gphoto2 - camera connection

[w0jtek]

Hi,

I'm using gphoto2 on raspberry pi device and control the camera remotely, over ssh connection. Unfortunately, something went wrong and I can't take pictures anymore.

Code: Select all

gphoto2 --auto-detect

shows nothing

Code: Select all

gphoto2 --summary

shows:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ gphoto2 --auto-detect 
*** Error: No camera found. ***                                                

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <gphoto-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:

    env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --debug-logfile=my-logfile.txt --summary

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

Assuming that the camera hasn't turned off - is it possible to "reset" the usb connection without unplugging the cable manually?
Can I check if the camera is still on?
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

The commands "lsusb" and "dmesg" are important when trying to debug this kind of situations.

Assuming that the camera hasn't turned off - is it possible to "reset" the usb connection without unplugging the cable manually?

Not that I'm aware of.. It may be a possibility to un-load and re-load the USB-modules in the kernel, but probably that could mess up all the other things that use USB ( ethernet for example ).
Rebooting the Pi should normally work, unless the camera itself is stuck.
