I add the ixus40 but IxusDownload can not initialise the camera :-(

Maybe these cameras IXUS40/50/70 have new interface ?!

I've added some cameras in a new package (Canon PowerShot A40, A60, A70, S400), Zeta 1.1 needed.

You can download this package at address : http://bresson.cedric.free.fr/beos/download/IxusDownload_for_Zeta.zip

Could some please combine this program with Gphoto
We Could have access to over 400 cameras instantly.
I having been playing around with it but my computer is having issues with usb.I think the guy called Phillip Houdine could work on this and we would have more camera access in one day.

Also works with Powershot A40

Works with PowerShot A70

Works fine with my Canon PowerShot A70, after adding its ID (0x3073).
One note: the project file should be cleaned a bit, removing non-standard paths (/Be4 ?) and the .h files are not project path-relative, but absolute paths.

I'm not a Dano user myself, but IIRC Dano included a newer version of USB stack API "bus_managers/usb/v3"), but still provides backward compatibility to previous "R5" USB stack API ("bus_managers/usb/v2")

By default, the USB.h include file define the newer API, but if a symbol is there it will define the older one. Look a your /boot/develop/headers/be/drivers/USB.h for symbol name, as I can't remember it...

Oh, BTW, you don't need to compile the whole USBKit, just the usbkit/usb/* content (aka static USBKit.a library). The Dano builtin usb_raw driver should still works fine with USBKit... I hope, at least !

usbkit under Dano

I tried to compile usbkit under dano but it fails in raw source with :


/boot/home/Downloads/usbkit/raw/usb_raw.c:465: error: too many arguments to function


the send_request function from usb.h gives problems. There is the good numbers of parameters so i suppose the problem is gcc (2.9-beos-000224).

Any feedback from dano users ?

I'm glad it works fine.
That's the power of open sourced softwares.
Without source I could not:
- modifiy it to works for ME *first* ;-)
- help others to make it works for THEM...

Thanks for making this tool open sourced.



Success!

You sir are a genious. Not only did you discover how to update this nifty app, but, more significantly, you provided instructions that even I could follow.

It works. It works well. After I recompiled it I fired up the camera and took a few random shots of my dog (who was not impressed). I plugged the USB cable in, frankly not expecting much because pessimism is my nature. Lo and behold, the pictures popped right up.I downloaded them to the desktop and there they were.

I am very pleased. Not being able to use my camera has been a longstanding irritant.

Thanks again. Next payday I shall make a donation to Bebits in your honour.

I'm off now to tell the wife. She's gone to bed because she's bleary eyed from playing BShisen for two hours. What a happy house we have!


Excellent

Thanks.

I'll give that a try tonight. I'm not a programmer, but your instructions seem pretty clear and straightforward. It would be great to get this working because not being able to access my digital camera has been one of the biggest reasons I've had for rebooting to Windows.

Thanks again.

Canon A60 support...

Well, according technical specification available on Canon A60, it support the PTP UBS protocol, so yes ixusdownload should works with it too, if you modify source code that way:

- download the source code package, and expand it
- open ixusdownload.proj
- open cameracommand.h
- add a new line defining the Canon A60 USB device ID:

#define PRODUCT_ID_A60 0x3074

- open cameracommand.cpp
- add a new line in ixus_init() function to support
A60 too:

switch(app->product_id = dev->PoductID())
{
case PRODUCT_ID_S10:
[...]
case PRODUCT_ID_UNKNOW_9:
case PRODUCT_ID_A60: // <-- add this line
- download latest USBKit available from http://www.xs4all.nl/~oce/beos/usbkit.2000.01.15.tgz and expand it somewhere
- open a Terminal :

$ cd /path/to/where_you_expand/usbkit
$ make

- replace ixusdownload missing USBKit.a and USBKit.h files by the ones in usbkit/usb

- recompile ixusdownload
- test
- report here
- take some rest :-)

I'll try to collect data about newest canon models, build a patch against current ixusdownload and send it to his author. Maybe he would like to publish an updated version...

other newer canons?

Does this mean that it might be made to work with other newer Canon digital cameras? I have an a60 that I'd love to get working with BeOS.

Support even latest Canon PowerShot S400 / Digital IXUS 400 model...
 By Philippe Houdoin - Posted on August 7, 2003 - 17:04:17   (#8457)

... if you update the code to support the new USB product ID 0x3075, and recompile.

BTW, thanks for making this clean tool open sourced.
