MR3040 doesn't recognize camera (Canon 5D2, 5D3, Nikon D300s

I've loaded DSLRDashboard (30.30.9) onto my Asus MemoPad 10 and can use an OTG adapter to connect to any of the three cameras Canon 5D2, Canon 5D3, or Nikon D300s. However, when I try to connect via the MR3040 (v. 2) flashed with openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin although the Asus will connect to the router, the camera doesn't get identified. I checked the processes list and ddserver is running. It appears from the system messages that the camera doesn't get recognized by the router (the error I get, if I get any message at all, is "Unable to connect: IO Exception Host 192.168.1.1) I've changed USB cables (although the initial cable worked fine direct-connecting via USB OTG) and flashed the firmware over with the "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" version, to no avail. I'm getting them from the code.google.com/p/dslrdashboard/downloads/list site.

My step-by-step procedure for connecting:

turn on router

Turn on tablet

Connect tablet to WiFi network "DSLRDash"

Turn on camera

Connect camera to MR3040

Launch DSLRDashboard.

"click" on Connect to OpenWRT/Linux" button.

What am I missing/doing wrong? It appears that others have got the same hardware talking successfully. This is important to me because we are looking for something that supports Nikon DSLRs, and DSLR Dashboard appears to be the only game in town other than CamRanger.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Probably the problem is that you are using an old version of DslrDashboard.

The current version is V0.30.33 (the one that is published on Google Play)

and the current version of ddserver OpenWrt firmware is 0.12

You can also download the latest version from my Drive share: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxMZ8XY3H2wiNmtrS0FtLTJxR1E&usp=sharing

The current DslrDashboard version is here: https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0BxMZ8XY3H2wiNmtrS0FtLTJxR1E

The current ddserver OpenWrt firmware for MR3040 are here: https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0BxMZ8XY3H2wiNmtrS0FtLTJxR1E

Upgrading the MR3040 firmware with latest:

Use the 'sysupgrade' image. Download the 'sysupgrade' .bin file that is matching your MR3040 version (V1, V2).

Connect the MR3040 with network cable to your PC or laptop (can be done with wireless to, but in my experience it's safer with network cable) .

Access the OpenWrt web interface ( http://192.168.1.1 by default)

Go to 'System->Backup/Flash image'

Press the 'Perform reset' button (this will reset OpenWrt to it's initial state and reboot the MR3040)

Once it reboots go to again in 'System->Backup/Flash image'

Under 'Flash new image' uncheck the 'Keep settings' checkbox

Select the 'sysupgrade' image that you downloaded.

Press the 'Flash image' button. (this will upload the firmware to MR3040)

Press again the button to perform the flash.

Wait 2-3 minutes, the MR3040 will reboot.

Be sure that the MR3040 battery is full.

After that you can access it again with http://192.168.1.1

The wireless is enabled by default, the SSID is 'DDServerAP'

Note that V0.30.33 will only work with the latest V0.12 ddserver.

Question

Hi, firstly let me say this is an awesome app.

I'm using this with a D3200 and the wu-1a and I have a question about focusing in live view. It works fine to focus when i tap the screen, however I am unable to move the focus point away from the center of the screen. Is this a incompatibility issue with the D3200?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yes I'm aware of this, but couldn't find a solution for it yet.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lucianu:
is d40 suported to work with this software?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yes it is.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j9murphy:
Has anyone tried running this under Bluestacks on a PC and a wireless connection to the camera?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SteveH0773:
Hi,

I use DSLR dashboard on a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) and connect to a D7100 over the wireless wu-1a. I have the review checkboxes cleared in the options, but after each capture, the RAW files are on my phone and removed from the camera... Is there a way to leave the RAW files on the camera and not delete them?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
If the capture destination is the Android device the files will be transfered to Android device.

If the capture button is red the capture destination is the Android device.

If the capture button is white the capture destination is the camera sd card.

To change the capture destination long press the capture button.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SteveH0773:
Brilliant, thanks Thehabos!!

I love the app, the only downside is the limited range of the WU-1a, but I know you can't do anything about that one!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sentriel:
Thank you for making this awesome app, I enjoy using it a lot.

I think that I've found a bug with long exposures in bulb mode, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I thought that I best let you know either way.

In bulb mode, I press the capture button and input the time I want, e.g. 45 s. I then start the capture and can hear that the camera is responding correctly.

The trouble is that it fails to stop the shot. The countdown timer stops somewhere between 0 and 1 s.

I have found a workaround, and that is to enable live view. Then the above steps works perfectly. Also, non-bulb shooting works perfectly.

Phone: Nexus 5

Camera: Nikon D600

Connection between phone and camera: cable.

Again, thanks for a great app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RunnyYolk:
Firstly, thank you for making such an awesome app!!!

I'm trying to get the LRTimelapse help screen to work, but it's not behaving as I expect. I start a time lapse going with DSLR Dashboard's intervalometer, and then go to the LRTL help screen and check 'Display JPG for next capture'. But the image doesn't appear. The camera is taking exposures as it should, but they don't show up in this screen and 'Display JPG for next capture' stays checked. If I then check 'Auto Holy Grail', I get a warning that the 'Slowest shutter speed is the same as current shutter speed.' I press OK, and then it says 'You must first capture a JPG image to have a reference point'. - Of course, because it hasn't taken a JPG.

If I press the 'Set reference now' button lower down on the screen, it will let me select 'Auto Holy Grail', but then nothing seems to change if the images start to become over or under exposed, so it seems like this isn't working properly either. There are two buttons for 'Reference area', but I don't understand what they do - one is just a white square, and one is a square with a bin inside it.

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note 2, with a Nikon D5200 and USB OTG and DSLR Dashboard 0.30.33

Any help or suggestions will be gratefully received! :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Soon there will be a test version with fixes for the LRT module.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Will check this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Actually I tested with D7100 and worked. Tested with 55s.

Can you try to start bulb without settings the time, just press the OK button with 00:00:00:000 time and then after some time press the capture button to stop the bulb shooting.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sentriel:
I will give it a try when I get off work today.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Please check this test version

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMZ8XY3H2wiTmlwYzh4Nm5MbnM/edit?usp=sharing
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sentriel:
I can start the bulb without setting the time. It stops correctly when I press the capture button.

Actually, this time around, everything works perfectly. I cannot reproduce the bug I posted before. Strange, but I'm happy with the outcome.

So, I'm sorry to have waisted your time. And keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
You didn't wasted my time.

Btw you can try the test version I posted in the previous message, it has some small fixes.

It is possible to implement something like the Olympus Livetime/Livebulb function?

http://www.ephotozine.com/article/olympus-livetime---best-new-technology-2012-20754

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Unfortunately not. There is no way to get a preview while the camera is doing the capture.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RunnyYolk:
Thanks Zoltan! I've tried this test version, but I have the same issues. The only difference I noticed is that I'm prompted to set RAW+JPG before going in LRTL Help, whereas before it would change it for me when I checked 'Display JPG for next capture'.

Do you want me to make a list of other bugs I notice? I'm happy to if it's helpful for you.

Thanks again for all the time you must have spent on this!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Yes you need to set the image format/compression to RAW+JPG. DD uses the JPG image to analyze it (faster then to download the RAW image).

When you first enter the LRT screen, the 'Display next JPG' should be checked and you need to make a capture with the camera capture button.

DD will download the JPG image and it will analyze and display it.

After this you should set the slowest shutter speed and the max ISO and the reference point that will be used for shutter/iso adjustment.

Now you can enable the 'Auto holy grail' and start the timelapse.

I would suggest that u use an external intervalometer, but DD should also work (I need to check this as I only tested with external one)

>>Do you want me to make a list of other bugs I notice? I'm happy to if it's helpful for you.

Yes please.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcribe:
Even without the preview, like a batch?

The user can set the number of shots, the min and max exposure and the app calculates the interval between them (or the user set them manually).

For example: 8 shots, min 0.5s, max 60s. The app will calculate the exposures: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, and 60s.

This mode is quite useful for landscape photographers who are photographing a scene requiring multiple exposures (for example 0.5s, 8s and 15s) to composite a final image in Adobe Photoshop.

Thanks!

PS.: please, sorry my bad English...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
What you are describing is already available as custom bracketing.

You set the starting shutter speed, set the under/over exposure count and the EV step and the application will calculate the shutter speeds and make the captures.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcribe:
Ops...

Sorry... I didn't know about this feature :silly:

I will try it...

Thank you very much!

Cross platform DslrDashboard

Released the cross platform DslrDashboard first beta version.

More info at: http://dslrdashboard.info
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sansillusion:
What is qdslrDashboard supposed to do ? I installed it on my android but it crashes when i click the wifi icon.

I tough it could be a update to dslrDashboard but it seems different. Is it supposed to work with nikon d3200 with wu-1a?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
As stated here: http://dslrdashboard.info/?page_id=2

it is a cross platform application for controlling Nikon and Canon DSLR.

What tablet do you have?

Yes it should work with Nikon WU-1a/1b/D5300
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sansillusion:
I dont have a tablet I have a nexus4.

Dslrdashboard works but has some ui issues. Qdslrdashboard does not seem to work or it's ui issues thats preventing me from using it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
It does not start at all? Can you maybe send me a logcat ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sansillusion:
It does start it does not list my camera, and if I tap the wifi icon it crashes, I will send a logcat tonight when I get home.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RunnyYolk:
Hi again!

Thanks for the help with the LRTL module!

Just a couple of other things: is it possible to have the audio from the camera's mic outputted to DSLRDB? At the moment it just uses the audio signal from my phone's mic. I'd love to be able to use my phone's headphone socket to hear my camera's mic, since my camers doesn't have a headphone socket itself.

Also, in LV the slider at the bottom doesn't do anything- is it meant to change the focus? That would be very useful!

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
There is no way of getting the audio from the camera. Only the audio level can be acquired and that is already done in qDslrDashboard ( http://dslrdashboard.info/live_view/ under 4 )

They do change the focus but will only work if the live view focus mode is set ot AF-S.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RunnyYolk:
Wow. Quick response, thanks! Shame about the audio, one of the few drawbacks about this camera is the lack of audio out.

I got the focus buttons to work, but the slider still doesn't work for me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
The slider only controls the focus step, higher value larger step.

Two android devices+D90+DSLR_Dashboard

Hi,

First of all, thanks so much for this wonderful app! I'd like to use this to wirelessly control my Nikon D90. However, I haven't been able to do that yet.

Aim

I want to wirelessly control the camera using one of the two android devices. But let's assume I don't have any wifi network (say I am outdoor or at a campsite). I saw a thread (on google code for DSLRDashboard, Issue 26 "How do we set up network", sorry it won't let me post the link) and was motivated to try it out myself.

What I have:

Nexux 7 (2013)

Note 2

D90

USB OTG cable

What I did

Connect Note 2 to the camera using the USB OTB cable.

On Nexus 7, I started the Portable Wi-fi hotspot (say AndroidAP is the network SSID).

Then connect Note 2 to that wifi network (AndroidAP).

Start the camera, and DSLR Dashboard opens. I can control the camera from Note 2 screen.

Go back to Nexus 7, click "Start Server". The app says "Sever listing on 192.168.1.1:4757"

On Note 2, I click "Connect to server", and enter 192.168.1.1 as the IP address.

Nothing happens on Nexus 7. I can't control the camera from Nexus 7.

I tried different IP address (change on Nexus 7, and then enter the changed IP address on Note 2), but it won't work.

Do you think it is possible to use two android devices to control the camera wirelessly?

Thanks so much,

-KK

Hi, really great app.

I have D3200 and it's not possible to start video recording when connected. Can it be solved or it's compatibility issue?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Tested this with SG2 and Nexus7. Hotspot was on SG2 and started DD on it with 'start server'. The IP was reported '0,0,0,0'

Connected the Nexus7 wifi with the SG2 and check the IP after the connection was made (it was 192.168.43.x so I assumed the server is on 192.168.43.1)

Connected the DSLR with USB to Nexus7, DD started and then I select the 'Connect to server' button and entered the 192.168.43.1 IP and it worked.

You may try the new qDslrDashboard (http://dslrdashboard.info) that should have automatic discovery of server on another device)

As noted here http://dslrdashboard.info/application-settings/ under 5. you enable connection sharing on device that has the camera connected and on another device you press the the network button (number 2 at http://dslrdashboard.info/connection-screen-buttons/ )
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
It is not a compatibility issue.

The D3200 is a budget DSLR with limited set of PTP commands. And if you don't have the movie recording button that means it does not have that functionality while connected with USB and in PTP mode.

Hello,

I dont know why, but it doesn't work on my Nikon D5300 via Wifi with mi HTC One....

Anyony knows how to make it works?

Thank you....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Pair your HTC wifi with the D5300 wireless.

Start DslrDashboard and press the 'Connect to WU-1a/1b' button

If you have the Nikon WMU application then exit it or uninstall it as DD can't establish the connection if the WMU is connected to camera

just tried MR3040 with dslardashboard and qdashboard apps (both works). apparently I realized to work with NIkon, (mine was D3s), struggled whole night to try which firmware or apk version to use before resolving to DDserver openwrt firmware (which works eventually

Slow but usable in LV mode. Can control everything. Camera will be fixed in PC mode. Everything controlled from android device. But is this suppose to be the right way?

realized too, that I cannot use this method to shoot and relay the image to the android device which camranger does. But its a give and take.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kokyaw:
Thanks a lot! It works!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
The live view is not slow here at all. While in live view you can initiate a capture from camera on Nikon. Not sure what you mean with the 'right way'?

Not sure what you mean with this but you can review the captured image after capture (JPG and RAW) to.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] akagi07@hotmail.com:
My D3s turned into PC mode. Camera LV auto switched off. All controls and display only via android device.

I know. Via the android device. But my camera got into PC mode after connecting the 3040, I cannot trigger shutter from the camera directly anymore. This is not tethering. Its rather a wireless android remote for Nikon.

Not sure if anyone else from Nikon experienced it.

Hello, Looks like a brilliant app. Great job:good:!! I would like to ask if you plan to add full support for Nikon COOLPIX A. Connection with the camera works. My phone detects it correctly, but the camera lens is inserted.

The camera is in the mode transfer and view images, that can be downloaded to the phone. If I switch to live view, the camera lens is ejected, but unfortunately at the moment the application crashes:crying:.

mi phone is Xiaomi Mi2S.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iounas:
Great app. Works good with s3 + D3200. Mainly use it for exposure bracketing as camera doesn't have that option.

Is it technically possible to have it shoot as fast as it can to camera buffer and then camera writes to its sd card like it would normally do, instead of shooting, waiting for camera write to sd, and so on?

Non pro sd cards like mine can be quite slow, can take 20sec for 5 pics.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Unfortunately isn't possible, the application can't start a new capture until the camera finishes the started one.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Focus peaking is already implemented, it could be found under LV filters.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
When you start live view on Nikon DSLR from the application (tethering) the camera controls are disabled by the camera.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iounas:
Shame. Do you or anybody else know how much faster it gets with a fast sd 60mb/s write with 20mb raws? Will it literally shoot picture after picture or is there some other overhead?

You know what would be useful: volume buttons as capture button for shooting without looking at the app. Some other apps have that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iounas:
There is a minor bug when bracketing:

shooting 0 out of 5

shooting 1 out of 5

shooting 2 out of 5

shooting 3 out of 5

shooting 4 out of 5

Profile Usage

I love this app. Even more now that I have discovered the Profile button.

I have two questions...

1. Is it possible to view a Profile as text - eg a list of settings with values?

2. I notice that a profile saved from my D7100 is visible to my D7000 - are the Profiles compatible between cameras?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thehabos:
Profiles between DSLR from same manufacturer should work. So D7100 profile should work with D7000. If the DSLR does not have the property that is in the profile it will be not loaded.

Thanks, and is it possible to view the Profile values, via DSLRDashboard or by exporting them?

Thanks and some questions

hello,

nice app, we tested with various cameras and it works quite stable.

as we are interested in the subject and try to make an android app ( non commercial ),

we would be interested to know which relation this apk

has with the GPL project "DLSR dashboard"

that is on google code and

that is mentionned in google play page :

this latest project seems stucked on version 0.30.6 and, alas,

it doesn't work so well, at least not with Canon cameras,

so, is there any hope that the source of 0.30.28 could be

made accessible for studying or maybe you could indicate us

what major changes were made between these versions,

any major changes in the PTP protocol?

thanks for putting us on the right track

and maybe share some code,

of course, we would be up for publicity

and reward for this.

regards,

Does not work with S3 + D3300.

I've tried with Wu-1a and USB cable. It connects, recognizes D3300, but when i select live view the app crashes on both Wi-Fi and USB connection. I saw that Nikon updated their WMU app for the D3300 to be avaliable. Maybe that's the problem?

EDIT: The connection with Wu-1a isn't smooth. It takes 5-6 times to establish it but then the above mentioned problem comes. I have D3300 only so cannot try it with any other. If you need something from me to make it work with 3300 just say. I love your app but it's a shame I can't give it a proper run.
