DslrDashboard V0.26.2_beta

DslrDashboard V0.26.2_beta

Added storage (sdcard) remaining images display ([E] in case no card is inserted) - would be nice if someone with a dual slot camera could test if info for both slots are displayed (D7000, D800)

Added storage removed/inserted notification

Storage info update after a capture operation

Please someone with dual slot camera test this new version and report if display for both slots is working.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hilman79:
D7000, Xperia Arc, JJHyb_V2.2_ARC LT18i, ICS 4.0.3

i found that;

it will take the 2nd slot as default to show, e.g:

1) pull out both, insert 1st slot will show value for 1st slot, then insert 2nd slot will show value for 2nd slot

2) pull out both, insert 2nd slot then insert 1st slow, the value will show for 2nd slot

it will show E on start even one of slot is inserted with SD. therefore it will cause FC for any buttons click. i believe this should not be happened as earlier finding as above was working fine (with one slot empty)

additional, the app will running again after i got FC and even the cable was unplugged... but not a big deal for me :-)

thanks, keep it up the good work bro :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Thx

Can you tell me to what mode is your slot2 set (should be somewhere in shooting menu)?

0: Sequential recording,

1: Back-up recording,

2: RAW+JPEG division recording

Do you get 2 boxes for both slots or only one (like [E] [E] if both slots are empty) ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
I uploaded a new version with small fixes for slot handling and card remaining images display.

Hilman79 can you test it when you have time?

Now if I connect my camera with empty slot the app works and it also properly detects the card insert/remove. Also if no card is inserted I can change the properties and capture images to sdram.

D80 problem

I'm having a hard time getting my D80 connected. I've seen there's no sdk. :-)

Phone: t-mobile, SGH-T989

ROM: Juggernaut v5.0 ROM

Kernel: no luck with stock, Jugg's, or synergy .10

I do have an OTG cable and I've been able to access the camera's SD card from Astro file manager using the mass storage mode on the camera. I haven't been able to connect using PTP at all. Both Jugg v5 and synergy claim OTG support. I have been able to connect a wireless mouse to the phone. I don't want to upgrade to the faux ICS right now, because I've heard there are some problems with echoes in phonecalls. Does anyone have an idea of a stable ROM/kernel combo to use on an SGH-T989 that would work with a Nikon D80?

I'll attach my logcat, but it looks to me like it's not going in to PTP mode. idk.

BTW, thank you for the application, if I ever get it working, I know I'm going to have a blast!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Hi humanflight

Actually there is a SDK for the D80 and I fixed the D80 issues with another D80 user that helped me.

Looking at the included log in first line you see that the ROM u use dosn't included the full USB API.

W/dalvikvm( 9920): VFY: unable to find class referenced in signature (Landroid/hardware/usb/UsbDevice;)

Probably it only supports USB accessories but not USB devices.

SGH-t989 ROM/kernel problem

hi thehabos, Thank you for the super quick response! i guess that means that it's not the D80's fault, but the ROM's fault. Do you or anyone else know a solid ROM I can put on the SGH-T989 that would include the full USB API? I'm going to run off an get my googles on. <whoosh>
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] humanflight:

Success! Thanks again for the app thehabos! I've got it working with my D80 connected to my t-mobile samsung galaxy s2 sgh-t989. I'm using Darkside's evolution 2 beta 3 ROM (ICS). It appears to be a very stable rom and the app works great. Can't wait to put it through its paces.

cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] supraman215:
Love the app it works great, bought the book on how to use it also. I am using it on a D90 and Google Nexus running ICS 4.0.4 The book however doesn't clearly explain bracketing. Two issues I have:

1. When bracketing if I choose BRKT it takes the number of pictures set in the camera's bracketing mode, and it doesn't bracket based on exposure which is how I have it set. When I have it set to custom bracket it takes the number of pictures set up in the app but it doesn't bracket them either it takes 5 of the same shots for example. If I have BOTH BRKT and Custom BRKT set it takes a multiple of the 2 numbers if I have the camera set to 3 and the app set to 5 it will take 15 and bracket based on the cameras setting correctly. So in this example it would take every 3 shots bracketed by exposure.

2. Is there a way to have it automatically display the picture immediately after it is taken?

Thanks in advance.

Jeff
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Hi

For the built in bracketing BKT button should be enabled (turned on). After you enable it, it should automatically change the shooting mode to continuous and set the number of images to take to 3 on the main view (check it).

For the custom bracketing:

The BKT button should be turned off and the CUSTOM BKT button turned on. The shooting mode on main view should be single. The buttons in the CUTOM BKT row only apply for the custom bracketing mode (image count, exposure step, direction). The custom bracketing using the built in bracketing isn't working for now because of the changes I made, I needed to change how the bracketing works to support the status screen. Will fix it in the upcoming versions.

Also in upcoming versions I plan to move the bracketing, sound shooting, time lapse in separate dialogs like the one for flash properties.

Actually I already made it just needs some testing and refinment.

I think that way it can be accessed faster.

For the image preview after taking the picture I think it could be done.

Probably it will be a bit tricky when you take more images at once (like bracketing or focus stacking) but I think I can handle that some way.

Can't promise you for the next release but I will put it on my TODO list.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] supraman215:
"The custom bracketing using the built in bracketing isn't working for now because of the changes I made,"

So right now the custom bracketing doesn't work? What I'm seeing now with the custom bracketing is that it it takes the correct number of shots but they all have the same exposure. Does it alter aperture, shutter or iso to bracket? or all of them? as a real estate photographer bracketing is a huge part of what I do it would be great to have these features. The D90 only allows up to 3 frames for bracketing and it only allows one up and one down, I like how yours offers the option of only up or only down. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
No, custom bracketing works.

Only custom bracketing with built-in bracketing does not work (the last button in the custom bracketing row).

It changes the 'Exposure compensation' property.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] supraman215:
HAHA silly me that's why it doesn't work, I'm in M mode so EV+- does nothing! That explains it. I'll have to go to A or S mode.

DslrDashboard V0.26.7_beta

DslrDashboard V0.26.7_beta

Moved the bracketing, sound shooting and time lapse properties into separate dialogs, accessible from the main view

tweaked a bit the dialog colors

reworked a bit the tablet layout

added the 'Flexible program' property that only works when camera in P mode (the last button in the aperture and shutter speed row)

added a test button for sound shooting, it is initially turned on so the sound shooting values can be tweaked without initiating a capture

added a progress bar for sound shooting that displays the current sound value

did some minor changes to the flash dialog

I use a I9300 (ICS4.0.4 with LF2 update) tethered to Nikon D7000

I updated the software to V0.26.7 from 0.26.6 and now every time I attempt to run the software, the GUI displays in the lower part of the screen, says that there is no camera connected.

After a few seconds, it gives an error DslrDashboard has unexpectedly stopped working.

This is before and after a restart of the phone, power recycle of the D7000 etc.

Install 0.26.6 again and it works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Will check the code, it is probably caused by the UI changes I made.

It appears it can not find (or is getting confused) the D7000 and rather than saying no device connected, it just ends.

Unfortunately, there is no error msg, else I would have supplied that in aid of solving the issue.

GNexus doesn't see D90

I've got a Galaxy Nexus running AOKP M6 (ICS 4.0.4) and I can't connect to my D90.

With my OTG cable, I can browse my flash drives and use a wireless mouse with no problem. I see several USB related entries in alogcat when I plug or unplug them so I suspect it isn't my ROM or OTG cable.

I've tried several USB cables with no change in results.

With these USB cables, I can connect to my PC and either download the files, or control the camera (with SMTether 1.5)

Modus M / exposure meter missing

HI,

I was using you app to do some test shootings. Well the UI is no the best but from the function point of view is't nice.

I have one question:

Normaly I am using modus M and with the exposure meter of teh cam to find the correct exposure for shutter speed and aperture.

Actually an exposure meter is missing in the app. Is this something that you are thinking about ?

Bernd
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Can you explain me what do you mean by 'exposure meter' as I'm not sure if I understand it correctly.

In the row where the aperture and shutter speed is displayed in the middle the 'ExposureIndicateStatus' is also displayed and also the 'ExposureDisplayStatus' property.

The first one is: Indicates the display value of the indicator in units of 1/6 EV.

And the second one: Indicates the display status (HI/LO) of the shutter speed and the aperture value.

Not sure if you where referring these properties.

Right now I'm a bit busy at my work and around the house to, so that's why there where no new updates (also I'm looking to buy a tablet so that I can improve the tablet UI - hope to get hold on a Nexus 7 when it's available in Europe as it fits my pocket and needs).

As of the UI, unfortunately as you and the other can see my UI skills are rather low, I was doing some test and was trying to figure out some new UI, but for now without success. I would be happy if someone could help me with some UI concept for the app.

Nice to hear that you are thinking of buying a tablet but be aware of the nexus 7 because it does'nt have USB-host until now. That's the reson why I bought a aniol aurora 2 for around 170,- euro with a working usb-host mode and IPS-display.

It'll be a pleasure to support you by defining a new UI for the app.

Life view not working with D3100. Others seems work fine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] karlkarloff:
Hey, just wanted to mention a nifty thing I'm using your app for this weekend...some friends of mine are getting married and wanted some sort of photobooth so guests could snap a picture of themselves wearing various disguises and such for a big scrapbook to save. I mounted my camera on a tripod, and attached my tablet right under the camera. Using your apps live view feature and a IR remote, people can see what they look like and pose before the picture is taken, then snap the picture without having to get up and worry about sitting back down in time to have their picture taken. With a little instruction sheet I printed off in photoshop, it seems to work like a charm. I set it up at rehearsal dinner tonight and let everyone try it out, just to make sure it would work, and it did great. The only concern I have is if the camera times out and defaults back to regular shutter release mode. Still though, its a lot cheaper than renting an actual photobooth(which is like 200 bucks) and the pictures will be much better quality.

From logcat I don't see that you started the application.

From the dmesg that you posted your camera is properly recognized.

After you plug in your camera in phone USB you should get a dialog offering a list of applications that can handle the USB device (camera).

If you don't get the dialog, you can try start DslrDashboard and inside application press the button with the 'power' icon, that will initiate a search for a PTP USB device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
If the camera supports PTP you can try it, the basic PTP functions should work (aperture, shutter, ISO, image capture) probably also list of the images on camera.

On the image you posted you see the ''ExposureIndicateStatus'', only in application I display the actual value and not graphically.
