AstroShutter.CliWrapper 0.0.2

AstroShutter Cli wrapper

This is a wrapper for gphoto2 CLI.

Currently it has been tested to work on the following platforms:

• Ubuntu 20.04 (Any Linux based system should work though)
• Windows 10 1909> (Using MSYS2 for gphoto2)

Platforms that are planned to be supported:

• Windows 10 2004> using WSL2 (Waiting for proper USB support in WSL2)
• MacOS 10.15 Catalina

Camera's used to test this wrapper:

• Canon EOS 760D

I currently only own this camera, I will try to test more when I get my hands on more equipment.

What is currently implemented

• List connected cameras (Returns model no. and usb port info)
• Get/set config for any supported config string
• Basic camera settings such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed, aspect ratio, image format and capture target.
• Capturing images which returns a list of files created
• Capturing images in bulb mode (Also returns a list of files created)
• Checking if device is locked or is connected
• Read storage information (Capacity, storage type and free space left)
• Listing files/folders
• Deleting files (Single file/entire folder)
• Downloading of files with specific methods (single file, range of files or entire folders)
• Maybe more if you are in need of a feature please request it by making a new issue in the issue tracker

Examples

In AstroShutter-TestTool/ is a fully working example of how to use this library.

But a bare-bones example is as follows:

    Camera cam = Cli.AutoDetect()[0];

    cam.captureTarget = CaptureTarget.MemoryCard;
    cam.iso = 800;
    cam.shutterSpeed = "1/10";
    cam.aspectRatio = "3:2";
    cam.aperture = 5.6;
    cam.imageFormat = ImageFormat.RAWAndLargeFineJPEG;

    cam.captureImage();

Known issues

• Windows related: Currently windows does not allow WSL to talk directly to USB hardware (I am aware of some developments so I hope soon it can) to make it work on Windows at the moment we are using mintty from MSYS2 with gphoto2 installed in mingw64. This introduces a bug whenever executing a command it will unfocus the currently focused window due to mintty hiding it's own window but still stealing focus.

  I will try to get WSL2 to work whenever that is ready.
