I'm trying to use my smartphone to grab photos from Yùn and forward them to a ftp server, just as a test.
I have an old Canon Powershot too, and I want to use it as weather cam, using a Yùn to forward to a ftp server images captured by the camera. Now I'm using a linux host on pc to do this dirty job and gphoto works fine with the camera.
But trying to connect the any camera to the Yùn, gphoto2 --list-ports command gives this result:
Yùn sees correctly any USB device connected (in this case the smartphone connected as PTP device):

I'm running a Yùn with 1.5.3 release of OpenWRT
I'm forgetting something on configuring the camera. Any suggestion?
P.S. Using a webcam with UVC and GSPCA driver and fswebcam works fine, but I'd like to use my old Powershot
Angelo9999:
Does the Yun see the Camera correctly with lsusb? It seems something related to gphoto.
Yes, every camera I connect to the Yùn is correctly seen by lsusb (even smartphones configured as PTP cameras). I think gphoto rel. 2.4.11 available on OpenWRT repository has some bug.
Among supported cameras: Nikon D700; Nikon Coolpix P6000 and a Casio Exilim EX-Z100.
I triead also a Nikon Coolpix P7700 (not supported by gphoto2 2.4.11), same results with every camera I tried. As soon as possible I will try with manual configuration.
Sorry for my late answer. I'm also try to work with gphoto an the YUN.
The 2.4.x Version of gphoto2 won't work on OpenWRT anymore.
You have to use a 2.5.x Version or above.

I used a hacked Version of 2.5.2 with all drivesrs aktivated und disabled Lens Zoom function compiled by myself for my Canon EOS 350D.
Thank you! Now I've a gphoto2 version fully working.
Is there a way to ask developers of OpenWRT to upgrade their repository with this version of gphoto2?
