What I would like to do
- I was trying to take pictures with an old digital camera directly from pc
- I found about
gphoto2
software, I tried but I'm just able to get the pictures that are stored in the camera (My old fujifilm a900 digital camera, and new Canon EOS 600d) I cannot take pictures directly from pc - Then I realized that could be better if there is any way to control any Digital Camera creating your own drivers. To manage actions like opening the objective, take a picture, set camera to standby...
I've been reading other questions related with this but couldn't find any interesting information. I know about python and bash script, but I know nothing about drivers so... Could be possible to develop some kind of software/drivers to manage an old Digital Camera ?
I want to connect my old digital camera to my raspberry Pi and try to make a TimeLapse movie
EDIT
Some extra info I would appreciate:
- Although it is a lot of work, If I'd like to create my own drivers, where can I start for ?
- If I'd like to develop my own firwmare ?
- It's possible to change/update the internal software/firmware of an old digital camera ?
I'm not looking a full answer to this "extra" question, I just want some information to read about this options, if they're possible
