I think there may be a simpler way of doing it than messing with eyefi stuff. When a picture is taken, file manager can see that there is a new file in /DCIM/100EOS5D and that the .CTG file in /DCIM/EOSMISC has changed size. File manager also can see a new .MLV file without a reboot. Does anyone know what's done when writing an MLV file that makes it show up in file manager without rebooting?

Thanks, I'll look into that and see what I can find

I've been using a similar function for finding the file and executing the button press that executes repetitively in a loop. It works if the command file containing the int is in place before the module is switched on. The problem I'm having is that after the initial pass of the loop, the module can't seem to recognize that the command file has been changed in some way. I've tried a lot of different things, including parsing the value of the file and having the presence of the file act as a simple flag to either press the shutter or not. I've also tried removing the command file after it has been parsed/executed and keeping the file but setting its contents to null.

In each case, I run into basically the same problem- the file io functions don't recognize that a command file has been created/changed. It's as if I need to call some kind of refresh function in order to see that a new command file has been added. If I create a file via telnet, I an see it via ls, but the camera (file manager and my functions) can't see it until after a reboot.

I'm working on a module to control my camera over wifi via a rooted transcend wifi sd card. Ive been trying to use the file io to detect and parse files that I write to the card via telnet into fake_simple_button commands , but with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas regarding how I could pass integer values from telnet into the module?
