gphoto 2.5.4/2.5.10/2.5.11 works unreliable on RP3 with Canon 1200D

Hi gphoto User list!

I am stuck utilizing a raspberry Pi 3 to steer a Canon 1200D via
gphoto2. Using a home brew python script that takes a capture in intervals.

Raspbian comes with gphoto 2.5.4. This version detects the camera an can
perform any action on it except making captures in a stable fashion.

Have updated to 2.5.10 from Jessie-Backport. Same behavior.

Have compiled myself 2.5.11 Raspbian package from the git-Repository.
Same behavior.

Have had a clean start with fresh OS-Image. Some behavior.

The behavior is not deterministic. Sometime it captures sometimes not.

Resetting the camera via ghpoto2 --reset does not help.

Resetting the linux USB-Bus does not help.

Resetting the camera cures the problem, but only for a few shots.

No other process is using the Canon-usb-device. gvfs-gphoto is disabled,
no kernel module is using it.

Here the picture from 10000ft: First shot does not work. Second shot
works, third shot does not work:

And the weird stuff at last:

If I enable --debug everything is working. A true Heisenbug? Timing problem?

What am I doing wrong? What can I do better?

Any help appreciated

Volker

If enabling debug helps this is very likely a timing issue.

We are not waiting long enough for something or something is happening too quick. :/

As debugging does not work well... Can you try:

gphoto2 --trigger-capture --wait-event-and-download=20s > events.log

This will print the events coming from the camera. If that has also
working/nonworking happenings, logs for both fail/success would be good.

Ciao, Marcus

Hi!

This is a case with no capturing taking place:

gphoto2 --trigger-capture --wait-event-and-download=20s

abbrechen.
UNKNOWN PTP Property d11b changed
UNKNOWN PTP Property d1c7 changed

In this case capturing was succesfull:

And again a unsuccesfull one:

Warte 20 Sekunden auf Events von der Kamera. Drücke Ctrl-C zum

Hope that helps.

Re: gphoto 2.5.4/2.5.10/2.5.11 works unreliable on RP3 with Canon 1200D

In reply to this post by Marcus Meissner

Hi!

Coming back to my Issue with the 1200D.

A loop with 1 minute delay runs this command:

Running: /usr/bin/gphoto2 --set-config aperture=8 --set-config iso=0
--force-overwrite --filename=../../capture/Schedule_20170212-174715.jpg
--capture-image-and-download

Works in 9 out of 10 times then this happens:

*** Error ***
Canon EOS Full-Press failed (0x2019: PTP Device Busy)
ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.

The next time this:

ERROR: Could not capture image.
ERROR: Could not capture.

Then sometime it starts working again.

>From the recent discussion about the 1300D I learned a lot of things.
And I tried the same command as Oliver does for more finetuning on the
timings.

2017-02-12 18:55:53,141 INFO Running: /usr/bin/gphoto2 --set-config
aperture=8 --set-config iso=0 --wait-event=270ms --set-config

eosremoterelease='Release 1' --wait-event-and-download=5s
--force-overwrite --filename=../../capture/Schedule_20170212-185552.jpg

Unfortunally no image is taken this way.

I am a bit lost now.

Re: gphoto 2.5.4/2.5.10/2.5.11 works unreliable on RP3 with Canon 1200D

Hi again!

Have to apologise. Total looser, so bad!

Looks like the problem isn't gphoto at all, but the way I called it from python.

I am still investigating, but it seems like it matters if you call gphoto from the python subprocess-lib with "shell=True" or "shell=False" parameter.

Here is the python code fragment that works:

config.py:

# Grace time for camera to finish operation. Grace_time must be lower the interval_time.
# Wartezeit für Kamera bevor das Bild runtergeladen wrid. Muss kleiner als Schlafzeit sein.
grace_time = 25

# camera name for generation of unique output files
camera_name = 'cam_01'

# folder for capture files
capture_file_folder = '../../capture/'

# gphoto2 executable
gphoto_executable='/usr/bin/gphoto2'

# filename_format

FILENAME_FORMAT = "Schedule_%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.jpg"

# ===================
# Image configuration
# ===================

# Aperture
# Blende

image_conf = {
    'main/capturesettings/aperture' : '8', # Blende
    'main/imagesettings/iso' :'0',       # iso Value. 0=Auto
}

capture.py:

import subprocess
import datetime
import os

import config
from log import logger
from translation import _

def start():

...
...

   CMD_SINGLE = [
           '--force-overwrite',
           '--filename=%s' % out_file_name,
           '--wait-event=270ms',
           '--set-config', "eosremoterelease='Press 1'",
           '--wait-event=80ms',
           '--set-config', "eosremoterelease='Press 2'",
           '--wait-event=80ms',
           '--set-config', "eosremoterelease='Release 2'",
           '--wait-event=80ms',
           '--set-config', "eosremoterelease='Release 1'",
           '--wait-event-and-download=%ss' % config.grace_time,
           ]

    cmd = [config.gphoto_executable]

    cmd = cmd + CMD_SINGLE

    logger.info(_('Running') + ": " + ' '.join(cmd) )

    output = subprocess.check_output( ' '.join(cmd), shell=True )

    logger.info(_('Got') )

    for line in output.decode("utf-8", "replace").split('\n'):
        logger.info(_('    ') + line )

    logger.info(_('Image captured') )

Currently I have a series of 28 shots without problems.

Sorry for stealing your time

Volker
