INDI DSLRs FAQ

Replied by Jasem Mutlaq on topic INDI DSLRs FAQ

Hello Robert,

The process is more involved than that. Edit line 1579 in gphoto_driver.cpp and change it to something like this:
index = gp_port_info_list_lookup_path(portinfolist, "ip:192.168.1.12");

or make that "ptpip:192.168.1.12" .. then compile and install. Then run the indi_gphoto_ccd driver and put a break point at that link (#1579) and press Connect in the driver. It should take you there. See if the rest of the code works fine or if returns any error.

If it is indeed as simple as this, then we can add an IP address property to the driver and if non-empty then we use it there.

Hello fellow community :)

I know this is an old thread, but I just landed here searching for my problem.

If anyone is having problems taking images with a Nikon Z-series, and restarting everything does not help, there is a nice little detail about the mirrorless Nikons. When you unplug the power while the camera is on, the camera closes the mechanical front curtain (I have an external power-supply instead of the battery). The front curtain stays closed after the next power-on until you manually press the release button on the camera. While the mechanical shutter is closed the camera will not take any pictures or open the front curtain from software commands. You only recognize this in EKOS from capture errors and permanent retries.

A nice side effect is, that you protect your sensor from dust when you unplug the power after an imaging session :)

Replied by Greg on topic Ekos cannot detect DSLR Nikon when using a USB over IP device BELKIN F5L049ea

I control my DSLR D7000 with my Macbook
My macbook is at home
My telescope outside.
I use a Belkin Home Base F5L049ea to connect SUB over IP my devices (DSLR + Mount)
I telescope is a Celestron C8 AS-GT.
I tried to used Ekos to capture :
- it works when DSLR is directly connected on USB of my Mac.
But it doesn’t work when I used my BELKIN USB over IP.
I tried with Smart Shooter 4 (in Trial). It works well.
By the way, Ekos works fine to control my Celestron C8 AS-GT mount.

I don’t know why it is not working on Ekos.
Do you use USB over IP with DSLR ? do you have to choose a special configuration for DSLR when using a device USB over IP between computer and DSLR ?

<strong>Hi Robert, Jasem

I pulled the code for the libgphoto2 (lumix) library and indi gphoto driver a few months ago, and after some learning (!) and a few modifications to both, I now have ekos/indi working with my Lumix GF7.
I'm running indi on a raspberry pi 4, and I can stream the live view, capture images in both raw and jpeg with my camera connected to my wifi lan.

Thanks for a great effort in pulling all this together!

I still have a couple of bugs to iron out before I commit the code, but I thought I would let you know in case someone else is working on this too.

The changes will need to be in both libgphoto2 and indi gphoto driver for this to work, and this is the first time I've committed anything to either of these projects so please let me know if there's anything I should be aware of.

Thanks
Mike</strong>

Chiming in to attempt to learn/understand a bit better. I'm both a Nikon full frame and Panasonic owner. I have both a GH4 and GH5s. I've been experimenting with the GH4 directly attached to to a Pi running ekos using gphoto. Much of this works on the GH4 but all that functions on the GH5s is firing the shutter which I assume is a fairly generic bit of functionality. I see there has been some development work on getting the Panasonic cameras functioning over wifi which is where I'm a bit confused. Why wifi? Isn't it much more straightforward to connect the cameras via USB as apparently. Is there something specific about the functionality of the GH5s that prevents it being supported via USB in gphoto? Could someone possibly clear up my confusion here and set me straight? I'd really like to use my M4/3 cameras to get a little extra focal length on my widefield scopes. The Nikon full frames are great but I'd just like the extra flexibility of using both.

The Lumix GF series cameras don't support USB tethering, as far as I know. Later models have WiFI for use with a smartphone App and cloud services.
Sorry I can't help with your GH5s question.

Ah, wasn't aware of that - makes sense. Anyone wanna work together or seeing if we can get the GH5s working in gphoto? I have a coding background and would be happy to use my camera for testing/development.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to connect my canon 650d to ekos, using the canon dslr indi drivers (i try gphoto driver too), but the only thing I get is that the camera is recognized but the connection remains with the yellow icon. if I try to specify a port in the right box and apply, nothing is entered in the left box.
If I try to take a photo with gphoto2 from command line it does it without problems.
I tried changing cables, changing ports, updating everything, removing auto-mount from the OS, but nothing.
My OS version is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS installed in an eeepc 1000h

In the ekos log file the only lines that refer to the canon are these:

Hello,
I am new to Indi and Ekos, I am running KStars/Ekos on a Raspberry Pi4 and it's working all well with my Canon 6D mk2. The only annoying thing is that all the pictures are taken with the rotation of the camera, I would like to have always in landscape mode, horizontally, without any rotation, for stacking purposes. The camera have that option, autorotate, and I have it off when I do astrophotography using an intervalometer.
WIth Ekos and Indi and i cant figure it out how to stop this, Yesterday the first pictures taken were in landscape mode, but during the shooting and due to the rotation of the mount the camera got "vertical" and the pictures changed to portrait.
I went through all the settings in the INDI control panel of the Canon 6D mk2 and can't find what to change. There is an option WCS that is enabled, I turned it off, but when i run another shooting sequence it goes back to enable.
What can i do to solve this?
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Ricardo Pedrosa
