@Kharak that's not my setup but am building something similar.  Yup this kind of thing is a photogrammetry rig, watch this if you want to see something cool:

@garry23 that looks pretty good I'll check it out.  Still annoying that you need a dongle to do something the camera can already physically do, just blocked through software.

I was going to start a new thread but this seems pretty similar.

Can't speak for others but my main use case for this type of control over USB/WiFi is to control large numbers of DSLRs for photogrammetry rigs:



In this setup you really need to be able to turn the camera on then control the rest from a computer.  To me its a remote controlled sensor and lens assembly, not a DSLR meant for human use

Using USB creates a lot of cable clutter and physical fail points.  To control 50+ cameras from a central location you need multiple layers of USB hubs, controller computers to funnel USB down ethernet to a central location etc.  If I could directly enable/control WiFi support (assuming camera has built in WiFi) when a cameras boots up would be faster, cheaper and easier with less fail points.

So my specific request would be to expose WiFi connection functionality to Lua so I could write a boot script to put the camera in WiFi mode ready for connection.  The rest can already be accomplished with existing tools.

Hi all I'm super keen to help out with T6 work.  Are these instructions still valid to setup my dev environment?
