Continuous lock-up issue #85

Closed goudarziha closed 6 years ago

goudarziha commented 8 years ago

I can only change the config settings for a Cannon T5i only a few number of times before I get the -110 ( camera lockup code) Where it would require me to start the camera in order to change any other settings. I am currently changing one setting at a time, but is there any other more efficient way to escape this error from having to restart the camera over and over again?

Thanks.

Does it work with command line gphoto2?

lwille commented 6 years ago

After countless hours I didn't find a way out of the -110 state.

Back in the days, my solution was to use USB-controllable power switch (that was part of my setup anyway) to power cycle the camera's AC adaptor. Today I'd use a Raspberry Pi's GPIO pin and a triac/solid state relay to interrupt the 5V DC power of the camera, as I'd use a Pi Zero to control the camera.

Alternatively try to dump and load the settings with gphoto2. If it doesn't expose this behavior, it might be worth to debug it to see what they're doing differently.

I'm closing this due to lack of feedback and age of the issue. It's likely a wontfix unless someone has mad debugging skills.
