Project news?

[mariobrussi]

I'm interested in your work, have you leaved the project?

Thanks for your answer :)

[hkr]

Have just been busy with other stuff. Just curious, do you have any plans to use the project for anything? :)

[mrosseel]

I'm following this project because I would like to automate the photography of the solar eclipse in the US next summer. Last time I did it with a fully automated canon, would be sad if I have to rent a camera this time! Does this project work in its current state? Or do you think it's not possible to reverse engineer?

[mariobrussi]

Somethink like a new mobile app or a remote control (telegram bot for example) or a web app :)

[hkr]

It's quite straightforward to reverse engineer what the Fuji App can do. I mainly looked at the remote control part of it. Triggering the shutter, querying the current settings and changing some of the settings works in the current state. But there is no documentation, user-friendly application etc.

[mrosseel]

the linenoise directory is empty, is that normal? I'm getting an error:

You are probably missing the linenoise-ng submodule. Try: git submodule update --init --recursive

[martinsnajdr]

I have the same problem like mrosseel. I cloned your repository, build it with cmake, than tried to make install and I got the same error – linenoise.h not found.

Is there any chance you can write a simple guide how to build / install your library on macOS? It would be very cool to build a mobile app using your library, Fuji's app is just horrible.

[hkr]

Fixed the include problems and wrote some minimal instructions. Let me know if you need more help. I'd would be great to see a better iOS app. Which features are you most interested in for the app? As I wrote earlier, I think it should be possible to get all the features of the existing app working.

[martinsnajdr]

Thank you for your quick response and for the update. Well, I have the X100T and I was really excited about the Wi-Fi capability until I installed the official app. It's ugly, but the most annoying thing is that you have to connect everytime you want to switch the functions/features of the app. I'm a webdeveloper / UX designer, so I'm still learning about the low-level programming - so I find your code quite useful. I will try your library for some basic hacking around Fuji's Wi-Fi protocol and maybe turn it into something better than is the Fuji's app, because clearly they don't really care. I will stay in touch.

[mrosseel]

Thanks for the update, everything compiles well now. Is anything special needed regarding wifi? Disable mac wifi connections for instance? Either way it's not connecting to my X-T1 (not showing up on the camera, connect command failing in the tool)

[hkr]

You have to connect your Mac Wifi to the camera's access point. On my camera it's called FUJIFILM-X-T10-1328. Basically the same as using the iOS and Android apps.

Output looks like this here: https://gist.github.com/hkr/be1f5cfed90303c5c1a9b09067fc8f6a

I only have a X-T10 btw, not tried any other Fuji.

[mrosseel]

of course :). Can confirm it works with the X-T1 as well, only tested the shutter command but it worked.

[aaronpearce]

Curious to know the process behind how you've been reverse engineering the protocol? I've attempted it before and failed. Where you reverse engineering the Mac app or the iOS one?

[hkr]

I'm using a rooted Android phone, the Fuji app for Android, tcpdump for Android and Wireshark to look at the dump files. Let me know if you need more details.

[aaronpearce]

Thanks for that. Attempting to root my old Android now (failing miserably). Any chance you can share your original dump files? Would really appreciate it.

[GitHoaxII]

Great attempt here, thank you! However, I am receiving an error when trying to compile (running make) in Linux Shell. Errors and warnings seem to occur in the comm.hpp file. Anyone facing similar issues? Any help would be very much appreciated.

[hkr]

@aaronpearce I still have some dump files but they might contain some of my pictures, so I don't want to just upload them to GitHub. I used a Nexus phone which is easy to root.

[hkr]

@GitHoaxII I made it compile and link on my Debian 8 installation, but your compile error sounds different from what I had. Please post more details if it still does not compile (compiler and version, ...)

Hello, my girlfriend have the X100f this year, she said the official ios app is really hard to use. I'm a iOS developer, and our company have the similar app used for wifi sdcard adapter. So if this project works fine, I would like to spend my personal time develop the new one, to replace the official app :)

[Thanatorial]

Hello, running on arch arm (Rpi). everything compiles fine. the only problem i have is not being able to connect when running your tool(connect failure). i set up my wifi with iwconfig manually. wlan0 interface shows ad-hoc connection established with my x100t. also tried using wpa_supplicant without success. any ideas would be highly appreciated. thx for providing this tool!

[Thanatorial]

Hello, managed to get the connection up. fcwt> connect Connection esatablished 192.168.0.1:55740 (3) [INFO] init_control_connection (socket 3) [INFO] send hello from here i get kicked back into the shell prompt...

[hkr]

Is it crashing? Or the fcwt> prompt?

[Thanatorial]

[xyz@alarmpi build]$ ./tool/fuji_cam_wifi_tool
fcwt> connect Connection esatablished 192.168.0.1:55740 (3) [INFO] init_control_connection (socket 3) [INFO] send hello [xyz@alarmpi build]$ [xyz@alarmpi build]$ ./tool/fuji_cam_wifi_tool fcwt> set_iso fcwt> aperture fcwt> shutter failure fcwt>

[hkr]

Looks like it's crashing during connect. You could try to use a debugger to get a callstack. Or add some more logging. I have done very little testing on Linux.
