unable to use the wifi commands

[aster94]

Details:

• GoPro Camera(s): hero 3+ silver
• Firmware Version: 3.10.03.02 wifi version: 4.0.36.1
• Steps to reproduce: using a esp01
• Happens every time? [Y/N]:y my password is password

Problem: i tried to control my gopro with esp8266 (esp01) using a serial-ttl converter i sent:

AT+CWMODE=1
AT+CWJAP="Saiken-GoPro","password" 
AT+CIPMUX=0
AT+CIPSTART="TCP","10.5.5.9",8080

until here all works ok, now i should send the request

AT+CIPSEND=53
http://10.5.5.9/bacpac/SH?t=password&p=%01 HTTP/1.0

nothing happens i tried: 1 to turn it on or off, control the shutter 2 change bacpac to camera 3 put a "GET " before the request 4 change "HTTP/1.0" to "HTTP/1.1" 5 don't put the final " HTTP/1.0" 6 change the lenght of the request

nothing worked, is i possible that the last version ( 2 september 2015 as stated here: https://gopro.com/update/hero3_plus) of the wifi firmware changed the commands?

is any simple way to "see" which commands use the gopro app in my phone? from the gopro app on my android phone it works ok

is your password "password"? then is should work. try to ping 10.5.5.9

konrad, i have to admit that my knowledge about "internet" are not so good i pinged the addres of the gopro, i run on ubuntu 16.04

ping -c1 10.5.5.9

hola konrad, it looks like that i was using the wrong port: i read somewhere in a forum that the gopro hero3+ uses 8080, but really to use the wifi commands you should use 80

by the way while i was investigation this i make a library in C/C++ which will support a lot of MCU: all arduino compatibles boards (+wifi module) and esp8266 boards, probably also the esp32. I plan to add more cameras in the future

you may be interested to add this to your list of 3rd party libraries since you don't have any which run on microcontrollers

i completely forgot to put a link to the library https://github.com/aster94/GoProControl and a video if you want to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuM-ZQ2tMW0
