Ds mk III

- 40D

- 400D

- 450D

- 1000D

They do not have the full functionality of the newer models. Of course, I have only tested this with the 450D specifically, but I think these are the models that the changes apply to.

If there are any new issues please let me know ASAP. I probably have time to put out one more update before I go on vacation to China for a few weeks, but no guarantees.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arrtoodeetoo:
I can confirm that the XTi 400D does not work, at least with a 3.2 XOOM.

In fact, when I plug in my OTG cable, it opens the app, but then it shuts down (doesn't even give a FC warning) and then immediately pops up the app picker again like three times in a row.

Strange.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CamTheSnapper:
Thanks for your update Chainfire. I've got 5DMkII, 1DsMkIII and 1DMkIII - just got to wait for my on-the-go cable. Happy to do any testing, reviews, etc you require..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Could be it has something to do with the liveview... My sister's 400D did sort-of work when I played with it Monday... but unfortunately I won't have access to it again before I return from my vacation. How tech-savvy are you with Android ? I can figure out the error maybe from logcat, but it is very difficult to get a proper logcat with DSLR Controller. It will require a rooted device, a wireless ADB solution, command prompt knowledge, and some effort. If you know very little about these things, I don't think you're going to manage it, to be honest. There are on-device logcat viewers and dumpers, but these have a big chance of not working correctly with DSLR Controller due to the USB component in various devices outputting such a large amount of debug info, the buffers will have wrapped before you catch the error.

Great. Specifically the 1Ds-III and 1D-III I would like to see what does or doesn't work. Possibly nothing, lol.

Let's hope it wasn't something generic I messed up after I fixed it all for the 450D...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm rooted and I know enough adb to flash stuff and push files, but I know nothing about log cats and all that. How come this app doesn't have the option to report a force close/error back to you? Most apps I've ran have the dialog when the app FCs and even lets you view the report in the dialog before sending it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'm not sure why you do not get that dialog. I have never even seen it. But I know some people get it, because I do get crashed reported in my Market console.

If you know enough about adb to push files and you are rooted, then the procedure isn't as hard as it looks.

You need to get a (free) app from Market, I believe it is called adbWireless. It allows you to connect to adb over Wi-Fi instead of USB (which will be taken by the camera).

During the following procedure it would be wise to try and keep your Android device awake (i.e. screen on).

- Get on the same Wi-Fi network with both the phone and the computer

- Start the adbWireless app and put it in wirless mode

- On your PC disconnect any other android devices, and: "adb connect ipaddress:port". That will be shown by the adbWireless app.

- On your PC: "adb logcat". You should see a boatload of output now. If not, redo from start. If you do, you're ready to go on.

- On your PC: Press CTRL+C to exit logcat

- On your PC: "adb logcat > logcat.txt"

- Count to 50

- On your device: connect camera, start DSLR controller, wait for crash

- Count to 50

- On your PC: CTRL+C to exit logcat

- There should now be a rather big logcat.txt file on your PC in the folder you started adb from. ZIP it up (it compresses a great deal), then email it to me.

It may take you a few minutes to do the first time you do it ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaoropez:
lookin good!

Just tested the newest release, everything is working fine, capture is working, frame rate is still good, and now all the buttons display the appropriate mene(to select iso, shutter, etc.)

afew things to note/happened:

-on one occassion, the image that displayed on the screen of my Gtab10.1 was not currently what was being seen throught he lens, seems like it cached the previous shot, and was showing me a still of that

-there is no way to know what the shutter speed is for the current exposure, for example, in a low light environment, setting my fstop to 16, iso of 200, I had no idea how long the exposure would be. I only found out after pressing the shutter release, that it would be 30 seconds. It is very important that this information be displayed

-tapping on the screen does not refocus the subject, i believe you mentioned that this would not work on this model.

-when using the x5 x10 in the zoom in mode, it only zooms in at the center, it would be great if arrows came up that let you pan around the zoomed area, like when you are using live preview.

On a side note, which is the method you reccoment to start the app? have the camera on, then pluin usb adapter, or have usbadapter in, then turn on the camera?

I noticed that evertime i turn on the camera, a message comes up, but it closes to fast for me to read it. I usually just turn of the camera when I am done using the app, then app closes it self.

Also, does a preview of the picture taken appear on the screen for any other canon models, or even the ability to view the images currently on the cameras memory? Currently, after a shot is taken, it only displays the file name, but no preview.

Thank you, keep up the good work! hope i dont have to buy a new camera, but i will if all issues mentioned are working/adressed for other camera models. I am looking at either the t3 or t3i
