s10sh
is a command line software utility to download pictures from Canon digital cameras
via a USB or serial cable. It also allows for other direct control of the camera and to explore
the embedded processor.
Story:
now (see History below) so this is an attempt to archive the software in its current
state. It will also allow ongoing development in a controlled manner.
In December 2004 I made some updates to the utility for my own use and distributed
them through the YahooGroups canondigicamhacking and the www.syeager.org 300d
development communities. There, some interest had developed to continue supporting
s10sh. I also attempted to contact both the previous developers (see History below)
but did not receive any responses.
History:
http://www.kyuzz.org/antirez/s10sh.html
(The page was last updated Sat, Jan 6, 2001, at version 0.2.0.)
Then the Debian maintainer, John Reynolds, made some changes at
http://www.reynoldsnet.org/s10sh/
(The page was last updated Sat, Sep 13, 2003 at version 0.2.2.)
Then Doug Mitton added some new features and cameras and uploaded the package to:
http://www.syeager.org/300d/forum/index.php
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canondigicamhacking/
(This was last updated Mon, Mar 28, 2005 at version 0.2.2B.)
On Fri, Nov 18, 2005 Doug Mitton created the SourceForge.Net site and uploaded
all the archive source files as well as the most recent update version 0.2.2C.
There is also an MS Windows version (with source code) located at: http://wins10sh.narod.ru/
(The author can be contacted as rayer314 at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canondigicamhacking/)
On Thu, Aug 24, 2006 Lex Augusteijn (one of the 300D UnDutchable authors) sent me an updated
version which allows camera parameters (such as ISO, shutter speed, etc) to be changed via the
USB port. This is in addition to the existing option totake a picture via the USB port.
These changes were made to assist in this project; Hardware Photos and BLOG.
Thanks Lex; the source package is available via the download link as package s10sh-0.2.3.
