  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

REDLINK APP now in ITUNES Store

OH Fuck yea!

The store says iPad only... is that an error?
 
Slick and just the beginning . . .
 
Another Q:

It seems obvious but we can allow/disallow all connections from the camera, yes?

There are three methods to connect to the camera:
1. Gigabit Ethernet Port
2. Serial Port
3. REDLINK BRIDGE

For the Gigabit Ethernet and Serial Port, someone would need physical access to attach a cable to your camera.

For the Gigabit Ethernet, there is a checkbox to allow external control of the camera in the communication dialog (it is disabled by default).

For the Serial Port, you need to first set the Serial Protocol to "REDLINK Command Protocol" in the communication dialog before control is enabled.

For the REDLINK BRIDGE, you have full control over enabling the WiFi, whether you connect the camera to an existing access point (with whatever security protocol you want) or setting up an Ad-Hoc network (again with security).

Trent,

I'm trying to find the wiring diagrams for Gigabit Ethernet and Serial Port. Could you please point me in the right direction?
 
At some point soon I want to get my hands on one and write a little app in my spare time.

Thank you Trent.

To be clear; when on a WiFi network, can we specify which devices are allowed control, which have data access only and others have zero access... from a camera control panel?

No, you don't have the level of control.

The REDLINK BRIDGE has two modes of operation (or you can disable WiFi entirely):
- Infrastructure
- AdHoc

In infrastructure mode you connect to an existing access point (using WEP, WPA2, etc).

In AdHoc mode you don't need any access points. You can put a password on the AdHoc network.

At the moment, any more elaborate security schemes would need to be implemented on your router.

Can't access "infrastructure" mode, Ad-Hoc is auto selected and everything else in the menu is greyed out.

Eric, do you have a REDLINK Bridge module connected at the back of your camera ?

Camera does not have built in wifi...
 
so this app is only usable with the REDLINK module? since there is no way to plug in a cable into the ipad, wifi is the only way?
my problem is that the XL module has a fixed spot on my epic these days, so the REDLINK is out....
 
Thanks again Trent.
