Desperately need your help

Hi there

Apologies if this is in the wrong place or format but i need your help. I saw your excellent application dslr controller and it looks perfect for my needs. On the back of that i bought a cheap tablet acer iconia b1 and the micro mini lead from lindy both of which turned up earlier today. I downloaded the remote release app, connected the tablet to my canon 550d dslr and launched the app only to get a message saying that the android device is not compatible with androids usb host api. I have spent the last few hours googling firmware updates and the error message but am going around in circles. Have i wasted £70 on the lead and ended up with a non compatible device. I bought the acer tab as i saw that the iconias were shown on the compatible list, although at closer inspection they do appear to be the a series not my b1.

Can you offer any help?

Many thanks

Colin

5d Mark III to TP-LINK TL-MR3040 not connecting to Nook HD+

Thank you for a great app!

I got this to work once, out of MANY tries. The only time I got this to work, I was typing up my situation and problems, and tried it again so I can copy the error message, and was shocked to see it working (and perfectly, full functionality, I was riveted). I promptly deleted the post because I thought it would just recognize my camera and finally work, but have yet been able to replicate what I did to get it to work.

I have tried upwards of 10 different USB cables (I work in a post house, have hundreds)

I have tried every variation of turning off/on my camera, turning off/on the router, disconnecting my wifi to the dslrcontrolller/connecting, bluetooth enabled/disabled, restarting the tablet off, the router, the camera, in every variation of order (mostly the one highlighted in the youtube tutorial) dozens and dozens of times. Deleting the app, re downloading it.

I am hitting a wall on different variations to get this thing to work. I have messed around with menu settings in my cam and just can't find what can get this thing to work. Every time I try, the app sits and gives me the pop up saying not connected.

I have tried most of anything to get this to work, and I am in the same boat, with the same pop up - No wifi device detected.

I have the dslr controller on my Nook HD+ (which for some reason it has downloaded 2 apps every time I have downloaded and installed it, only app to do that, have tried others since) and have flashed the TP-LINK TL-MR3040 (I have the version 2) with the appropriate downloaded zip from the dslrcontroller website, and have it connected to my 5d Mark III.

Any suggestions, any advice? Would be very grateful, thank you! Also looks like Doctor is in the same boat.

Also thanks again to this amazing app, when it was working, it is exactly what I am looking for, I am hopeful in getting this fully functional.

Hello,

i don't know if it's done on purpose or a bug of some kind but each time i connect the router to my 5DMKIII, DSLRController is switching my recording folder from CF to SD card which is very annoying, i just use the SD for loading Magic Lantern.

Is there some setup to tell the apps not to switch the destination folder ?

Also, i found it frustrating to wait for the image to load on the android device each time you take a shot, is it possible to just see the result on the camera and on demand on the android device ?

Btw, i've done my very first shooting with clients with the T-Link router and your apps, peoples are very impressed by it.

Congratulations.

LG G Tablet 8.3 compatible?

Does anyone know DSLR Controller compatible with LG G Tablet 8.3 ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Ok so there's a few things: if a connection fails, it sometimes happens that DSLR Controller gets stuck, and reconnection will not work.

That being said, try the following:

- Turn on 5DmkIII

- Turn on MR3040

- Connect them with a USB cable

- Wait until 3 out of 4 of the LEDs on the MR3040 are lit up <--- important

- Connect Android device to DSLR Controller network

- Start DSLR Controller

Try the "USB Host Diagnostics" app. USB Host Controller app is something completely different for a specific firmware for a specific device, completely unrelated to DSLR Controller and your table (most likely).

Cheap no-name tablets usually don't work too great with DSLR Controller, though.

I'm not sure why it would switch cards. Someone else has reported this a while ago, but I have not been able to reproduce that specific issue with my own 5DmkIII (ML-less).

Under options (cogwheel icon, bottom right) you set an image review time just like on the camera: disable, a specific time, or hold. In your case, you would set it to disabled. The app does however usually prevent the image review screen on the camera itself to show up, so if you want to view the image you just shot on the camera you need to press the play button (on the camera).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sice:
Thank you so much for responding and helping me out.

I'm pretty sure I did this in this order before, specifically the Wait for the 3 out of 4 Led's on the MR3040 to be lit up. Tried it and still nothing. here is a picture imgur[dot]com/7MMvZog.jpg

So even after this, there is no connection, tried several times, switching networks, turning off wifi etc.

I feel like this sounds like my predicament. Is there anyway to reset it after getting stuck?

But then again, I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the program to no avail.

Would it be bad to press the reset button on the router (maybe fixing something that turning off and on won't do)? Is there some setting I am overlooking? What mode has proved to be the best on the router/cam? Do you typically connect from the tablet to the dslrcontroller network from having your wifi turned off, or switching from a different network?

I also can tell that the router connection to the cam is healthy because if I leave this plugged in, and turn off the router, the shutter closes and asks me to press start stop to see video again.

Sorry for all the questions. I have tried so many variations that I just can't seem to find the perfect mixture to recreate this thing to work. Again thank you so much for your help! I have been trying different things for a couple hours here and haven't gotten anywhere.

I should also add that the middle light starts blinking after my tablet connects to it, which I know is normal in a router, but not sure if it should be this way with the flashed one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Just turning off/on the MR3040, the camera, and rebooting your device should clear any issue like this. It's not something that keeps being the case, but if you try different ways of connecting in quick succession, you might actually have hit a working combo that didn't work because it was stuck. Wait at least 30 seconds between each attempt to connect, and try each configuration at least twice.

As you stated, you have tried many USB cables so that's unlikely to be the issue.

I'm not actually sure what the reset button does with the custom firmware. Doesn't hurt to try, I would guess. Either mode on the router should work. Cam should be in M/Av/Tv/P mode (as I see from your picture this is already the case).

I understand, this is very frustrating. These sort of problems are extremely difficult to diagnose as well.

From what you're saying it looks to me like the connection camera<->router should be fine.

Can you log into the MR3040's network, and visit the admin page from the tablet?

http://192.168.1.1/

username admin

password dslrcontroller

Can you try re-flashing the latest firmware from the website ?

Have you tried a different firmware on your tablet, just to make sure that isn't the issue ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sice:
Yup I connect fine to the admin page on my tablet and my computer. Is there something I can change or check in here? I can also see the connection to the nook which is a good sign.

Yup done, still no difference.

I have not, and would be willing to, to try and get this working. Just a little wary to do this since the other firmwares were ****, but I would try, I am running 2.2.0 the latest.

I'm going to try a factory reset on my tablet see if that helps.

Thanks again for all your help!

Did nothing, I have the three lights on my router, camera on, and connect to my tablet and no connection, same old no wifi device was found. Also tried all the variations all over again, still nothing. Thanks again Chainfire for your responses.

Creating an intial wifi connection

Hey everyone. New here.

I'm new to this whole ad-hocing thing.

I just bought the TP-Link to connect with my Canon 60D, to create a wireless connection to my Tablet.

I don't really understand how to create the initial connection. I have set it up, and flashed the firmware by connecting it to my mac via Firewire.

But after that's done and I disconnect the cable, it has no connection anymore. How do I tell the Link to join a certain network.

Also, I guess the whole "wireless" thing has thrown me off. If I have to connect the Link to a wifi signal, doesn't that defeat the purpose of calling it wireless? If I'm on location shooting an exterior of a home, or anywhere else that has no wifi, this whole system will not work, correct?

I guess I don't understand the process. Any help?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sice:
Which product are you using, is it the TP-LINK TL-MR3040? Because this product does not have a firewire port, only usb and an ethernet.

The product itself is a wifi router, which means, if you connect your cam to it via USB itself (battery powered) broadcasts a (internetless) wifi signal that your tablet can connect to (and be controlled from). So you don't connect the TP Link to a wifi signal, it IS the wifi signal, and since it is battery powered you are wireless.

So regardless of where you are you can use it; in a field, on location anywhere, because the tp link acts as the wifi router with a wifi connection to your tablet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] michaeljmellon:
Wow. I just assumed it wouldn't have a connection after that. Just tried it... Should've done so before asking a stupid question.

This is awesome! Thanks for your help.

I do have one concern... After taking a capture, it takes (According to the timer) about 7 seconds before it shows me the photo. And that process of switching to the "gallery" and decoding the image takes a LONG time. Any way to speed this process up?

Thanks again!

Unavailable functions using Asus Transformer Infinity Pad with Canon 70D

I have been a user and fan of DSLR Controller since it first came out. I have been using it wired with my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Canon Rebel T2i camera with no problems. I recently purchased a Canon 70D and since it has the wireless function I decided to use my ASUS Transformer Infinity tablet with it using a wireless connection. I have configured the 70D camera to connect Ad Hoc. I am able to make a good connection with my tablet and DSLR Controller functions as expected until at some point all of the functions on the left of the screen become inactive. I cannot change the focus mode, shutter speed, ISO, etc. I can use the shutter button to snap a photo, but cannot change the functions of my camera. If I go into "Settings" and back out, these functions become available once more. Once I focus, they become unavailable.

Also, using the configuration above, the multiple shot feature does not work right. Whether I choose the option to hold the shutter button or tap it twice, I cannot hold the button and take continuous shots.With both options it will keep firing after I release and will not stop until I press the shutter button again.

If anyone can help with these issues I would be grateful. Thanks to Chainfire for this product which has no peer in the Android world!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You wouldn't happen to be IT-savvy and know how to operate a network monitor like wireshark would you? If so, you could connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network, and see what communication happens between the Android and the camera.

Simply tapping the screen (canceling focus) does not resolve the issue? It looks like the app thinks the camera is focussed.

Why are you using Ad Hoc instead of infrastructure mode? Does the same issue occur when using USB? Are you using Smartphone or EOS Utility mode?

I'd need to try to reproduce this, but I've lent out the 70D.

This problem does not occur when you switch to USB for communication?

Latency

Does anyone else experience a drastic amount of latency after a capture? from after the capture button is pressed to the time it decodes the image for viewing, I'm waiting roughly 15 seconds...

Is it my tablet? Or is this normal?

I have never used wireshark before but I have a knack for picking up applications quickly (also have a ton of friends in IT that can help). What would I be looking for exactly?

Also, when I sign in to the admin page, is there any setting I can change in there that may help? As always, thanks!

Samsung Tab 2 10.1 with 5D MarkII

I can't get the DSLR controller to work. I've tried absolutely everything on my tab as well as on my Camera.

The app just doesn't recognize my cam.

I'm using a USB adapter kit, an USB 2.0 cable and I even rooted my tablet.

Has anybody got any idea what I can do to fix this? I've bought the samsung galaxy tab 2 a year ago with the only goal to use it for this app :crying:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Re: Wireshark: if you connect your pc/laptop, your Android device, and the router to the same network, wireshark should be able to see all the traffic between the three, which should be very little. When you start DSLR Controller, several packets should be going from its IP (which you can find in Wi-Fi settings) address to that of the router (192.168.1.1) and back.

If there are no packets at all, or just going in one direction, or indeed going in both directions, would be interesting to see. Note that with Wireshark you can actually save the log that you have recorded, and I can open it here to take a look myself.

Re: admin page: not really, it should come with working defaults

Re: I have not heard anything about the Nook HD+ that I remember, to be honest. It need not necessarily be an issue with the HD+, maybe it's an bug in the app. You never know.

Usb Host Diagnostic

Hi,

I already done the ceck with the Usb Host Diagnostic and the message said:

Hello Gents! I purchased this app to aide in filming. I wanted to use my many android devices as a monitor. But the playback is not smooth, and is not real time, like the built in camera viewfinder. Is there any way to improve the performance. Because as is, it wont work for filming - too choppy and laggy to film action and motion.

It looks like a wonderful app for still photography (which may be why it was designed). But if we could find a way to imrove it's responsiveness that would be awesome. The devices I'm using are a Galaxy S4, Note 3, and perhaps a Note. 8.0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Again, you are using the wrong app. You are using "USB Host Controller", you need "USB Host Diagnostics".

Lot of factors come into play here.

If you're using Wi-Fi, try using USB.

If you're talking about playback of recorded video, make sure MX Player is set to H/W(+) mode. Play with the settings until you find what works best on your device.

If you're talking about liveview, please note that the camera model matters a lot. The S4 and Note3 are both fast enough to get 24-30 fps *if* you have the right camera *and* are using USB.

Also note that the frame limiter may be set to 15fps in DSLR Controller settings (bottom-right, cogwheel icon, scroll down a bunch). It should automatically set it to 30fps if it detects the device and camera are fast enough, but that is not an exact science, so check it anyway.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] HikingMoose:
Thank you for the quick reply. I have the Canon 7D, and I am using a usb/OTG cable. I have set the framerate to 24FPS because that is what I was shooting at. And that did improve it. But it's still a little laggy compared to the camera viewfinder in liveview. I will mess with some more settings, and hopefully can figure it out. It is a great app, and will make filming much easier for me, as long as I can get it to see real-time what the camera is seeing.

Thanks again,

nexus 4 and mr3040?

Can you confirm that this does not work with nexus 4 whilst Wirelessly connected via tp link MR3040? Seems to be conflicting info with posters stating they use DSLR controller in this way. Ta.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It'll work with the Nexus4 using the TP-Link, just not using USB.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knoxploration:
Also note that if you're recording in promiscuous mode, all traffic on the network will be recorded (unless you have a switch, in which case all traffic that's not behind the switch will be recorded.) And regardless, all network traffic from all apps on the machine doing the recording will be recorded, even if you have no network to speak of -- just one machine and an Ethernet-connected DSL or cable modem.

And whatever is recorded can be decoded -- potentially even secure https sessions, with enough processor time or knowledge of the encryption key. That means passwords and other personal information can be accessed, so sharing Wireshark logs online is a bad idea unless you know that the log isn't capturing anything you wouldn't want shared.

Better is to look at the log yourself, learn how to filter and decode with Wireshark to get what you're after, and then share only the information relevant to the problem you're having. It's not *that* complex a program, and it's well documented.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
While what your saying isn't generally untrue, and it's smarter to email the logs than post them online, the above doesn't really apply in this case. He'd be monitoring a Wi-Fi connection between his PC, an Android device, and a modded router, where no internet connection is present, and the three do not share any significant services aside from DSLR Controller. As such, there may be connection attempts for SSL sockets to send private data, but those will not succeed, as the other end cannot be reached. There should in fact be relatively few packets going back and forth (the PC used to monitor will likely send the most) at all.

Autobracketing on 3D with HTC One?

Has anyone successfully tested the autobracketing feature on a 30D? I have an HTC One.

With my camera set to manual mode and the app autobracketing set to "shutter", i can get the app to fire off the given number of exposures. But each one is at the same setting - it isn't increasing/decreasing the shutter for any of the images.

Any tips?

Canon 600D (T3i) and Nexus 7 (2012) mostly not working

It's working fine on my Canon 5D Mk. II (and much appreciated) but not with my Canon 600D (T3i). I'm using a Nexus 7 (2012) running KitKat and everything else is fully up-to-date.

Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't, with the ‘no ‘compatible device found’ message.* In those situations pressing the shutter doesn't help.* I'm using the exact same setup as with my 5D and the same cables.* Both my 5D and my 600D had 'Magic Lantern' v2.3 installed and working.* My 5D works fine, as I said, but doesn't show the ML 2.3 info on the DSLR Controller screen.* I’m guessing that’s normal behaviour for DSLR Controller.

I've tried bypassing the ML 2.3 install during startup on the 600D, but DSLR Controller still cannot find the camera.* But sometimes when DSLR Controller works, I had the 600D in ML mode. So ML 2.3 may not be an issue.

Just in case ML 2.3 was the issue, I used a brand new 32GB card without ML2.3 installed and had the same inconsistent issues. Sometimes it would ‘find’ the 600D and run DSLR Controller (rebooting the Nexus seemed to help) but mostly it would not. Then after much trying of various options I found a way that seems to work every time. If I start the 600d camera without the OTG cable connected to my Nexus 7, and then plug the OTG cable into the Nexus 7 it starts up DSLR Controller every time I’ve tried it so far.

Is this a known issue with the Canon 600D/Nexus 7 (2012) combo? Am I missing something in how I’m doing things?

Thanks,
