Please point me in the right direction if this has been covered before.

I am using the TP-Link MR3040 with a Canon T3i and Nexus 7 (2013) LTE. The router .bin flash went well and I can connect and shoot. I then tried to get real world internet by making the TP-Link router. I plugged in an 8C8P (Ethernet ) cable from my home router into the port on the TP-Link. No deal. I then went to look at the settings or the TP-Link. I un bridged the LAN from eth0 and the wifi. I then tried to create a new interface (WAN) . I set this as a DHCP client and assigned it to eth0. No deal. Can't connect to real world internet and breaks the DSLR connection.

Any advice or directions.

I think that first thing you have to do is to try other cables. May be try some from your friends or even right at the shop. From my point of view - quality of the cable is very important.

nexus 4 and mr3040?

Hi, thanks for confirming that Nexus 4 works with dslr controller via tplink. I have updated required firmware to openwrt. However, it states that there is no WiFi connection and that my device is not compatible. I may have updated the mr3040 firmware while on ap rather than 3g/4g. Could this be a problem? Do I need to route my phone??. Can you please advice? Thank you.

Update?

When can we expect to see new update?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jay NOMAD:
i joined this board so I could commend Chainfire on the progress he's made with this controller. it's a wonderful tool for all Canon shooters. I wanted to please beg for some 5D support though (5D Classic/Original). I know the software is old but the options for a tethering solution for the 5D are minimal. If there's a way, please integrate some support in it for the 5D. I would really love to review images fast on iPad with my 5D tethered to it. it's a real shame that Canon phased it out with it's SDK. many, like I, just can't afford the jump to a Mark II at this point.

App or camera shuts down

OK, so I am using a Canon t3i, and I have a brand new Google Nexus 7 7" tablet. I am using a Lindy OTG micro to mini cable. I have a purchased version of the app.

The app finds the device about 50% of the time, other times gives the "unable to find device" message.

Then I turn the camera off and on again - and sometimes it finds it....

Then it will be running for about a minute or 2, and the camera will shut off, or the app just freezes...

Please help!

This was the problem. Sorry, it was user error! Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

I am using Ad Hoc (camera to device) because I am a nature photographer and I need to be able to wirelessly connect in the field. My Galaxy S3 does have hotspot and I intend to try connecting using it as a hub between my Canon 70 D and my Asus Infinity tablet.I have not yet done so.

I am using "Smartphone" mode in the 70D.

When I connect via USB and OTG adapters to both my tablet and my phone, I experience the same problem with the continuous shooting mode "hold and release." Tap to start and tap to end works fine. This is not a major problem. i can certainly work around it.

I intend to test this with my Canon T2i to see if it replicates this issue.

Thank you for your help! keep up the good work!

Remote Release, TPLink 600D and SGS4

I don't seem to be able to get this combination to work. I've upgraded the TPLink with the latest software from the website. I can connect to the admin gui from my phone or pc and see the DSLRController module is installed.

When the camera is on I get a message in dmesgs like (Disconnects being when the camera times out):

[ 201.720000] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-platform

[ 236.880000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 2

[ 585.610000] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-platform

[ 620.760000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 3

But remote release just tells me that it can't find a compatible camera on either Wi-Fi or USB.

Same USB cable direct to PC works fine with EOS Utility.

Same USB cable wit an OTG adapter works ok with remote release.

Not sure what else I can try at this point. Any ideas?

Cannot find camera (TP-Link)

> A willingness to tinker

That’s the job description for my day job. I just can’t seem to get the tp-link camera-app combination going though. I start things in the listed order, turn on tp-link, connected to wifi, turn on camera and start the app. there is a quick flash of something I can’t read (first work might be searching and last might be devices). FYI I am not an IDIOT! :eek: (although I feel like one now)

Testing with Remote Release, I’ve tried multiple endpoints without luck.

G2x (LG-p999)

“No Wi-Fi device was found and your android device is not compatible” (with usb…)

Arm v7

Android 2.3.7

cyanogenMod 7.2.0-rc1-p999

Nook HD+

“Could not find a compatible camera on either Wi-Fi or USB.”

Arm v7 rev 10 (v71)

cyanogenMod 10.1.3-ovation

Android 4.2.2

Oh… Canon T3i/600D

I did change the wifi password. Both devices have connected to the TP-Link. The app will start and then give the corresponding messages for each device (above in quotes)

Did that.

I had to dig through the FAQ to find this, but it did not help. Sure would be nice to know which models.

Does the camera have to be in a certain mode to connect? P/M/A/video…

I was banking on this:

When I purchased the TP-Link and a Tablet.

Any help/suggestions/criticism most welcome! Please tell me where I am screwing up!

Canon T3i , Nexus 7 problems

Hello rtrube.

I'm afraid I can't help solve the issue, but it might be some consolation to know that you're not alone. See my post one page back 'Canon 600D (T3i) and Nexus 7 (2012) mostly not working'. I have to say that I have not had the 'freezing' issue.

As I said there I found that by plugging in the OTG cable when everything else is up and running I can get 'DSLR Controller' to start up every time. I've had no other reply either to my direct email to the developer, or on this forum.

Let's hope someone is listening and can help.

I've done some more digging. I can see the DSLRController app on the TP-Link listening for UDP on 1899 so that all seems fine.

Now I've looked at the other end of things and I can see the following in logcat:

So it seems that remote release doesn't have network permissions, indeed reinstalling from the market I notice it's marked as USB and doesn't have network permissions as one of the required set.

Is there a version of remote release which will work across wifi? Or do I have to bite the bullet and buy the full (beta) app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 4q1:

WIll Wait - wireles remote release.

Well I did a little research on Chainfire. Lots a great apps. thanks! I understand what it's like to have a kid in the hospital, so I'm happy to wait to see if this can be addressed. I am hoping this was a new arrival - a preme like mine that required Oxygen for the first few weeks. Hopefully, the kid is home and all is well.

When time allows, please do offer a suggestion on testing wireless with DLSR Controller via Remote Release.

I just got a Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 and I put a 64GB memory card in the tablet. I hooked it up to DSLR Controller and it works great, but in the settings it does not give me the option to save files to the 64GB memory card. It only gives me the option to save files to the 16GB on board tablet memory.

I used to use a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 and DSLR Controller would let me save the file captures to either the on board memory or the memory card.

I wonder if there is an issue with the new version of Android Kit Kat 4.4 that is running on the Tab 8.4 or perhaps if there is another issue that is preventing me from saving captures to the 64GB memory card?

60D with Nexus 7

Hello;

I am a new user of DSLR controller. I just downloaded it last night, and have a few questions for those of you whom are more experienced. I am using a 60D and a Nexus 7 with android 4.3. I was able to install the program and get the camera and device working without any issues,

My questions are about a couple functions.

The first being the light/exposure meter.The program does not seem to display the information from the camera. Is this do to possible compatibility issue, is the program not able to, or is the data not sent by the camera. At the bottom of the screen there is an area you would expect to display this data, but it does not appear to. In A/V and T/V this is the button for the exposure compensation. I can use the histogram to get close, but I used to the in eye piece exposure meter. Just curios if any other 60D user have been able to see an exposure meter.

And a very small question about the level that is built in; has anyone been able to get it to work with the 60D ? I know where I wold find it, but it is not there.

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rtrube:
So here is what I have found.

I have to do a hard restart of the tablet each time I want to use the app. Before I start filming (using it mostly for video...) I simply do a hard restart/ full power off and turn back on cycle. I then plug everything in, and then turn on the camera and the app. It found it every time over the past week. In each case, I could shoot, watch the clip, switch back and all was good. If I used the tablet for anything else during the day, and then tried to use the app - I would have to restart the tablet....

This app is awesome. I am very happy with what it does - and now that I have played with it - I am almost giggly about it....

Hope that helps!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Sorry for the late replies, I was on vacation! Normally I enable email auto-responder and put in big red letters here in my signature that I'm on vacation, but I forgot to do both this time around.

It depends on the camera, really. In the case of the 550D, 600D, etc, the camera sends a different image format down the USB cable when recording than when not recording. That image format takes a lot(!) more bandwidth, resulting in slower performance. I guess this is needed on those models because this format also takes much less processing power on the camera side, probably the processor in the camera is not fast enough to both compress the liveview image for USB as well as compress the recorded video to storage card, and thus this comprimise is done.

I'm not sure if the 7D (the post you replied to was about 7D) does this as well. Either way, the 7D was never amongst the highest performing cameras in combination with DSLR Controller.

I'm sorry but I don't really have a solution for you. Both the Nexus 7 and the 600D are known to be compatible, but both have also had a lot of reports of 'flaky' behavior like this. As your 5D works fine, by all means so should the 600D. The only thing I can imagine is something electrical, with the 5D having a higher quality port/USB chip that is more forgiving, while failing with the 600D.

I wish I could help, but there really isn't much I can say about this case.

Regarding Magic Lantern, there is no testing done against it. However, it is perfectly expected for ML extensions that show up on camera to not show up on the tablet.

I understand your difficulty here, but the 5D uses a completely different protocol from the newer devices. It would take a ridiculous amount of work to get it supported, while being useful for only a very tiny subset of potential users.

Remote Release has not been updated for a long time and indeed does not include the Wi-Fi capability. I've put it on my to-do list to update it, might even happen today.

EDIT: It has been updated, and the new version should be available for download from Play in a few hours.

It's on my to-do list for the next update to fix this problem (related to KitKat, as you mention in your review). If the sdcard is 'normally' accessable (due to fixing it with root, or the firmware supporting it like the olden days, etc) you should again be able to save directly to sdcard's DSLRController path, and if not, it will be able to store in the application specific files path, which is something like sdcard/Android/eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller/files/... or the likes. Beware though, uninstalling the app will wipe(!) this folder.

There is no option to change this. I have put it on my to-do list to look at this.

Already on the feature request list.

Both the exposure metering and level are visible in the app only if sent by the camera - as far as I know the 60D does not send this information over USB.

Try keeping your language set to US-English specifically after your next hard-reset, see if that makes the problem go away.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Please try my own "USB Host Diagnostics" app ... If you can get USB sticks to work, there's no hardware issue. It's just kernels and frameworks and whatnots not playing nice - a software issue.

Alternatively, you can use a modified TP-Link TL-MR3040 to be able to connect via Wi-Fi, see the website for details.

Eye-Fi's can be used to spy on shots taken. I believe they themselves have software for that, even. It's not possible to remotely control the camera though.

Eye-Fi is all about artificial limitation though - not all cards can connect to mobile (software crippling), and there no technical or legal reason to disable the use of RAWs (in fact, I seem to recall their most expensive model supports RAW just fine)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rebelj12a:
Oh yeah I tried yours, got a lot of great info from that which led me down this path its really helpful.

Yeah kernels and framework, im trying to get to the root of the problem and possibly fix it so it does. It seems that the PacMan Rom i am using doesn't support USB Host built in. Its not in the system menu and 2 different apps ive used indicate that while the USB drive is shown on the Linux Side, its not shown on the android.

Dump from your app.

Android API

Claims Support - Yes

Device Detected - Yes

Device Detected - No

Rooted API

N/A for both

Kernel

Claims Support - Yes

Device Detected - Yes

Verdict

OS Support - Yes

3rd Party Apps - No

I am guessing the 3rd Party apps part is probably why dslr controller isn't working. I am guessing its linked to the Android API of course. Since the API isnt detecting the device the app can't use it. I know on stock Atrix 2 software its there but not implemented. Thats why I was hoping the Rom would help. Going to make a Virtual System for testing different roms and see. Although, I was debating taking apart Pacman rom and seeing about implementing it and hoping for the best. I have little experience with Rom programming but it keeps looking like that may be the only option.

The raw thing is strange, most posts I saw seemed to indicate it didnt, or maybe it was that you couldnt view it on android, at least with the eyespy app. In any case thats something at least to look into. I was honestly looking for a more groundbreaking fix for the EyeSpy connection to the app since it has WiFi built in but that might just be a dead end unless the card could be programmed to function as a WFT module for the DSLR.

Ok and you are right, little more research doesn't look like the cr2 raw as a format is specifically restricted. Like I said that was just an idea I was throwing around didnt get a chance to look into it too much. The only thing with raw even for "spying" on the camera pictures is raw files are quite large. I think I have a lower end 1st gen EyeSpy in the first place I got as something to more play with XD
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You are rooted I assume? Did USB Host Diagnostics not offer to 'fix' the problem for you?

Do you have a file named: /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.usb.host.xml ?

Quite right!

The app you are using probably just doesn't support raw files, which is not at all surprising, really.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rebelj12a:
Hah of course rooted! No other way XD.

No it didn't offer to fix the problem. Should it have?

I submitted one report using liquid smooth. I'm going to submit one for each rom I try, so far kit kat- liquid smooth, apps no dice yet same thing was displayed as what I posted with your app.

I will look for that file and get back to you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Ah that is too bad. That is often a quick fix for the issue. If that doesn't fix it, it means something else is wrong with the Android software, and I don't know what :(

No. The TP-Link lists quite a while on its 2000mAh battery though, and you can buy extra batteries (it's probably just as cheap to buy multiple TP-Link's though).

Further more, posting in really big blue letters is not appreciated. Please do not do that again.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Completely irrelevant. DSLR Controller uses it's own software for the TP-Link, which you can get from our website. If you want to use the dslr remote software, you'll have to use dslr remote, not DSLR Controller.

As stated, DSLR Controller only supports the TP-Link TL-MR3040 at this time.

However, if you need longer battery life, a power bank may be a solution, they come in all shapes and sizes, and you can connect them to the MR3040 with a USB cable to keep it powered for a very long time. One of them is even present in DSLR Controller's MR3040 demonstration video available here: http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi_mr3040.php
