Multi gopro sync #25

We need to start multiple HERO4 cameras at the same time via Wifi

in The "app mode", GoPro generates hotspot for each camera, switching between these hotspots takes multiple seconds.

I was wondering if there is an open source library which allows us to control multiple cams at the same time.

Your best bet would be to use the gopro remote control. I'm not sure if this library can emulate it as I'm only just starting to look into it, but wifi app mode is not what you want if you want to trigger multiple gp at once. Look into gopro rc mode instead.

Thanks a lot!

So I need to control multiple GoPros as well, and looking at the research, It seems like it's possible. I tried a bunch of stuff, and managed to get a GoProHero 5 to connect to my AP spoofing as a smart remote.

How do i proceed? It looks like there is a remote.py, but I cannot find anything on the site.

@bijamin send the commands as normal phone mode.

bijamin commented 6 years ago

@KonradIT Thanks for the quick response. what do you mean normal phone mode? Do you refer to the https://10.5.5.9/... commands?

I used this guide instead as my wireless adapter doesn't play nice with hostapd. (guide)

From the terminal, it seems like the GoPro5 is assigned an IP of 192.168.100.12, pinging that address doesn't work, and of course, the http: commands don't work, (10.5.5.9 or 192.168.100.12).

I've also tried the gopro-py-api, and that doesn't work, since the ip isn't working anyways.

I'm quite sure I'm missing something. Could you provide more details on how to send the commands? Thanks!
