This is a DiscontinuedProject. It has been finished and is in a stable state now. Currently, no effort is made for further work here. I have given up work on the filesystem backed by the camera, though.
Requirements
- A Kodak DC260, DC265, or DC290 digital camera. Please do not try to use the DC290 tool with other devices, it will surely not work properly and may even damage your camera.
- A working FreeBSD 4.0. The DC290 tool relies on the generic USB device driver in fBSD 4.0 and will not work on earlier releases. Current NetBSDs might work, Linux will not, as it has no generic USB support at all.
- A USB interface supported and recognized by FreeBSD. Please see the FreeBSD documentation on how to configure, build, and install an appropriate kernel.
Download
The DC290 tool is still being developed. Please read the Copyright and disclaimer notice before downloading and installing it. If you feel brave, you can try and download the latest working snapshot here, but please do not send any bug reports, this code is not yet ready for a real-world release.
The current VersionNumber is devel-1.0, which is able to connect to the camera and do the following things:
- connect to the camera
- list picture directory
- download picture files
- take a photo
- turn the camera's power off
When it's ready, the DC290 tool will be included with Oliver's ophoto tool.
Installing
Just unpack the source archive, compile and install the software:
> tar xvfz dc290-devel-1.0.tar.gz
> cd dc290
> make depend
> make
> su
# make install
This will install the binary in /usr/local/bin and a manual page in /usr/local/man/man1. Read the manpage and download your pictures...
