The USB cable I have is compatible wiith my Galaxy SII, so I doubt it's the cable (What with an Galaxy SII, Galaxy Note and an Asus Transformer - I am a tad bit spoilt!)

So on my SII the Media Scanner runs and I can see the content of a USBstick.

With the Note, no such luck, despite being on Ice Cream Sandwich. Looks like I'll have to roll back to Gingerbread.

But thanks for your help.

Cheers

Chainfire, the timelapse feature crashed the app tonight with my 5D II. When I clicked on the settings button and select the timelpase feature the timelapse setting screen appeared but crashed instantly.

HDR worked fine for me.

Edit: was using it with Asus Prime.

Update: Working fine now. Not sure what the problem was.

By all accounts, this should be working...

I found a chinese tablet (MID) running 2.3.1, not rooted, BUT it has a built-in OTG via full size USB port and it appears to be functional.

I can:
-use a mouse
-attach a CF reader and it mounts the card
-attach a USB thumb drive and it mounts

I can copy files, watch movies, etc... from the mounted devs,
but when I attach my Canon 7D, nothing happens. DSLR Controller doesn't pop up and when I run it manually, it says it cannot find any compatible device. My 7D firmware is 1.21, a bit old, but I didn't see any firmware notes that address a USB issue. Of course, when I plug my 7D into my PC, it recognizes the camera.

I am so close I can taste the HDR...

Thanks in advance!

Im sure this has already been discussed, but for the sake of not have to scroll through all of the pages, I will ask it.

Can you set auto bracketing for more than 3 bracketed shots?

Tks Cf for this great app.
How's about the zooming function? I couldn't work out how to make it for my 40D.

0.93 - still no better for my 5dII, after focusing the HDR function stops working (with both GT-P7510 and i515, same behaviour).
:-(
I can only say what I experienced with 3 different devices (SII, Note, Tab 7.7): keep the cable short! Since I use a 15cm USB-cable, attached to the short OTG-cable (different ones for phones and tabs), I had not a single crash or hang problem anymore.

If you could let me know an ideal build / ROM / specification, that would really help.
My configuration that works like a charm: RocketROM v22 (GB 2.3 based), Abyss Kernel 4.1 and the Note is the 'ordinary' N7000.


@Chainfire: great updates, great new functions! I love the focus pull ... as long as you use an external mic which is of course not your problem :). I only use prime lenses and they focus quite a few times back and forth with no loss of the stored positions. The only still remaining problem is that darn cable length. I still don't understand why just this connection to the camera is so 'picky' about the USB cable.

Anyway, one little reminder if you don't mind :D: remember what I suggested a few weeks ago regarding the positioning of the focus rectangle? I still find it extremly annoying, that the rectangle is 'jumping' towards & exactly under the finger for moving it. Just leave it where it is and move it relative to the finger movement, no matter where the finger is. That way the finger wouldn't always block the view onto the focuspoint you want to set.

Apart from that, I love the app! End of April I'll finally test it in real life. I'm going to stay a while in Ireland to shoot musicians and I plan to also film a few gigs. It seems that DSLR-Controller will come very handy. The Note on the camera (I built me a holder for the hotshoe) and a BT-mouse and I should be set. I'll report when I'm back. I have a hard time to test something in 'synthetic' environments - there's nothing like the real life to test usability :).

Indeed, it should just work. Try this: turn off the 7D, connect it to the tablet. Turn on the 7D, and within 1 second also start DSLR Controller.

Im sure this has already been discussed, but for the sake of not have to scroll through all of the pages, I will ask it.

Can you set auto bracketing for more than 3 bracketed shots?

If based on the exposure compensation button (this is the one you can also set on your camera), the camera setting is used. For the 5D Mark III this means 3, 5 or 7 shots (2 is not supported by the app). For all other models, 3 is the only option. If you want to use more shots, you need to use the app's HDR/AEB function, which is slower, but supports as many shots as logically possible (i.e. if you base it on shutterspeed, and you have 49 shutterspeeds available, you can do 49 shots).

Tks Cf for this great app.
How's about the zooming function? I couldn't work out how to make it for my 40D.

There's a zoom button at the top-right of the screen. I'm not sure if that works with the VxWorks models, though. (You have a VxWorks model device).

I can only say what I experienced with 3 different devices (SII, Note, Tab 7.7): keep the cable short! Since I use a 15cm USB-cable, attached to the short OTG-cable (different ones for phones and tabs), I had not a single crash or hang problem anymore.

This specific problem has been solved - it was a usage issue, and it will not be possible to trigger the problem you replied to from v0.94 and up.

@Chainfire: great updates, great new functions! I love the focus pull ... as long as you use an external mic which is of course not your problem :). I only use prime lenses and they focus quite a few times back and forth with no loss of the stored positions. The only still remaining problem is that darn cable length. I still don't understand why just this connection to the camera is so 'picky' about the USB cable.

This is still related to your setup... either the USB cable or OTG cable itself, or the USB sockets on your equipment are not connecting right. I test DSLR Controller regularly across about five different EOS models and about the same number of Android devices, and I always use the same 1.5m (4.5ft or so?) cable. This cable came with my 5D Mark III. When not using this cable, I use the cable that came with my 550D, which is the same length. I never have any of these issues you mention.

Anyway, one little reminder if you don't mind :D: remember what I suggested a few weeks ago regarding the positioning of the focus rectangle? I still find it extremly annoying, that the rectangle is 'jumping' towards & exactly under the finger for moving it. Just leave it where it is and move it relative to the finger movement, no matter where the finger is. That way the finger wouldn't always block the view onto the focuspoint you want to set.

I haven't forgotten (it's on the long list of TODOs) but it doesn't have much priority, to be honest. Personally I prefer the current method - but I never drag the focus rectangle. Just tap-and-hold wherever you want the focus to be.

Apart from that, I love the app! End of April I'll finally test it in real life. I'm going to stay a while in Ireland to shoot musicians and I plan to also film a few gigs.

Hah... Just wanted to report, that with this method, I'm able to get DSLR Controller working on my Motorola Atrix phone with CM9 port developed by turl + powered usb adapter + Canon 550d :D It works a little bit unstable, but I was able to take a few shots (also with using timelapse)... it shows some promise :) I'll update my rom to newer version (since the one I have now is over month old), and see if that improves things.


cheers,
Bart ;)

I doubt it, to be honest. This is a level of information and control the camera does not really provide. The non-Canon hardware is more than likely reverse-engineered and doesn't do something the Canon hardware does do (same thing with non-Canon lenses - if you've ever wondered why they don't AF as well as Canon's lenses).

It is unfortunate, but I don't think I can do anything about it. And if I could, first I would have buy both Canon and non-Canon flashes to test it. And while they are on my shopping list - it's not very high on said list.

FYI: with my cheap wireless flash trigger set-up, the flash will not fire while I have liveview on. It took me forever to figure this out, but it could come into play here. I am guessing DSLR Controller will cause a similar issue.

It has crashed a few more times on me when I access timelapse. To try to rule out settings, I turned off the info on the liveview screen (camera settings info) and it did not crash. I submitted a report through the app.

After updating ROM on my Atrix (I'm using this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500535 - quite possible it would run on other ICS ports, but I haven't checked them out), DSLR Controller app, works great!!!
There is this slight problem with launching it - sometime I need to start the app 2-3 times, because just after startup it "connects" with a camera (I can tell, because my Canon makes that sound, as if going into liveview), but then immediately quits with no error. After 2-3 attempts it starts fine though, and then works very stable :) Now I just need to buy a usb battery, to make the whole setup more portable :D (Atrix requires powered usb connection in order to switch into usb host mode... more on this subject here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997187 )

I would be the first to agree! But I have tried to much different gear to agree :). I have 3 different cameras (2x 5DII, 1x 1DmkIV), I have at least 5 different USB-OTG adapter for 3 different Android devices (SII, Note, 7.7) and I use countless different standard USB cables (between camera and OTG adapter), including 2-3 original Canon cables. NO LUCK :)! Only if I keep the total USB length roughly below 1m, better 70cm, I get a 100% flawless operation.

But hey, I started living with it for now. One day it'll hit me with the solution :). Fortunately I don't need a long cable, since I don't really use DSLR Controller as a 'far remote', but a 'remote-not-to-touch-the-camera' with monitor and settings.

I haven't forgotten (it's on the long list of TODOs) but it doesn't have much priority, to be honest. Personally I prefer the current method - but I never drag the focus rectangle. Just tap-and-hold wherever you want the focus to be.
No hurry, but for the tap and hit-right my fingers are even too fat ... or it's the drinking :D. Seriously, I hardly manage to set the rectangle right with a single tap. But as I said, as long as it's not forgotten, no hurry. Thanks for considering it.

First off, thank you for taking the time to reply. Judging by the forum activity, I know you are swamped with stuff.

Unfortunately, though, the trick did not work.

So, I tried it on an HTC Flyer updated OTA to Honeycomb 3.2.1 and when I plugged in the 7D (via remote powered usb hub), I got a "USB device not supported" message. USB thumbdrives will mount, however.

I even updated my 7D to v1.2.5 (latest firmware) thinking that it may be that, but still no joy.

Stumped, but not still not giving up.

@chainfire, is there any way to send crash reports?

When you connect the camera to the device, it should give you a popup allowing you to select DSLR Controller, you don't usually have to start the app manually.

Apologies if I'm missing something, but I can't see how your post relates to mine?

Hi CF, I've got the zoom button there but just used for focusing purpose. I meant how to control the zoom lens attached to my device.
Futhermore, is there any chance to make built-in flash works? I couldn't find way to config then.

remote radio flashes - pixel kings work well

since there have been quite a few folks posting about flashes and remote triggers, just thought I'd share this which works well for me.

Canon 7D
Samsung Galaxy SII with ICS
pixel king radio repeaters (1 transmit and 2 receivers)
canon 270Ex II flash (2 off)
short micro USB to standard usb cable (plugged into phone)
normal mini usb to standard usb cable in camera
USB extender cable to link them
total sub cable length 2.8m (about 8'6")

Only awkward part is that I have to unplug the cable to get at the camera menu to change (A:B:C) flash power. (camera menu button doesn't work if I only exit dslr controller)

Make sure you aren't going into timelapse mode while in "focus mode". The current public version allows this - upcoming version does not. But that could create problems.

Not sure what's going on here. Could well be a connection issue due to your setup.

Yeah your situation is really weird. Do you happen to live inside a nuclear power plant? :) I've had reports of people successfully using pretty long USB extenders, etc. All I can think of is radio interference in your case, but it still shouldn't matter.

The advice I gave you was for the Chinese tablet. DSLR Controller does *not* work on any known HTC hardware. HTC does *not* provide USB host capabilities, not even on their new One series.

Apologies if I'm missing something, but I can't see how your post relates to mine?

It sounded to me like you were manually starting DSLR Controller, while you should receive a popup when you connect the camera that would offer to start DSLR Controller.

Futhermore, is there any chance to make built-in flash works? I couldn't find way to config then.

Re: zoom, that's not technically possible. I'm actually surprised you think it would be. As for flash, make sure silent shooting is turned off.

Thanks for this information.

As for changing flash power, try turning on the camera LCD (you'd also see liveview there) before trying to go into menu. That usually works :)

    In an effort to de-duplicate a lot of information, I have moved the bulk of it to the DSLR Controller website. This thread still remains the place to get support, discuss, and ask questions, though!

    DSLR Controller was the first and remains the best app to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device, through USB cable or Wi-Fi connection. No computer or laptop required, no root required, only a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and if connecting through USB, the right cable.

    We strongly suggest you read up on the website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) about what DSLR Controller can do, how it works, and how to use it, before purchasing. The website contains a wealth of information you should know before using.

    Not all devices are compatible, especially if you want to use a USB connection. For a free app you can use to test compatibility, see the "Remote Release" app ( http://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.remoterelease ). If you need a refund, go to our website ( http://dslrcontroller.com/ ) and follow the instructions in the FAQ entry. We cannot process refunds through email.

    Usage notes, feature lists, device compatibility lists, changelogs, FAQs, can all be found on our website: http://dslrcontroller.com/

    Most questions should go to the support and discussion thread at XDA-Developers.com:

    I am a professional architectural photographer and have adopted your DSLR app into my workflow. Thank you for the great design and amazing functionality. It is a pleasure to work with*.

    I would like to know what the future holds for DSLR Contorller. I noticed you are not very active on this forum (last post on 2/26/2015), but wanted to encourage you to keep on developing because I, We need it!!!

    ...
    .

    DSLR Controller was originally built for Android 2.x years ago, and a lot of things have changed both in the camera world as well as the mobile world. Despite bolting on many improvements, the code shows its age. To take it to the next level and get everything I want into it (customizability, compatibility, portability, speed, etc), a lot of the core needs to be changed, the UI needs to be changed (if not in appearance or functionality then certainly how it's been coded), etc. It pretty much comes down to not just overhauling major parts, but completely redoing it from scratch, and rebuilding it as envisioned from the ground up.

    This brings with it a number of issues. It is a lot of development time (and thus money) investment up front, of which you will see no results, until it is almost done. In the mean time, you can't really release anything that isn't up to par with the current version of DSLR Controller, and you can't just replace the current version as old users/devices may no longer be compatible, stranding paying customers. A lot of additional equipment needs to be gotten and tested with to ensure compatibility and portability (remote and end-user testing isn't really workable with apps like these). Not to mention that DSLRs are pretty much doomed, and this is definitely being reflected in daily sales.

    The past year hasn't been very good on a personal level, which isn't your problem of course, but it is one reason for the lapse in development of certain apps. This one adds to the fact that in light of the above, it feels like a waste of resources to spend a lot of time on improvements in the current app. There have been talks with a team (from a big brand in the camera world) to take over the IP, pretty much solving the resource problem, but ultimately that fell through, after the talks taking up a large part of my time for months.

    Also, I know it seems like DSLR Controller has generated a lot of funds, but spread out over the years its been available, subtracting equipment costs, corporate taxes, wage taxes, etc, you wouldn't be able to hire one(!) half-competent coder for the money left at today's going rates, not to mention the risks involved with hiring people. Even though I do get paid and get all these toys to play with, wanting to build it has always been a large part of this, as there are definitely more profitable ways to spend the time. At the same time having to compete with $300 equipment, and people still complaining about the $8 price.

    This app is also a complete nightmare to support, as by far the bulk of the connection issues are not due to the app itself, but due to camera configuration, phone configuration, hardware incompatibilities, firmware incompatibilities, etc. That is, excepting the case where DSLR Controller just hangs, which sometimes (but definitely not always) is an issue with the app. Not to mention the droves of questions and reported issues by people who simply don't understand how their cameras work.

    All of that being said, I do believe there may be a business case where a rebuild with additional features and support for Nikon and/or Sony and/or (insert other brands here) and other OSs like Linux, iOS, OS X, Windows, etc using a shared core may at least break even. That is, providing I can find competent developers to do it (as there is no way I can pull this off by myself), and finding said competent developers with at least somewhat relevant skills might in fact be the biggest problem to solve. Still, even in the best case scenario, I don't believe any work will get started before end-of-summer.

    Don't mistake the lack of visible activity for lack of interest. What to do with DSLR Controller and how to get there is something I consider every day, as in the end, it's still the app I've enjoyed most developing over the years. But if the solution means spending more resources updating the current app, developing a new one, or investing funds to get a whole new company off the ground with a handful of people to cover both major brands and major OSs - that I don't know yet. But I do hope to have an answer to that sooner rather than later.

    (this post was written in a rush as I need to run for another appointment but I didn't want to leave this unsaid, so if it's jumping here and there and not fully coherent, that's why)

    Hey Chainfire, I was wondering if there was an ETA for the next update? I know asking such things is never liked, Im not looking for a hard date just a rough idea and if there is anything else we can do to help?

    After next week I have three weeks reserved for exclusive DSLR Controller work, if that doesn't finished the upcoming update, I'd be surprised :)

    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?

    Because it's good software and the developer deserves to get paid. Beta doesn't mean it's not valuable, it means that the software isn't very mature or well tested. if you want it now, you pay. If you want to pay once it's well tested and proven then wait.

    Either way, quit your sniveling people. This is an AMAZING deal at that price. If you can afford a DSLR and know how to use it, you can afford 10 times this and would gladly pay it. If you think otherwise, you likely don't need this software to begin with and have nothing to complain about.
