Great video thank you. Very easy to follow. One error I had, not covered in this video was when testing the script in Octolapse "script failed, please see log file". In the pi I had to make the scripts Executable. If you type "ls -all" to view all scripts, the take-snapshot.sh script read "-rwxr-xr--". I used the command "chmod +x take-snapshot.sh " to make the script executable. Viewing the scripts again with "ls -all" now shows "-rwxr-xr-x" showing the script is now executable. The script test in Octolapse now works. Hope this helps anyone getting script errors.

I'm having a problem! my camera and octolapse all appear to be working properly but after each photo is taken, I don't see it in the SD card. is it being deleted or downloaded to somewhere else?

@ModernHobbyist 4 года назад

I ran into this issue a few times, but I can't exactly remember the solution that I found. I think I tried re-formatting the card and completely wiping it and that worked, but again, I'm not 100% sure. Let me know if that worked for you!

@ScottYuJan 4 года назад

Modern Hobbyist i solved it! i actually ended up finding another code online for saving on SD card that’s not only faster (delays the pause time for the photo to be taken and saved) but also checks if your camera is connected before a print starts and cancels print start if it doesn’t detect the camera.

@ModernHobbyist 4 года назад

@ModernHobbyist 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing some tips!

@rbid 2 года назад

Just a tip: with a Nikon D7100, when you want to capture photos on the memory card, you need to change the settings with gphoto2: gphoto2 --set-config-value /main/settings/capturetarget="Memory card" Otherwise it is stored in the internal memory which is small and gets erased when you turn off the camera. The best is first to check which configurations the camera has by running: gphoto2 --list-config | grep target Greetings from the Galilee.

@thenamelessone123 Год назад

I'm trying to go through this again and I'm so close! Unfortunately the camera (Canon EOS 2000D) is (seemingly, it makes the shutter noise) taking the snapshots but it's not reducing the number of photos on the camera and they're not there when I check the SD card afterwards! Using SSH it took the photo onto the SD card and the script on Octolapse says it's successful so no idea why it's not actually taking the photo! Any ideas? I've tried reformatting the SD card btw, no change

I can even take a snapshot via SSH using 'gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download' But when I try to take a snapshot in octoprint or use the camera for an octolapse it says "The 'Canon - Snapshot Camera Script' raised an exception. See plugin_octolapse.log for details." The details in the logfile are not very helpful but say something about a render error...

@dank4664 2 года назад

Hey, I love this man! Got a new sub! But how do I make it so I can preview the camera?

@ModernHobbyist 2 года назад

Thanks for the Sub! If you're using OctoLapse on a Raspberry PI like I am, then I believe you can use the version of the script that downloads the image preview to the Pi found here: github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/V0.4---Configuring-a-DSLR In my experience, this was way slower than simply saving the images to the SD card and building the timelapse myself in post, but if you'd like a preview, I think this is how to do it. Otherwise, if your camera supports it, you could view the images wirelessly using the accompanying app, assuming there is one for your camera. Hope that helps!

Is gphoto2 required for this setup to work or does it just make the timelapse? Without gphoto2 would the camera still take pictures which I then can edit myself or would it simply not work?

As I understand it, gphoto2 is the bridge that allows OctoLapse to communicate to your camera so it is likely required unless you find a way around it. Hope that helps!

When i take a snapshot that saves directly to my dslr sd card, there is always a 4-5 second delay before the print head continues to move again even though i have 0 snapshot delay and 200ms snapshot timeout in octolapse. Do you know what might cause this long pause after the snapshot?

@ModernHobbyist 2 года назад

To me, that sounds like it is downloading the snapshot to the Pi. If you have disabled the download but it's still slow, deferring the download til the end of the print may be an alternative route: github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/DSLR-with-Deferred-Image-Download Hope that helps!

if octolapse doesn't recognize my dslr camera can i use the direct gcode of octolapse with cure? I have the sony dslr timelapse app and I just need the print gcode made by the slicer and octolapse. because the problem is when it makes the journey that leaves threads in the print, able to heal and octolapse use the gcode where it says to retract filament at that moment

@ModernHobbyist 4 года назад

I've had some issues with stringing as well while creating timelapses, but the best solution I found was to increase the travel speed of the printhead while not printing. This helped to get it away from the part quicker and back to it quicker so less filament could ooze. Also, finding ways to speed up the snapshot helped.

@janezhitori6203 2 года назад

Hey, I know this is an old video, but do you maybe know any workaround to make cameras like Panasonic G85/G80 to work with Gphoto2 wireless? Since this camera can't be controlled via USB although it's recognised with gphoto2 auto detect command.

@ModernHobbyist 2 года назад

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a simple solution to that issue. There was something in the GPhoto2 docs about using linux to delete the Mass Storage Kernel currently on the camera to overwrite it with something else, but they don't recommend it, nor do they go into much detail on how to do it. You could try to change the script to send a voltage to one of the GPIO pins on the pi that in turn triggers the shutter release on your camera via the remote shutter input, but I'm not familiar with your camera's circuitry. I did try something similar to that in this video, it might give you some inspiration: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N1YKv7KU4UQ.html.

thank you for the video. i just started using octolapse with my t7i. Could you offer some tips on focusing, like how you keep the whole object in focus? thanks

@ModernHobbyist 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment Antonis! I have found that a narrower aperture (e.g. f/22) will result in more of the project being in focus, although you'll lose the dramatic effect of having a wider aperture. Switching to manual focus will also help, but it can be hard to know exactly where the print and toolhead are going to end up for the snapshot. Another argument for manual focus is that it will dramatically speed up the snapshot process. Downsides to a narrower aperture is that you'll need a brighter environment to account for the fact that less light is getting in. Hope that helps, let me know if you have more questions!

so i followed your tut i can get the DSLR working but when i test the script in octolaps.. i get the following error There were 1 errors while applying custom camera settings/scripts: camera_initialization_error: The custom camera initialization script failed with the following error message: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory ERROR: Could not get image. /home/pi/scripts/take-snapshot.sh: 26: /home/pi/scripts/take-snapshot.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "fi")

So the very last error makes me think the take-snapshot.sh file was not correctly copied, it seems you are missing a "fi" at the end of an if statement, perhaps the very last line of the script. For the mkdir command, double check the location of GPhoto2 by running 'whereis gphoto2', and confirm that the visudo file has the correct path to GPhoto2. Let me know if this works for you.

@@ModernHobbyist thanks for the fast reply. i have checked and "fi" is were its is meant to be not too sure what wrong i have reinstalled it with no luck

I'd be happy to help you further, could you send an email to my email address listed on my Channel's about page? If might be easier to discuss this over email. Maybe send me a screen shot of the script as well as the output of "whereis gphoto2" and the contents of the sudoers file.

@@ModernHobbyist whereis gphoto2 gphoto2: /usr/bin/gphoto2 /usr/include/gphoto2 /usr/share/man/man1/gphoto2.1.gz thats the location of the file

@ModernHobbyist 4 года назад

Ok, that is the correct location for GPhoto2, so that's not our issue. Can you try running the following command from the command line? /home/pi/scripts/take-snapshot.sh 1 1 "" "/home/pi/scripts" "" "/home/pi/scripts/test.jpg" Let me know what the output is.
