Tragic Lantern / Re: Tragic Lantern for EOS M

The cam have a digital usb/av out. I thought this will be to send the live view to the tablet :o

Dose anyone tested to use the M + ML on Android?

Not tested myself (yet), from what I have heard all popular USB  remote control / tethered shooting solutions (including the ones from Canon) do not work on the EOS M. And ML on Android is not in active development, last time I checked, the modifications which allow PTP communication to android device were done on a custom version of ML, no idea if those commits have found their way into the main branch. If EOS M does communicate over USB (I really hope so) then it might be interesting idea to base the android app on dslr dashboard, which is open source and in active development.

I think I got it: I do not necessarily need to "make installer -c ...", I only have to "make EOSM" and then just overwrite on the SD card the autoexec.bin with the new one.

The reason I wanna mess around with source code is to try to connect the EOS M via ptp (if possible) with an arduino hardware (which controls also other peripherals) and from there to have access to ML commands and vice versa. But I need first to get more familiar with all things involved, so it might take a while until I am getting there ...

ok, make EOSM works, next problem:

make installer -C installer/EOSM.106/

python ../../../dumper/build_fir.py -r ../../../dumper/5D300113.FIR updater.bin EOSM106.fir
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '../../../dumper/build_fir.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory


according to some discussions on google group I should be able to wget from somewhere a prebuilt  .fir, but I did not found anywhere a link to such a .fir.

where can I get it ?

to get myself familiar with the internals of magic lantern and hopefully at some point contributing to development, I tried to build ML form source (unified branch), on Mac with Mountain Lion and dependencies installed, but the build-notes I found on the web seemed to me a bit out of date. Well, I could successfully compile it (just "make", no build target specified), for some platforms even an autoexec.bin got created, but not for the EOS M. So what are the buildsteps required to build ML for canon EOS M from source ?

Francis, thanks, works as you said, no idea how I managed to mess up and delete ML before ...

It's not working for me. I'm using a Sandisk Ultra 64GB and I'm prepping the card with MacBoot to make DSLR-bootable but when I try to update the firmware in camera, I ran into the same issue jimijam had earlier. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Really want to test it out. Thanks for all the hard work.

Min, it is working for me with a 32GB card, somewhere on the installations guide I read that for first time installations, the upperlimit for card capacity is 32 GB. 
Hope that helps

Hello

I am a first time user of ML (on a EOS M) and have learned that you cannot reformat the card to delete the photos (that what I used to do when working with Lightroom, wich does for good reasons not allow to delete photos automatically after import) - well, you can, but then ML is gone also !

So how do you guys do it ? Jus ordinary with a file browser ? Or does there exist a ML function I have overseen to do it quickly ?
