[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I already own a TR-WR902AC and have been running LEDE on it since support was added. I just discovered you distribute an LEDE based firmware for it and I'm wondering if I could avoid buying a second router by making my Canon work with it. I've been using your app via USB up until now

Would you be able to share which packages you used and how you configure it to do what your image does? I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet (just discovered your how-to) and the camera (5D mkiii) isn't with me at the moment. I don't think I bothered to include any packages to make the USB work in my build (unless it's already in the default config for that target), I assume they would be the first requirement. Beside that, I noticed there are a couple of packages related to Canon cameras (gphoto2 and libgphoto2-drivers-canon) in the LEDE package repo. Are these required? Or do Canon just use network protocols? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I've never tried to connect my camera to Linux for any reason.

Of course I'm hoping you just use existing packages or have submitted any changes you've made to achieve this functionality... If not, I'm happy to just get another one for this purpose and use your image on it. Figured it was worth asking before I buy a second one (which seems wasteful).

If it is relatively simple to configure, maybe you would consider writing an advanced guide for those who wish to use it for other things (and keep it up to date).

Either way, I'm very happy with the functionality of your app via USB and have been using it for quite a while now. Thanks for continuing to develop it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
My firmware contains custom code to communicate with the Canon cameras and sends it on via Wi-Fi, it is not a standard linux package. I'd have to give you the sources for you to be able to self-configure it, which I'm not currently willing to do.

However, if you just want to use the unit as a standard router aside from DSLR Controller use, you can do so with my custom firmware as well. It's just the basic LEDE packages + web config + DSLR Controller. The network names and password are preset, but you can change them manually through the web interface if you want to.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AusX10:
Ah, the answer I was fearing! That's ok, I'll just get a second one as I prefer to be able to keep it up to date (security is my main concern as a travel router). Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Video Preview Not Working

Ever since the Aug 02 update to version 1.05, trying to preview video recordings causes the app to crash. The app will disconnect from the camera and an on screen notice is given that the app has unfortunately stopped. The camera has to be turned off and back on again to connect. At first I thought it was a bad cable. Connected the camera to another device with the 1.02 version and had no issues. After running that device, the app updated to 1.05 and now having the same issue.

Having the video preview is very important for my work. How can I revert back to 1.02 or will there be a fix on this issue?

The camera is EOS Rebel T2i | 1.1.0 Firmware. Devices are Android running 4.4.2. One device is rooted, the other is not. Both devices worked fine with the app until the 1.05 update.

BTW- The only work around to this has been to transfer the video to the device which takes too long to do.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I just pushed v1.06 to the Play Store, that fixed the issue on my test device. Hope it fixes it for you too, as there's nothing more I can do before I leave on vacation!

Looks to me like an MX Player update triggered this issue though, is it possible an MX Player update came in at the same time?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] theseakayaker:
Thanks for the info. I'll load the update. I poured through the MX to see if that was the issue when I started having the problem but never found anything. I need to check the last update time stamp on the MX player to see if a new update happened in sync with the controller update. When the controller stopped working on my phone, it still worked on my tablet running the previous version.

I'll uninstall and reinstall both to see if that helps.

Have a fun vacation!

Has anyone used DSLR Controller on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 and had luck?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kingbeta:
I'm using an EOS 700D with Magic Lantern for video. The main features I use from ML are the audio level meter, magic zoom for live focus checking, and advanced histograms.

I've recently been looking into using DSLR Controller with a portable Wi-Fi router, so I can control the camera remotely from an Android device.

Had anyone tried using the two together? I understand it's not possible to use the ML features while viewing remotely with DSLR Controller. But does the camera still work while using both - does it still show ML on the camera itself?

Alternatively, can the features I mentioned be used remotely in DSLR Controller with the EOS 700D, so I wouldn't need ML at all?

DSLR Controller on kindle fire

I bought the app the other day from the Play Store and downloaded it onto a 5th generation kindle fire. (I found instructions on installing the Play Store onto the Kindle) When I try to open the app, the screen goes blank for a second then returns to the home screen. If I connect my Canon T1i to the Fire through the USB connection and turn the camera on, it "sees" the camera and asks what app I want to use. I select DSLR Controller from the list, the screen goes blank for a second, and goes back to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times with the same results.

Help?

Bracketing for hdr

Awesome news!

I'de pay dearly to get 8+ bracketed shot on my 7d! Do you have more information on how your bracketing works?

I have almost 1000 photographers following me on g+ and i would like to report some HDR and long exposure controls.

Also, you should team up with HDR camera plus app and do the HDR merge on the android phone!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
If you can add more than 3 brackets shots, that would totally rock. At sunset, you often need a lot more than 3 to get the full range of light.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeski27:
Got it up and running on my GTab 10.1 + 50D, but weird thing that I've noticed has to do with the tap-the-screen auto focus. I have "Live" selected for auto focus type, and when you first start the program and try an auto focus by tapping the screen it works. However, if you move the the focusing window to another part of the viewing area and try to refocus, it simply doesn't work, doesn't do anything. It basically gives you one autofocus per session, and to do any further focusing you have to do so manually (and by that I mean using the "<<" ">>" focusing toggles). Anyone else have this happen?

Also, Ive noticed that regarding the selection of auto focus type, it only lets you make one selection per session - so if you switch from Quick to Live, you can't switch back again unless you restart the program.

Phenomenal app otherwise though, massive potential! Just with my Nexus One had an easier-to-understand set of directions for setting up USB host (it is possible, but I have yet to find instructions that are even remotely easy to understand, and so far Cyanogen has yet to incorporate this into a rom :( )
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeski27:
On other suggestion that I think would be huge for tablet users - would it be possible to allow the app to rotate as the screen/tablet does? For the Xoom or GTab 10.1, the USB or other connectors are on the bottom, and it would be vastly more convenient to be able to rotate the tablet so that one's cable connections come out of the top rather than the bottom. Most apps have this ability, so I think its fair to say that it should be an easy and much useful tweak. :cool:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cr0wnest:
Hey chainfire, this is a really nice app. My dad is a photographer and he would love to try this out, but unfortunately 8 bucks for a beta is a little too pricey. Hope you can release a demo version of some sort in the future!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
+1

Mostly I'm looking for the ability to setup a sequence of photos for HDR.

Just for the record I'm using a canon 60D with a 3G Moto Xoom running stock 3.1 so far everything seems to work [limited testing].

I'd also like to see the ability to turn my Xoom upside down (so the USB cable is on the top) . Can you either honor the sensor or and a manual switch for orientation?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joeski27:
So are you able to touch the screen to focus multiple times during one session? If so are you in Live or Quick focus mode? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
Yes. I touched for a center focus. Zoomed in and focused again and then changed the focus to a different spot and focused again. It all seemed to work pretty well. I was using Live focus mode. As I recall I had to touch the screen for a bit (a long press) to get the focus location to move. I'll test more thoroughly tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
I assume you are using a Xoom - what camera body?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Why does market say the app is not compatible with Nook Color? They got host usb working on NC so I was really hoping to use it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NismoR31:
you won't be able to use it with 1D2N as the USB connection on them only works as a card reader. You need to connect via firewire to tether those older models.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] knoxploration:
Would love to see support added for Pentax DSLRs... While they don't support live view over USB, all recent models support remote control via USB. There are a few clients available on Windows / Mac / Linux, but nothing I've see yet for Android.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 9100_it:
no one for Nikon?! :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aymara:
Very interesting news, but I find 6 Euros for Beta (!) software a bit pricey!

It would be nice to see a time limited demo like on Poweramp.

I would like to test, if it also works with a Canon G12, but not for that price, sorry. With my good old 20D it doesn't make much sense without live view.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shaggy-h:
For all you people complaining about the price, think about this:

- the software is the only of its kind in the market

- it provides some amazing features already even though it's only in beta

- it is less than the cost of a USB host cable

- it is WAY less than the cost of even the cheapest DSLR

- once features like an intervalometer are added, it'll also be far cheaper and more convenient than the equivalent accessories

- the comparable iOS app (which still needs to connect via a PC) is between $20-$50 depending on features

Still complaining?

Unfortunately I can't use this app with my Nexus One but I think I'm going to buy it anyway to support the developer and because when I upgrade my phone soonish (N3?) I'll definitely want this app at that point.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lorenzo353:
Hi,

nice app! does it use libptp2 (h__p://libptp.sourceforge.net) ?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nkhs9412235:
The price will go up once v1.0 is reached, but the upgrade is free for those who have this BETA???

Why can't I see free version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aymara:
That would be a great deal, but ...

... that's the point: Sales would go up drastically, if a time limited demo would be available, that demonstrates, that I don't waiste my money ... I'm pretty shure about that.

I have often enough seen software offers, that looked promising, but didn't convince me after a test.

To make it short ... some explanations and screenshots aren't enough to convince me to buy, not only in this case, but in general, so I hope to see a demo soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheZuneLune:
Seriously, the developer (reputable and experienced) has chosen to charge for the beta. You can choose to pay for it or not if you don't like it. He has put a lot of time in and is trying to get a return on his invstment. If you don't like it, please email him instead of hickacking the thread to air your personal grievances. Some of us have paid for it and are looking to discuss functionality.

Whatever happened to the N1 USB Host Mode driver?

http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

The guy even had an external monitor working. I don't think it ever got merged into Cyanogenmod. Would it work though?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I believe so, yes.

Good to know.

Will check this out.

Problem fixed in my development version, will be in the next update.

Re: recording, that is interesting to know... Then it must be some setting somewhere. I did find it weird that EOS Utility would disable a record button it wouldn't normally display, but grayed out. Any hints as to which setting this may be ?

Re: Market, I honestly have no idea what is going on. Market is a boatload of fail.

Not as far as I know, I'm not sure it will ever be supported.

Not yet, but the feature is planned.

As stated above, I'm not sure if the 5D will ever work. The protocol used is much older than what I'm currently using, I'm not sure if I can make that work.

As stated above, it must be a setting somewhere on the 5D2 I have here then. I will look into this.

However, video is not an afterthought at all, but I have other things to fix first.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I just tested this on a 400D (not 450D) and the options did prompt me for input. It otherwise only half worked, though. I was supposed to have this 400D for the week, but unfortunately I ended up only having it for a few hours. I will be picking up a 450D to test on probably later today.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Just picked up the 450D. This is going to be fun... :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dishe:
Nice!

BTW- do you think Magic Lantern firmware hacks would get in the way of this working?

I'm assuming this works by pretending to be the EOS Utility to the camera, right? So whatever works with the official EOS Utility should still work here?

Because I'm a HUGE fan of ML, can't buy another camera without it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I believe somebody already posted it works with ML, but such things may of course depend on ML version, some things may not work, etc.

DSLR Controller is completely written from scratch and EOS Utility is a different codebase (and closed source at that so who knows what it does), so compatibility will not be 1:1. But to be honest, I don't expect a lot of trouble with ML :) I haven't tested with it, though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaoropez:
thats awesome news, cant wait to see it working with the 450d. this app is the reason i bought my tab 10.1, as soon as i read about your app, bought it the next day
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bretac:
Well, I may not be of any help for a few days. I didn't reinstall the EOS utility after reformatting, and now I can't find the install CD. My new goal for today and tomorrow is to get the utility on my laptop at all costs to test the 5DMII. Will report back soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] msatter:
If you still can't find your CD have a look at this page:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I've used that page once or twice :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Also, I hate this 450D and it's family members, lol.

Various things will not be supported or not properly. Silly thing doesn't support remote auto focus (also not through EOS Utility), remote bracketing, and liveview is limited to a few modes. Etc. Etc. :) I hope I'll be able to fix the liveview properly for when it does work, before I have to give it back tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlrbjr:
Canon Software is always available directly from them (although sometimes you need a previous release for the install to work -- that's true for DPP, but I think the EOS Utility is a complete download).

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arrtoodeetoo:
This doesn't bode well for my little 400D. :(

I hooked up my friend's 60D the other day and had a lot of fun playing with the app. It made me jealous of her fancy camera, but she was jealous of the app. :p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Lol. Unfortunately I have to return this cam tomorrow at 3 PM my time. I doubt I can fix the remaining issues :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
I would swear, there're no settings for that. Only hint I have on that is to make sure, you have the right version of the EOS utility. For my '5DII-Setup' I use 2.5.1.1 (Canon EOS Utility).

No worries, I have my solution with the old market. I just thought it might be helpful if others run into the same trouble.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CamTheSnapper:
Hi guys,

Please excuse my newbieness but I'm pretty stuck. I have just moved over from iPhone 4 to SGSII in the past week with one of the main reasons being the DSLR Remote app. I am a pro photographer in Australia and have numerous time-lapse cameras in operation around the country. I have previously had to take my Macbook Pro with me to plug in to the time-lapse housing but I'm hoping (and research tells me I can) to only need my SGSII.

My Android version is 2.3.3 with Baseband I9100XXKG1, Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2 and Build number GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2

I have tried to buy the app but it the web store says my device in incompatible and the Market app won't display the DSLR app at all. Now, I think I have found out from reading the forums that I need to have 2.3.4 installed in order for the app to be installed. Is this correct?

If so then I'm really stuck on how to upgrade. I've tried reading heaps and heaps of posts but they all seem to point me in different directions and I end up back where I started.

So...

1) Would any of you kind chaps point me to a good faq or how-to on installing 2.3.4 and rooting the phone?

2) When I do anything like updating to 2.3.4 or rooting the phone do I have to make a backup first?

3) Can I do a full backup of my phone and restore it if there is a problem?

Thanks so much in advance - I'm not a tech newbie, just an Android newbie.

Cheers,

Cam
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
Well, I guess that's a bit OT here, but I make it short and of course, I can only talk from my point of view using the Lite'ning ROM. There're alot of them and you had to look in the individual threads of each ROM. I picked the Lite'ning ROM because it was extremely easy to install and had no 'extremes' (extreme lean, extreme fast, whatever). If you want to use it, visit this thread and follow the instructions (scroll down to "Extra Informations"). It's super easy, done in 10 Minutes. A personal note: I would use the 4.1 version, the 5.0 is not 'ready' yet. I'm on 4.1 and extremly happy. Good battery life, Android 2.3.4, a good Kernel (ninphetamine 2.0.2) and no hickups.

Well, before you have a custom ROM, there is hardly a good backup. I wouldn't even know how to use KIES and all that. In case you have to return to the stock firmware, there's plenty of links to get that from the net.

IMHO that's one of the best benefits of a custom ROM. In 'mine' the CWM tool and Nandroid backup is included, which backups really every single bit in one action. The best, it does that from the recovery menu, so before Android even starts. Not only you get the perfect image of your phone, but can also return to any state you 'freezed' with a backup, even when Andriod is messed up anyhow. I love it!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CamTheSnapper:
Thanks a lot for that info, really appreciated! I'll get started on that straight away and report back with my success (or lack of it) :-D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CamTheSnapper:
Worked like a charm - apart from the fact I had to hijack on of my kid's Windows laptops :)

Currently making a backup of the phone and DSLR Controller is installed. Have to just wait for my on-the-go cable to arrive in the next few days..

Yeah i know that nanopi is power hungry compared to a mr3020. But especially the lovely 3020 is not available anymore and compared to the price of a suggested WR902AC (which is really nice) there are more capabillities in using a nonapi for me.
