support Hero 8 about goprocontrol HOT 18 CLOSED

Ah, I have the MAX, and working to get BT specs. Once the Hero 8 Black I will also add support.

from goprocontrol.

Hello, is it planned to add support for Hero 8 camera and when if so? Thanks.

obviously yes but since i don't have any of them i won't be able to test. if you have one of them you can try to make the changes and make a pull request

about the BT, the problem remains on the arduino side, actually there is the lack of a stable BT library

from goprocontrol.

I have Hero 8 and I am willing to help. But I do not know how. Can you guide me what should I do?

from goprocontrol.

just use the normal example assuming your gopro is a hero7, let's see how it works, I didn't had a look to the new gopro and i don't know if the pairing sequence changed

from goprocontrol.

Well that is the problem. I have tried Hero 7 and it does not work. When I try to connect it always ends with "Connection failed with status: 6" message.

from goprocontrol.

What board are you using?

from goprocontrol.

ESP8266 (Wemos D1 mini Pro)

from goprocontrol.

Weird, try setting the network to 2.4GHz.

from goprocontrol.

I have it set to 2.4 GHz (because I do not know why but it does not work with 5 GHz and my LG v40). I have also noticed that the SSID is not available until I try to connect with my phone app. It looks like it is in power saving until phone (I assume with bluetooth) will try to wake it.

from goprocontrol.

The HERO8? Yeah, you need to connect it to the app to turn on the WiFi AP.

from goprocontrol.

Yeah, but even when I am conencted to the app the Wemos says "Connection failed with status: 6"

from goprocontrol.

I have tried to connect multiple times after each other and after 12 tries it connected for a couple of seconds and than "Connection lost".

from goprocontrol.

Now it connects every time but with "Connection lost" afterwards. I can not get it do start video or take a picture in this interval (it is something around 2 seconds)

from goprocontrol.

When I try to make a web request from PC (connected to the GoPro Wifi and openhttp://10.5.5.9/gp/gpControl/command/system/locate?p=1) it starts beepeing. When I try to make webrequest (with this example GET) it connects to WiFi, gets an IP address but the http request fails and no beeping occurs.

from goprocontrol.

Well, it looks like my Wemos board was broken. I have tried another one with exact same code and it works like a charm. Sorry for bothering you and thank you.

from goprocontrol.

Do not worry the wemos d1 is a shitty board, I try to don't use it

I am quite happy that the gopro 8 works without any changes 😁
Tonight I will make some minimum changes to the library, idk if the new camera have new functionality compared to hero7, @KonradIT do you know something?

from goprocontrol.

Yes there are some new stuff regarding modes, unlike HERO7. MAX documentation is up on goprowifihack and it shares a lot in common with HERO8 so we can use that as a starting point until I get the HERO8.

from goprocontrol.

So I am 100% sure that there are some issues with newer gopro, at least in the MAX, because they changed some configuration, for example the FOV (before, after). But they are very silly issues and very easy to solve so we can say that we have support for HERO8 and MAX
