Yes the TP-Link still connects to the Internet although strangely the Internet light on the unit does not illuminate. Its definitely working though as I loaded webpages from sites I have never visited before to test it. And yes it was definitely the DSLRConnector network connection that I connected to and not my home connection as normal.

Is there anyway of getting a version of the software previous to 99.4, I only bought the latest one

Ahhhhh just noticed something the version is showing as 96.0 need to work out how to get the update on my Galaxy Tab not done this before

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Managed to get the update downloaded and installed to 99.4

Checked both cameras first with a direct USB connection to the Tablet -- both worked fine

Checked the Canon 1100d and that works fine with the TP-Link

However the Canon 5dMk3 still refuses to be found using the TP-LInk - same error message as previously

*********LATEST UPDATE

In view of original error pre TP Link I disabled the back button focussing on the Mk3 and reverted to shutter button only. This time the TP-Link worked !!

Undaunted I then reverted to Backbutton only focussing, loaded up DSLR and again it worked with the TP-Link - doesnt make sense

Anyways going to give both cameras a good test over the next few days and will report back further

Thanks everyone

What I do is assign one of the Custom Modes to the the same as my typical manual mode with the exception focus, that way when I use DSLR Controller I just flip the dial.

DSLR Controller over Wifi does not work on 6d

I got my brand new 6d and tried DSLR Controller. The ordinary USB cable way worked flawlessly like I was used to on the 7d which I have sold. Then I enabled wifi on my 6d and followed the instructions on http://www.dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi.php .

So I connected my Canon to my home network and my Note 2 was already connected to it. Then the Canon asks 'start the smartphone app' and then I started DSLR controller. But it could not find it 'no devices found'. Then I made a hotspot of the Canon itself and connected the Note 2 to that. No problem. But opening DSLR Controller issued the same error. I have tried both PC and Smartphone mode.

I use DLSR C v0.99.4.

The EOS utility works fine with Wifi (PC mode).

What am I doing wrong ?

EDIT: I got same issue with EOS Remote from Canon and when I enabled internet access for DSLR controller (and EOS Remote) (LAN access was already enabled) in AFWall+ (Android firewall app) for both apps they worked ! Strange, when I use the EOS 6 as Wifi hotspot it does not have internet access at all, but with 'internet access' disabled it does not work.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mcshaffd:
Problem here, too.

I am having a similar problem to airlion, but with slightly different equipment:

- Vivitar 7” Camelio with Android 4.1.1 and the latest ASUS system updates installed

- DSLR-Contoller 0.99.4

- EOS 7D running the recent Canon firmware and all C-Fn's set according your advice

-TP-LINK TL-MR3040 (vers. 2.2) flashed with firmware file : openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin (downloaded on dslrcontroller.com on 2 Jan 2014) (flashed firmware 2x)

DSLRController works fine tethered directly to the camera, but when attached via the same cables to the MR3040 it will not connect with the error message that it could not find a compatible camera on either Wi-Fi or USB. Monitoring the MR3040 with another computer verifies that the tablet is connecting to the MR3040.

So, you can say that DSLRController works with the vivitar, which is great, because it's a cheap tablet, but it would be very nice for my needs if I could get the MR3040 wireless connection going. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.

Hi and thanks for DSLRController the best thing since sliced bread.

I was having problems connecting my 7D to my Nexus7 with TL-MR 3040. and v 99.4 beta

It would connect then switch off after a few seconds. it still worked with the cables in tethered mode.

I tried 3 cables eventually after reloading several times and checking custom functions I tried a 4th and bingo up and running.

After metering the cables I found the 3 cables had no continuity on the shield and the 4th one did have continuity.

All 4 cables work in the tethered mode

So make sure you have a decent cable

Hope this helps someone along the way

dslrcontroller - TL-Mr3040 - canon600d - Nexus 7 - Galaxy Note 2

Hi Chainfire and DSLRController Users

I have just purchased a TP Link TL-MR3040 for use as a WIFI Module for linking my Canon600D to my Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and just wanted to let you all know how simple it was to get it all working, following the instructions at dslrcontroller.com from the point of unboxing to having the camera up and working probably took no more than 4 to 5 mins and most of this time was reading the instructions and making a coffee whilst the firmware update downloaded and got flashed to the TL-MR3040. very simple to do and so far works flawlessly.

Thanks to Chainfire for DSLRController and who ever wrote the firmware for the TL-MR3040 all your effort and work is much appreciated.

question re feature request

Chainfire just got the TL mr3040, and within 5mins got it all up and working with DSLR Controller, must say it really pissed of a friend that spent £269 on Camranger too see it all up and running for less than £50 ;)

Now I know piratebox can also be installed on the TP Link MR3040 for file sharing and and mounting usb flash drive via the usb connector, i was wondering if you had thought about adding the ability to mount a USB drive on the router like piratebox allows so that the user can connect camera and small USB flash drive via a cable based USB hub. Then have for example DSLR controller running on a phone as the camera remote as per current setup. Jpg can then be saved to the USB drive so a tablet also connected to the WiFi network can run DSLR gallery to be used as a follow shot monitor. Also this would allow an assistant to aid the main photographer or to allow a client or model to see the shots as they are being taken. Hope that all makes sense?

Hi,

I have a question, that I am shure has been discussed allready, but I cant find anything on that specific question.

I am trying to connect my Canon 5D Mrk II via my Nexus 7 (dslr controller) by wifi pass threw to my PC (Eos Utility).

How does that work?

As I understood this is possible since the las update?!

When I activate pass threw at my Nexus 7 the Eos Utility has still disabled the Wtf utility.

How can I get this setting to work?

I want to get the pictures transfered to my PC wia WIfi so I can directly review them at a big screen after shooting.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks!

Just wanted to report that I just installed this app on my Galaxy S3. I purchased the OEM (Samsung) usb adapter and hooked it to my T2i and it worked perfectly. I was literally a couple days away from dropping $300 + shipping on the Promote Controller for doing extended bracketing for HDR photos. DSLR controller is AWESOME..I'm going to install it on my Tab 3 now!

I do Real Estate photography. Not only will this speed up my bracketing, but now my clients can also see a nice preview of the image on a tablet! Thanks Chainfire for a great app!

TP-Link no show

Hi,

I'm running Nexus 7 v2, Android 4.4.2, Canons 100D, 7D and 5D3. I got the newest firmware for the TP-Link 3040 V 1.0 and installed it according to instructions using the appropriate bin-file. Connected to the DLSRController WLAN. Internet connection is fine, but the management interface on 192.168.1.1 is not reachable now neither on the Nexus nor on the DLSRController WLAN-connected PC (I tried several times). Which worries me, because now updates of the firmware will be hard if not impossible.

Apart from that I get no wireless connection through DLSR Controller to either of my cams. The cable I used for UBS connection from Nexus to cams worked fine, but not wirelessly. (btw. the Canon 100D can be controlled as good as the other ones).

So I got the following questions:

- Is there a way to re-install the old TP-Link firmware (in order to get an access point for firmware upgrades)?

- Is it required to use an OTG cable from cam to 3040?

- Which USB-port on the router must be used? The rear UBS A or the micro B on the side? I used the rear one so far.

DSLR Controller via UBS alone is really awesome, but wirelessly would be simply incredible. So keep on coding!!!

best regards, Werner

Fantastic app

Just to say thanks for developing such a great app.

Works perfectly with 5d mk2 chained to the tplink 3040 with sammy S3. I have also used it with the canon WFT-4 wifi grip, but as that is only transferring at g speed, find the 3040 much faster and more stable.

I have used an app called trigger, so that when the router is switched on, the S3 connects, and then automatically starts DSLRController.

HDR bracketing displays "Waiting for files to be saved" and just stays there

Shooting with WiFi works well for single images, but in HDR bracketing mode it shoots the first shot of the series and then displays the message: "Waiting for files to be saved" and just stays there.

Canon T5i (700D) set on Manual, using the TP-Link wifi (works OK for single shots).

It's connected to a Lenovo Ideatab A2107A tablet that does not have USB host mode, but does connect to the camera via wifi. Maybe it's mostly connected but some things won't work?

Using trigger with dslr controller

Hi I would be interested in knowing how you set up Trigger to work as you have mentioned. I have had a look but cant see how you can get it to do an action when router us switched on.

Do you use another app to switch your network when ddlr controller becomes available?

dslr Controller android 4.3 and s3

I ran into a problem using the dslr controller with android 4.3 on s3 with canon 40D connected with tl-mr3040.

All works fine in app until you review images. As soon as you try to take another image the app hangs on capture.

I have found a work around which I hope may adress where the problem may be for software development.

THE WORK AROUND

1. Start connection in sequence as recommended

2. review images

3.Go back to main screen and press the M (or ehichevrr setting you have the camera set to) twice.

4. That's it. All should be working fine now. You can take and review images as normal.

I can replicate problem and solution every time.

I hope this helps others.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mwhiteston:
In 2 ways. If already connected to another wifi, I have stuck an nfc tag on the modem so when I tap my phone against it it swaps wifi to the 3040. When trigger detects that I am now connected, it opens the app DSLRcontroller.

If I am not already connected to a wifi and turn on the 3040 then trigger works automatically.

I am also playing around with another macro app called macro DROID which should be able to swap the wifi automatically.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fotorex:
Have you already downloaded and installed the new firmware for your TP-Link? This solved the problem.:good:

Regards,

Frank
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] richardginn:
That solution works!

Yes! The new firmware solved the problem, and without your hash sum info I would have thought I already had the newest version based on filename. The setup works well: the tablet runs the camera and the bracketing works perfectly.

Using the DSLR Gallery fails, but that's OK because the on-camera review is fast. Gallery is a topic for another discussion that may already be going on.

Thank you again! :D

a quick question hope someone can help

Hi just a quick question that I hope someone can answer.

I have searched the thread and it appears that the destination/path dslrcontroller uses when saving images to the local device is hard coded and can not be set manually I think this is correct. The reason I ask is I currently have both my Samsung note 2 and nexus 7 connected to tp-link mr3040. The phone is used to control my Canon 600d. And saves a copy of the jpg files to its internal storage, I then have the Nexus 7 connected over the network to the phone and the folder DSLR controller uses on the phone mounted as a share on the nexus 7.

Originally I wanted to then point DSLR gallery on the Nexus 7 to use this folder so the nexus 7 could be used to display the last shot taken, obviously this is not possible so this leads to my question.

Has anyone got a good recommendation for a good basic image viewer that has the feature to watch a folder and to display the most recent image found and also if possible allow the user to set the preference of how often it rescans to folder looking for a newer image? Hope that all makes sense.

Thanks in advance

I am curious if this app will run with the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, which was just announced. I am asking because I don't know if there will be a compatibility issue with the new Android 4.4 KitKat OS? I just posted an article about this new tablet on my blog here, but I did not mention for sure if DSLR Controller would work with it. If you can confirm that it will then I will edit my blog post to state that DSLR Controller will run on it:

Great, thanks. Then it should work with the new Samsung Galaxy Pro 8.4" tablet which will be running KitKat too. Samsung has customized KitKat on that tablet, but I don't think that should effect app usability. Cheers. With such a high screen resolution it should be an excellent tab for shooting tethered using DSLR Controller.

Any chance of publishing whats changed in the firmware from the basic openWRT 3040, so that someone else can try modifying the MR3020 and/or WR703N openWRT firmware?

As it happens I also own both these routers. using them with an external battery.

In any case if the answer is "NO" I've just ordered an extra mr3040 from Amazon.

A Couple of quick questions (Sorry - too impatient to scan thru 300 off pages to see answers - I'll post them to Twitter for Chainfire I promise)

1. Does the DSLR controller app work with Canon 70D and 6D (when they are on Wifi Infrastructure mode i.e, directly without any existing Wireless network) without using USB and TPlink wireless Router.

2. Does the DSLR controller app work fine in situation where you are on intervalometer and/or taking long exposure (more than 30 mins) and a call comes in between! What happens to the app/timers or functionality of the DSLR app.

I have Nexus 5.

Any pointers?

Hi,

I just purchased the app and tried using for the first time.

I was getting intermittent connections with my Canon 7D. I have the OTG cable and a small USB that came with the card reader. I'm going to dig out the USB that came with the camera to try that also.

The 2 issues I'm hoping you may have answers to are:

1) Is it worth buying the Lindy cable just to be sure? It seems like it drops out randomly and if the camera moves

2) I can't preview the shots at all after viewing filming them. The previewer shows 0.00 to 0.00 and nothing to play. Is this a bug? I purchased today so have the latest version.

Thanks

7D and TPLink TL-MR3040 works fully with Samsung S4 i9505 and Chinese tablet PiPO M8 Pro 3G.

Features I am waiting for (just by the way, may be the respectful Developer will have a chance) :fingers-crossed:

- horizon level window (horizon meter) - it is good option for interior photos.

Hi all,

Here is another happy user of dslr controller (with a canon 5D III). I have two questions. If I want to do focus bracketing (e.g. bracket to A), is it then correct that the camera then automatically puts in the 'correct' numbers (step size, number of steps)? If I want to change the step size (e.g. from one medium step to 4 small steps), the number of steps in the step number box does not change and I think it should change to keep the same stack distance. How do I "manually" overwrite the step size and have the software automatically update the corresponding number of steps to its correct value?

Second: how do I use mirror lockup with focus bracketing to A (or B)?

Thanx!

Moving router breaks connection with the camera

I am having strange issues with my TP Link router when connected to Canon 5d II. When router is connected to camera everything works fine until I start moving the router. Then the connection breaks and after I try to connect to camera via DSLR Controller after this happens then I get Err 70 on camera. Sometimes after the connection gets lost then I am able to control the camera even though the router is still conected to camera via USB cable. This doesn't happen when router is fixed and I move camera around.

I tried different cables and nothing helps. I also tried 2 different firmwares, currently the firmware that's installed is the one I found on dslrcontroller official web page (v2.x)

When camera is connected to app directly via USB cable it works perfect.

Any ideas what could be the problem?

EDIT: I have also tried to plug router directly to power supply but it doesn't help

Dark screen on 5D3 | Mirror locking | Touch & shoot

Hi to all,

I'm very happy with this app and it proves to be quite stable on my nexus as well via USB as via wifi.

But just one remark about a thing that occured to me yesterday: I started DSLRController via TPLink in order to connenct to my 5D3. Connection was established easily, but all I saw was a black screen surrounded by the normal control buttons. Never had that before. I double checked with my 7D: everything was fine. After a while I found out that in the menu of the 5D3 under Shoot 4: "live view options" there is the option Live view recording Active or Disabled (translation from German, don't know the exact wording in English). If set to Disabled, no live view is possible and one can't see anything in DSLRController.

I think it would be nice if this option could be disabled by DSLRController when starting up. Or at least there could be a message that the software can't work poroperly with this option set.

And another point on my wish list: I would very much appreciate a way to handle mirror locking. I do a lot of macros where this often is used.

The last point: Why is it so complicated to shoot? First one has to set focus, and then push the release button. Why not doing this in one go as I know it from my 100D? Just touch the screen, and the camera focuses and shoots in one go. That's so fast and convenient. Especially for wild live photography or street where every split second counts. But of course only as an option which could be disabled.

If these features could be added I'd pay for the "real" (non beta) version a much higher price because it is worth it.

Best regards, Werner

Is the TP-Link the only router to use? I've been ignoring wireless but thinking of giving it a shot... but I'd like the smallest stick or router possible as I'd likely mount a hotshoe to it and attach it to the top of my camera and don't want it to be huge. Thanks.
