It's quite straight forward to detect when this connects to the camera's wifi but a bit slow and takes a while to reset and be ready to trigger the next photo. I had lots of ideas around this, a few of which are shown below One feature I wanted was to be able to take a group selfie with remote shutter release. I'll hopefully get around to making the source available when I get on to the software write up later on. The interface is using the lightweight library from with a few jquery bits for the buttons.

The interface is very simple and consists of four buttons along the top: For demonstration purposes, I'm going to continue and access the interface at 192.168.1.3 At this point I could connect directly to this network and access the web interface at 192.168.0.1 as if I was out and about and using the camera away from home WiFi.

This can be seen when the camera starts returning a ping.Īfter this I scan for available wireless networks, one called 'Camera' is found. As the Pi boots, it first gets the camera running (indicated by the green light), then connects to the WiFi. In the video below, I start by pinging an IP on my home WLAN (192,168.1.3).

This particular model is able to act as a client and station (AP) at the same time. In the last log entry I mentioned the combined Wifi/Bluetooth USB adapter. A feature of the previous model was serving a web page to allow pictures to be taken and stored photos to be reviewed. So far I have described how the camera can be used standalone, using the shutter release button to take a photo.
