* I am starting to run out of ideas. | |||
**One was to connect the camera to the printer wirelessly, but the printer does not have a USB port | |||
**Another would be to try to connect Ant's laptop to the camera ad-hoc | |||
***Maybe I will try this, I could change ant's password and just safely log him out | |||
*I am able to get Ant's laptop to create a computer to computer network to talk to the camera | |||
**To test it, I disconnect the laptop from the Kochlab server and ask the camera to connect to the p2p network | |||
***When it tries to connect, it makes the laptop connect as well | |||
***I am certain there is a connection between the two, but I still get the failed 5 message | |||
*Yay for Google, i searched the conenction 5 problem and found that all you need is a patch to fix it | |||
**[http://www.findmysoft.com/drivers/download-Canon-ZoomBrowser-EX-Updater-5-8b--driver.html download it here] | |||
*It works just fine on Larry's computer, about to try it with the laptop | |||
*The refurb'd camera now has a setting to connect to Larry's comp and to Ant's laptop | |||
**As of right now, Larry's will dump to the C: Drive | |||
***Koch wants us to be able to dump directly into the server | |||
====Networking==== | |||
* I have setup both Larry's and Ant's computers to display the Z: drive (//controller/pub) and the new Y: drive (//controller/pub/,dropzone/wireless camera) | |||
*From here, I will ask the camera to dump photos straight into the Y drive | |||
**Your photos should be in a folder marked with the date the photo was taken | |||
*hmmm...it seems that the software will not recognize the mapped drives when looking for a place to dump the photos | |||
*Ok, this is how the camera works | |||
**Turn on, connect to the proper computer | |||
***''Note: It may take a few tries, if it fails and gives you the error 5, just try again | |||
**When you get in, a popup window will appear. | |||
**For remote shooting, pick the last tab "Remote Shooting" | |||
**When you do this, it will ask you where to dump the photos | |||
**''Note: it takes it about 10s to take the photo and transfer it to the computer | |||
*Koch showed me "sync toy 2.0". It would be easy just to have it take all the photos we took and dump them into the server | |||
**Sync Toy works when you are connected to the server, but sync toy does not carry over user-wise, so each user needs to set it up manually (in this case, Larry's sync toy should be set for the desktop) | |||
*The other thing to try would be to setup the server to accept photos, eliminating the middle man | |||
**Problems here include security issues and that it would be hard to remotely take a photo | |||
*Another thing to look into is to make sure we can have both cams running at the same time | |||
**Hey! I was able to get both cams running, one on Larry's desktop and the other on Ant's Laptop! | |||
**Maybe it's just me but I think that with both cams running the live feed is a bit laggy (could be possible since we share the same router) | |||
*Currently trying to install the software onto the server, that way the server can just dump photos right to...well... the server | |||
**Ok, so it did the same thing here that it did on Larry's computer. The Photostich program froze in the middle of the installation and I am going to have to abort it | |||
*hmmm...i got a message saying the OS on the server isnt good enough for wireless capabilities | |||
**It doesnt seem that the server wants to communicate with the camera | |||
***Perhaps a good ol fashioned restart is in order, but I dont really want to do that in the fear and destroy something. Perhaps Dr Koch can safely restart it sometime tonite in the wee-hours of the morning? | |||
