Can't configure devices?

[SanZamoyski]

Hi!

I can not get it to work, i get this error while using Spreads Wizard (gui):

spread gui

Reconfigured spread multiple times, but still nothing...

Tried as root too. spread configure works fine (even focus), but not with gui.

Does capturing images from the command-line work? Which camera driver are you using with which camera model? Can you try running both the GUI and the CLI with the '--verbose' flag (has to be passed in before the respective subcommand)?

While installing by pip install spread i get some error (reported here, but with no solution: http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17162&sid=426109553a27314dfefeeec07dacdb0b#p17162).

BTW. spread cleared whole directory i've used for project - uncool!

That is most definitely more than uncool, basically the worst thing a program could do :-/ I'm really sorry :cold_sweat:

I think this was caused by a lack of documentation on my part: When you specify a directory for capturing, you should give the full name of the project directory, i.e. spread capture ./my-project. If there are already files in the specified directory and those files/directories are not laid out in the BagIt structure that spreads uses, it will copy them to a temporary path, then remove the old directory and create a new directory with the old files in its place. So in theory all your files should still be in ./, but it could be that this failed since spreads removed the working directory, and then "./" could no longer be resolved. I will probably remove this whole "convert to BagIt structure" functionality completely, it was mainly intended for users of an older version to migrate their projects. I hope you did not lose any important files!

Now, to your main problem: You're installing spreads from the wrong location! The official repository is DIYBookScanner/spreads and not jbaiter/spreads! The latter is a personal fork of mine that is far behind the current codebase.

Please install spreads from the proper repository and then run spread --verbose configure from the command-line and post the output here. That way I can see if your problem starts already with configuration or if it's something else further along in the process.

[SanZamoyski]

I hope you did not lose any important files! me too!

Might it be I made something wrong while running (installing?) chdk on my camera? I'm quite sure it's quite impossible, but...

---

Ok, there might be something wrong with my ptp installation...

[jbaiter]

Those errors you're getting are due to a badly set LUA_PATH variable. Here's the command from the chdkptp documentation: LUA_PATH="/path/to/chdkptp/lua/?.lua" /path/to/chdkptp As for CHDK on your camera, can you see the CHDK logo when starting the camera? Also, can you check on the camera's SD card if there's an OWN.TXT file? If so, what is its content?

[SanZamoyski]

after export LUA_PATH="/usr/local/lib/chdkptp/lua/?.lua" chdkptp works:

san@sammie-mint:/dev/shm > /usr/local/lib/chdkptp/chdkptp
___> quit

while spread, even with LUA_PATH does not:

shouldn't it be easier?

[jbaiter]

Just opening chdkptp won't tell you if CHDK is working on your camera and the computer <-> camera communication is working properly. Please read the chdkptp manual on the relevant commands. Also, please check if your camera boots CHDK properly (i.e. can you see the logo at startup, see my previous answer) and if the OWN.TXT file exists on the SD card (see also my previous answer).

shouldn't it be easier?

Absolutely, but there's a reason the software is still at pre-1.0. Plus, the multitude of cameras and the varying stability of their CHDK implementations will probably ensure that the whole stack will remain 'hacky'/'hobbyisty' for quite a while.

[SanZamoyski]

It definietly works (sorry, forgot to answer Your question - yes, i do see logo):

___> c connected: Canon PowerShot A480, max packet size 64 con> imls Thu Apr 14 14:22:44 2016 2378716 A/DCIM/104CANON/IMG_0005.JPG (...) Tue Apr 19 14:30:04 2016 1493854 A/DCIM/104CANON/IMG_0028.JPG

why doesn't it use this (Yours?) package https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyptpchdk/0.2.1 ?

[SanZamoyski]

And how about this one (while configuring):

spreads.plugin: Finding devices for driver "CHDKCameraDevice" open_camera_dev_usb: ptp_opensession failed 0x2ff Device status OK

You wrote somewhere:

This happens when for some reason the driver loses connection to the camera, it will then try to re-connect up to two times, these are the messages from that from the low-level USB code. Does this break the workflow in your case? Do you have to restart the cameras manually?

And it seems for me that answer is no. There is no problem with connection at all (i belive).

[jbaiter]

Yes, it seems that way.

Also, please check [...] if the OWN.TXT file exists on the SD card (see also my previous answer).

Could you do that please? This file records for which side of the page spread the camera is responsible. It should be created during the configure step.

[SanZamoyski]

Will do! ...but unluckily i've left camera at university - so i'll do it in about 12h... anyway i've been configurint only one camera at the time - is that wrong?

[SanZamoyski]

No such file.

[jbaiter]

anyway i've been configurint only one camera at the time - is that wrong?

Ah, there we go, that's the issue. The software is currently designed for DIYBookScanner-typish scanners, which work with two cameras, one for each side of the page spread. Since you only have one camera, you probably (logically) skipped the "Do you want to set the target page..." part of the configure step. I just committed a change that should allow for single-camera usage, but keep in mind that this is not a use case that was tested, so depending on your choice of interface you could run into a few more issues. I'd recommend the command-line interface, it's the most bare-bones one and should work as-is.

[SanZamoyski]

That might be the case. Today i've configured it for two cameras and it works just fine. Thank You.

[jbaiter]

Thank you, that was definitely a bug in the code!
