Hello!

Trying to setup SmartShooter (CaptureGrid 4) on Raspbery Pi 4.
Using latest Raspberian distro.
Seting up
Snapcraft
From snapcraft Capturinggrid 4
But SmartShooter not see my cameras (Nikon D850 or Nikon D5500).

Looks like something is wrong with the permissions for the CaptureGRID snap package.

[17:50:08.813 Camera Error: 1] failed to open USB: -99 LIBUSB_ERROR_OTHER (Other error)

I suspect this is an issue with Raspbian and its support for snapd, and that its not giving capturegrid the permissions it needs to use USB. I’ll have do some more investigation into this.

In the mean time, one thing to try is to install the snap in “devmode”. This will then bypass the normal permissions checks for the app. To do that:

# first remove the app
snap remove capturegrid4

# install in devmode
snap install --devmode capturegrid4

By the way, the reason that gphoto2 is not affected by this, is that its probably installed from a .deb package on the pi. That means it is not restricted in the access permissions it has to the rest of the system.

vlad · 21 August 2019 11:15

Yes! That help!
Now it see camera and can control it.

Did i understand right that rpi version do not have liveview inside raspberian? Only as a part of grid on master?

vlad · 21 August 2019 11:48

And what correct settings to run Capturegrig4 on windows as master and raspbery as nodes.
Windows see node, but not see any cameras on it.

francis · 21 August 2019 12:33

Yes! That help!
Now it see camera and can control it.

OK great!
And I just wanted to check, after you’ve installed the capturegrid4 snap, it will start the app automatically in the background. So, you don’t need to manually start the app. More is explained here:
https://capturegrid.com/linux.html#running-the-app

Windows see node, but not see any cameras on it.

Well, the linux snap will run (by default) without a GUI, so no you won’t be able to view the live view there. Instead, you can view it from the master node (running on windows or mac).

So on the master node, go to the “Network” tab, and enable the following options:

Distribute Options
Listen for Live View

And also, set the “Sync Photos” option as needed.
More explained here:
https://capturegrid.com/networking.html

vlad · 22 August 2019 05:03

Here the Capturegrid4 runned on Raspbery 4

even if i run with -g or without Windows stop to see rpi node.

vlad · 22 August 2019 05:05

when i start rpi as service. PC see this rpi node, but not see any cams on it

is it possible run CG4 on Rpi with gui but as slave node?

And why windows version can’t see cams on rpi? Can this be from license issues, trial is expired.

francis · 22 August 2019 06:27

First thing I wanted to check with you, on the linux node, did you stop the capturegrid4 background service? Remember, after installing the snap package, the app will be automatically started and run as a service in the background. So if you later want to run the app yourself, you need to stop this first with:

snap stop capturegrid4

is it possible run CG4 on Rpi with gui but as slave node?

Yes definitely, actually this is what you are doing, when you manually launch the app.
The only difference between the background service, is that it gets run with the --cli option, so that no GUI is shown.

Thanks for the screenshots. Whats odd is the Windows screenshot, it shows the “local” node as disconnected - is the app running in trial mode, or maybe the trial mode has run out?

vlad · 22 August 2019 07:46

Trial run out. But your license you sent me for tests is not working in Grid version.

francis · 22 August 2019 08:28

Ah ok, I’ve emailed you another test license to use.

vlad · 22 August 2019 10:37

Perfect! Now Windows see raspbery pi node and cameras on it.

But now i have problem with Sony a6500 cam.
For windows i use Remote Control mode on a6500 and Capturegrid see my camera, can download images, can shot and do autofocus.
But when i try to connect to rpi it always show “Connecting” and Capturegrid not see camera.
If i switch to MTP on camera, Capturegrid see a6500 but no reaction from buttons, or from “Shoot” button on Capturegrid.

Any ideas what to test?

francis · 22 August 2019 10:56

Let me check here first, and verify everything is working correct on linux for the Sony camera support.

francis · 26 August 2019 12:08

@vlad to confirm, I’m also seeing the same issue with the Sony a6500 on the linux version of CaptureGRID. I’ll let you know once I’ve fixed this.

francis · 30 August 2019 07:31

@vlad which linux platform are you running?
I have a possible fix to try out, just wanted to check whether you need an intel, arm32, or arm64 build?

vlad · 30 August 2019 10:53

Raspbery pi v4 and 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-full

francis · 30 August 2019 11:57

I’ve uploaded a test version of the snap package, to the “edge” channel.
It hopefully fixes this issue with the Sony cameras.

To test it out, if you already have the snap installed, then switch to the “edge” channel with this command:

snap refresh --channel edge capturegrid4

Otherwise, install like this:

snap install --channel edge capturegrid4

vlad · 2 September 2019 04:03

PC-Remote working now with Sony a6500 (i hope Sony a7III/a7RIII too)!

But only after uninstall and install back as devmode.

snap install --devmode --channel edge capturegrid4

Thank you!

slajfo · 21 October 2019 10:46

Hi Francis,

now i testing CaptureGrid 4.9 on my Windows nodes but i want add to our workflow also RaspberryPies as nodes. Is there some way to setup RP for download images to the network location?

I using your capturegrid_pi3_v4 image. If no, maybe in the future? I think is useless without it for me.

Thank you for your answer.

Lukas.

vlad · 23 October 2019 11:52

Can CaptureGrid 4 work without internet? We building mobile system where internet will be not available, but i need run 1 master and 6 slave nodes of CC4.

Also please check mail, i have urgent issue.

francis · 23 October 2019 12:37

No, for ongoing usage the software does not require an internet connection.

The internet connection is only needed for the one-off activation process.
