Might be worth looking at DD-WRT.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index

Open source Linux router firmware. There might be support for a portable wireless router. I've had more experience with DD-WRT my router in the garage runs it. Great for an extender.

There are others though.

Otherwise depending on your hardware expertise you could possibly replace or add a larger milliamperes battery or make it switchable with a duplicate battery for longer life depending on how adventurous you are.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - yep I figured as much. The only solution would be to take apart one of the roms from source and manually debug the problem I'm guessing. Since so many roms don't have support for otg on the atrix 2 I'm guessing it's an overall problem. Honestly though the capability is there this should be fixable. I hold hope.

Oh yeah you posted as I was XD or a usb battery would be much easier thanhback and slashing a battery in. Then again I like to play with that stuff.

Thanks for help on Canon 600D (T3i) , Nexus 7 (2012) problems.

Hello Chainfire, thanks for your reply and I hope you had an enjoyable holiday.

Your analysis seems sound. There may be some issue with some Canon 600Ds, particularly in combination with the Nexus 7 (2012). And, judging from my experience and that of some other posters here, that does seem to be the case. I don’t know enough about either software or hardware to know, but I hope you can find a way to make the DSLR Controller communications a little more robust, so that it can better cope with USB chip variations.

As I wrote, I seem to have found a way to get it to work reliably, but I would feel uneasy depending on repeatedly plugging/unplugging the OTG cable in the long term.

Thanks for the really powerful and well implemented application. When it works it’s remarkable what it can do as a remote for my Canons. Some improvements I would love are:

1. The option to toggle ‘Full Screen Live View’ /Default View from the default DSLR Controller screen.

2. And (maybe impossible, I don’t know) the ability to see the "Magic Lantern' screen and toggle it with the DSLR Controller main screen.

Sensor overheating warning when in Liveview?

Just set up wireless DSLRC with the TP-Link router and my 2012 Nexus 7 today - worked straight away :) , and I'm really looking forward to playing with this with my 5DII.

I plan to use it for wildlife shooting (mostly birds at feeders or nests) where I sit a little distance from the camera to hopefully avoid too much disturbance of the critters (and I don't have a big telephoto lens!). However, given the warnings in the Canon manual about overheating when using liveview I'm wondering how often I'm going to need to walk over to the cam to switch it off to cool down & whether this might just disturb the wildlife more than if I just sat very still (and camouflaged) a bit closer!

Does anyone have any experience of timescales ie how long it can take for the overheating to start?

More specifically for DSLRC, 2 questions:

1 - does the little temperature warning icon that shows on the camera rear screen show up in the DSLRC screen too? At least this would tell me I need to rest the camera.

2 - is there any way within DSLRC of turning liveview off and then on again without having to walk over to the camera to flick a switch?

Thanks for any advice and apologies if I've missed something!

Magic lantern displays using the canon firmware. It's UI overlay is displayed the same way as canons. They can even interfere so. If it doesn't show up in live view regularly it won't show up on dslr controller
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
1. It does not. I was not aware there was any. I don't have a 5DmkII (I do have a III and several other models) and have never seen any temperature/overheating warning on any of them.

2. Yes, the top-left on-screen button (which shows auto exposure mode, M, Av, Tv, P, etc) turns liveview on and off
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123drb:
Re: temperature warning

Thanks for replying so quickly! I guess your answer to my 2nd question makes the first one slightly less worrisome since I can just turn Liveview off when there are no subjects around & turn it back on when it looks like I might have something to photograph! I had a quick look at the 5D3 manual though (just in case the temperature warnings were just for older models like the 5D2) and it's still there (hopefully the attached screenshot jpeg works). I've no idea where the icon would appear on the screen since they don't specify & their illustration of the rear screen in Liveview seems to show every other display item except a temp warning icon! Since you've presumably used Liveview a lot while developing the app and haven't seen it I should maybe not worry about it at all!

cheers,

David

Thanks Chainfire. I haven't rooted my tablet and rather not. So for the time being I am just saving captures to the tablet's remaining 10Gb memory, which is OK for now. If you can write a fix for it though so that DSLR Controller can save to the SD Card on tablets running KitKat without having to root, then that would be fantastic.

This is a bit off subject but, for whatever it is worth, I discovered that with KitKat it seems the Fat32 issue has been resolved which was limiting you to saving up to only 4GB files to either the tablet memory or the SD card. The other day I copied over a 10GB file to my tablet's SD card without any problem and the file runs with no problem on the tablet too.

What is strange though is that I did not format the SD card as NTFS and I assume the tablet formatted the card as Fat 32 when I installed the card, so I am not sure how KitKat is getting around the 4GB file size limit with Fat32.

I am going to assume that Android KitKat still doesn't read NTFS formatted drives because the other day I tried to connect a 1GB external drive with NTFS formatting to my tablet with an OTG cable and the tablet couldn't read the drive and said unreadable drive format.

Interesting. Anyway, any idea how this is working perhaps?

Not able to create mobile hotspot on Galaxy S4 MK2 4.3 Verizon

So I figured out what the issue was and thought I might as well post how I got it to work in case anyone else has the same problem.

Since the 6d has wifi, I needed to set that as the wifi hotspot instead of my S4. The faq does mention this, however that write up isn't super clear IMHO since far more discussion is presented about the phone hotspot setup. But it might be more obvious for others. So I set the 6d up as the wifi hotspot in camera access point mode (not infrastructure). Then on my S4 I selected the camera wifi and entered the code displayed on the 6d and connected. And here is where my issue was.. Since I am at home and have my home wifi going, my phone would automatically disconnect from the camera wifi and switch back to my home wifi. So to fix this I just long pressed on the wifi from the pull down screen, pushed the bottom left button, then "advanced", the unchecked "auto network switch". Once I did that, my phone would stay connected to the 6d wifi hotspot and I could connect to the camera using the DSLR Controller App. Anyhow hopefully that helps someone else at some point. Now to figure out the app..

I just bought the paid version of the app (obviously without doing my research first). I am trying to connect my Canon 6d to my Verizon Galaxy S4 MK2 4.3, but the phone won't let me create a mobile hotspot. I followed the faq here including installing the Hotspot Control App but I still get the error "Use of this service requires a subscription to Mobile Hotspot or Mobile Broadband Connect. To subscribe.." My phone is rooted but I honestly don't know much about all this stuff (I know that probably won't go over well here). I did see this guide on xda about how to allow me to unlock the ability to create a mobile hotspot, but honestly that seems like a lot for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Am I missing something? Is that the only way to unlock the ability to create a mobile hotspot without paying Verizon? I honestly didn't think this would be as complicated as it is. Thanks

Did you do anything specific to get it working properly on the Kindle or do you have any advice to make it work? I have pretty much the same setup as you except i'm on the Kindle Fire 2, but still running CyanogenMod 11 Android 4.4 using the 2.2 Tp-link (set on AP mode) with correct firmware flashed but everytime I run DSLR controller I get the "Could not find a compatible camera on either Wi-Fi or USB" Yet when tested with my Galaxy S3 running CM11 4.4 it works great.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rebelj12a:
Wow ok, Ive shot extensively using Magic Lantern RAW on both the Mark II and the Mark III. I did not even know that temperature warning even existed. Never had it come up. Honestly at the point of using Magic Lantern though you are more likely to have the CF card heat up more than the lcd would.

But in any case I wouldnt worry about using stock Mark II and Mark III with Live view on for long lengths of time. Ive shot promos and weddings using both and had the LCD and CF card running like mad without that icon appearing.

However... if you are yet still concerned with overheating issues, you could have the Mark II (I wouldn't suggest the Mark III at this point in development with magic lantern, forced irreversible bootflag at this point that slows down camera boot time considerably, its kind of messy) you could install magic lantern and have LiveView off while you are recording. There is an option in the menus to do so. The most recent official v2.3 Magic Lantern works great on the Mark II.

If you are using it for any professional purpose I highly recommend it in any case. Enhanced focusing, audio meters, built in microphone adjustments (although you shouldn't be using the built in anyways) and alot more. Its really helpful.

Im replying right now. Should explain things a bit better especially with how RAW works on Magic Lantern and why its causing these instabilities. Well my theories on it anyways.

DSLR Controller - IOS

Also anyone whos reading this. I had no idea, but there is a DSLR Controller for the iPad!!!

Needs to be jailbroken, and IOS7 and although it only displays video and no controls. Hey doesnt really matter to me, its better than absolutely nothing. This is great news for using the iPad as a field monitor up until now I dont know if i found anything that works at all. Great stuff love the work you are doing here.

Doesnt work with iPhone at this time but thats small anyways. Definitely want to see a full featured version of this.

This is a very handy app and I can see myself making a lot of use of it in my landscape photography.

One feature request:

When taking landscape photos with just the camera, I fix the aperture and adjust the exposure with the shutter speed based on the histogram. So I am looking at the histogram in live view while increasing or decreasing the shutter speed until I like what the histogram looks like, and then take the picture.

With the app, the equivalent is to select the exposure compensation button, pick a value in the pop-up window, exit the window, then evaluate the histogram. I find that I currently have to sort of guess what the EC should be to get the histogram where I want it, but it's not always the correct guess so I have to bounce back and forth to the EC pop up window until I get it right. Would it be possible to add plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to the main screen, so that you could quickly adjust the EC up or down while looking at the live histogram?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rebelj12a:
I get it, its IOS. Not nearly as easy or free to program for as android. Do you now how much a dev license costs D:

I could see why in the first place he would be more hesistant to develop on IOS i mean theres a smaller market compared to android for programmed apps and even smaller for jailbroken phones. While its a proof of concept with IOS and its frequent updates that break everything and no open sourced code, upkeep is much more difficult. That being said $15 is expensive for an app, but call it an investment in future developments and the programmer himself if enough people show interest.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Probably the kernel, so yes, because CM11.

Does this mean there are no longer any side effects to running ML on the 5DmkIII ? No delayed bootups or any of those things ?

You registered just to post this? :)

You can take it or leave it - at $25 it would still be a loss for me.

Just turn on the histogram, then tap-and-hold the EC button, this should highlight it. Then you can adjust EC with the volume buttons.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggy-h:
Not quite... ML still requires the bootflag to be set so its autoexec.bin can run on camera startup. I doubt that situation will ever change since AFAIK it's the only way to run custom code on startup other than flashing ML over the camera's firmware itself - something that I doubt will ever be implemented for a bunch of reasons. The alternative would be to manually flash a .fir file containing ML every time you wake the camera up. That's how the original alpha ML build for the 5D3 worked - no bootflag required but it wasn't very practical.

As you no doubt already know, if the bootflag is set the camera starts up a bit slower regardless of whether ML is present on a CF/SD card or not. The delay actually varies a bit depending on what card(s) you have in the camera. If you have no cards at all the startup's near instantaneous (but clearly this isn't of much practical use!). With just a fast CF card it's maybe 1-2 seconds, with a slower SD card it can be a little longer.

What's new is that the bootflag can now be disabled again. If you disable the bootflag then Magic Lantern will no longer be able to boot, but your camera will be back in the state it was when you first bought it, in particular the lag on startup will be gone.

What works well for me is to have a cheap & small SD card that just contains Magic Lantern and the bootflag .fir file. All my photos get written to a fast CF card (ML is configured to always prefer saving to CF). If I want to get rid of the lag (and disable ML) I can simply flash the .fir and reboot. To re-enable ML I just flash the .fir and reboot again. The only small downside is that disabling the bootflag takes 30 seconds (the .fir code has a deliberate delay though this could be removed in the future), so don't expect to be able to toggle it off in a real hurry.

TP-Link TL MR3040 Wireless Camera and Setup problems

Hello,

Trying to get my new MR3040 running with DSLR Controller on a Nexus 7. But neither my 5D Mark II or 600D are seen when I start DSLR Controller.

I flashed the MR3040 (yes, with the correct version 2) and everything went as described by Chainfire on his website. My Nexus 7 was able to connect to the MR3040 'DSLR Controller' and shows an excellent signal. But neither Canon were seen when I started DSLR Controller on the Nexus. I've tried different cables but the result is the same. When my Nexus 7 is 'Connected' to the MR3040 the WiFi light on the MR3040 starts to flash rapidly, which I'm hoping is normal.

Using a wired connection works always on the Canon 5D Mark II and occasionally on the 600D, but I've usually managed to get the 600D working by unplugging the OTG cable and re-inserting it.

One problem I had when I finished flashing the firmware was that the MR3040 default 'Management Interface Address', 192.168.1.1, listed in Chainfire's instructions is the same address as that of my Cisco Cable Modem. So I couldn't access my MR3040 to change any settings. Any advice on how to do this? That Cisco modem/router is connected by wire to an Apple Airport Extreme in 'Bridge' mode, and this Airport provides my WiFi.

Could the fact that my ISP Cable Modem has the same IP address (192.168.1.1) as the modded DSLR Controller MR3040 be the reason for not being able to connect wirelessly to the Canon cameras?

Any other thoughts on why I can't connect wirelessly?

Thanks.

Hallo,

no, not just because of that.

But one must not write criticism here?

Let's face it,

DSLRC for Android fully functional for about $ 9-10

DSLRC for iOS only image display nothing else! And after the next update (if one can even jailbreak) you have nothing. about $ 15

I do not see any relation.

But I enjoy teach.

Just want to make it clear that I absolutely find your work great! And also like Support. The Android vers. I've bought, too.

Just as I said, for a fully working iOS version or at least beta, which then sometime in the future works (jailbreak would also be OK) I would even $ 20 or $ 30 to spend.

But you do not write if you develop further?

HI, I have purchased you apps for my 5D2 a couple of years ago, thanks and I was a happy user

Now I have switch to the 1DC, currently the DSLRcontroller will work fine with the 1DC on photos or movie modes that is common with the 1DX . However for the 4k movie and S35 movie modes it will not function. Will you be planing to add these the your app? I understand you may not have a 1DC available for port sniffing. I am willing to help capture port data from my 1DC and test it out if you tell me what to do.

I believe it will be very simple for to add support to this mod camera to your support list once you can capture the data.

I tried to contact you via email last year but replied you were on vacation. Just wondering will you be interested?

What cables to use

Hello,

I have Canon 450D and Samsung SII

I am trying to make sure I am buying right cables before I purchase the app. I don't like to buy on eBay (don't trust transactions), so I want to buy what I can off Amazon.

So, I understand that best cable has to be purchased from Lindy Computer. Which is fine according to the link from the DSLR Controller website it suppose to be "1m USB OTG Cable - Black, Type Micro-B to Mini-B"

Now, I have to buy the USP OTG Cable. The link from the DSLR Controller website brings me to eBay

Micro USB OTG HOST Cable USB Power for Samsung Phone i9100 i9220 i9250 LS4G

on Amazon I found: Micro USB Host OTG Cable for Samsung i9300 Galaxy S III S3 / S2 S II LTE i9210 i9100

Can you please tell me:

1. Do I need to buy OTG Host cable?

2. If Yes, will it be OK to get one from Amazon?

I would stay away from the 1Dc and the 1DX, Magic Lantern themselves got a cease and desist for the 1D series cameras from Canon. They were given an open flag by Canon for all other cameras, but Canon specifically said stay away from the 1D series cameras.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggy-h:
No, ML never received a cease and desist. There was only an indication that Canon might take legal action against software modifications to any 1-series cameras (http://www.canonrumors.com/2013/01/inside-the-canon-eos-1d-c/). There's no ML for 1-series cameras partly for that reason, but also because it would require a lot of effort to develop, no developer has one or is willing to risk bricking a 1-series camera, and the user base would be tiny so it would hardly be worth the effort and risk.

That's all irrelevant anyway since DSLR Controller doesn't modify the camera's software. I can see no reason why Canon would have a problem with DSLR Controller on a 1-series body.

I'm trying to get my 6D to connect to my Moto X, with no luck. I've tried both ways, phone as a hotspot via EOS Utility, and connect to smartphone. I have not tried via USB as I don't currently have a OTG cable.

The Canon EOS utility connects flawlessly, however I'm unable to pair using DSLR Controller. Have rebooted camera and phone several times. Have added and deleted and reset wifi settings several times.

Is it possible to try an earlier beta version of DSLR Controller?
