khobar95 Posted yesterday at 02:40 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:40 AM Hi folks, I'm new here, so apologies in advance. I have a GH1, and I want to use it as an allsky camera. I have a wide-angle lens that works really well, but I have no computer control over it. I've used it with a simple timer/shutter device, but I'd really like to connect it to a Raspberry Pi. I understand this is possible via a hacked firmware, but this camera is so old that I can't find anything beyond Ptool. So, is there a source for the relevant firmware that would enable full USB control? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khobar95 Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago Wow - that looks very interesting! Thank you. I am looking specifically for GH1. As I understand it, the USB functions are crippled in firmware but can be unlocked with a firmware hack (for versions less than 1.34 IIRC) via Ptool. I downloaded Ptool a couple of days ago, but now I need the firmware? I'll have to refresh my memory - I might be overthinking things. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
