Hero3+ support

[w4smt]

Hi r1pper,

I'm developing a GoPro control app for Mac and your code has been extremely helpful. I really appreciate it.

I would like to add Hero3+ support, but I only have a Hero3 Black. Do you know how the Hero3+ cameras identify themselves in the /camera/cv response. Specifically the 'Model' byte? I'm assuming:

Hero3+White = 5
Hero3+Silver = 6
Hero3+Black = 7

Do you know if this is correct?

Thanks,

David

Hi David

thanks, I'm glad you found it useful

Unfortunately I'm in the same situation (having only a Hero 3 Black), I found most of commands and parameters using Wire Shark, User manuals or searching the forums and a little bit of reversing the codes, However I couldn't find anything specific about Hero3+ (like the model you mentioned)

I think the best approach is to write a collector app, to gather general information and capabilities about the camera.

If you know someone who has a Hero3+ and willing to participate, please let me know to start writing the collector app.

btw I did major update to the library, Now it supports camera content browsing.

Best Regards

Hi Hessam,

Thanks for the response. I've been working on a cross-platform GoPro control app in Xojo. Pretty much a clone of the GoPro iPad app but runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. I'm working on media browsing. I'm shelling out to curl and exiftool to quickly get the thumbnail image from the JPG's. I'm using VLC libraries to play the LRV's and the preview stream. It's working pretty well. Still a lot of work to do. I really need to find a Hero3+ and see the responses to camera/cv /se.

I'll take a look at the library update. Your work has saved me many hours of hard work. Much appreciated!

David

@r1pper Hi, I just got one Hero 3+ black edition, I can give you some help

[KonradIT]

Hello!
I am developing a HTML5 app to control GoPro cameras, I have only a HERO3 Black and HERO2 (anyone needs a HERO2??)
I really need the HERO3+Black commands and other like HERO3 White, HERO3 Silver and HERO3+Silver.
I have my app (for smartphones and computers here) https://github.com/KonradIT/HeroProApp
PC url: http://pc.heropro.chernowii.com
Mobile URL: http://m.heropro.chernowii.com

[KonradIT]

PD: if you want ALL the HERO3 Black commands and HERO2 Commands: https://github.com/KonradIT/HeroProApp/blob/gh-pages/commands.md

[KonradIT]

@sprhawk Hello, could you post here the following commands: Auto Low Light ON/OFF, Video Resolutions: with or without �[SuperView (1080S, 720S)]. Please, post it here, it will be really helpful 👍 :)

[r1pper]

@sprhawk Hi, thanks for helping, it would be great, if you could gather a wireshark log file from the camera, specially for the commands @KonradIT mentioned.

many thanks

Hessam

[KonradIT]

@r1pper , Do you need wifi commands of the HERO2? :) https://github.com/KonradIT/HeroProApp/blob/gh-pages/commands.md

[r1pper]

@KonradIT Sure thanks, I'll update the code based on your provided data, Can you help me verify the implementation for HERO2 when it's done?

[KonradIT]

What do you mean? The video resolutions and photo resolutions are there.
By the way, how do you use the video resolutions in HERO3Black? All resolutions have at least two outcomes.

[r1pper]

@KonradIT there are small differences in parameters you listed with what I use, for example to set video resolution I use "camera/vv" while you listed "camera/vr" , I saw both, but Gopro app send "camera/vv" to my Hero3 Black, or for OSD I use "camera/DS" while you listed "OD" for it, I believe different firmwares should cause these differences

as for different resolutions, I wrote a filter which specifies valid resolutions based on Protune, white Balance ,...

best regards
Hessam

Hero3+ Camera Models are

Hero3+ Black Edition=11;
Hero3+ Silver Edition= 10;

[KonradIT]

@r1pper , in the SE file?

[r1pper]

New Camera models are ("/bacpac/se"):

Hero3+ Black Edition (Bawa)=11;
Hero3+ Silver Edition (Uluwatu)= 10;

Auto Low Light command should be:

"camera/LW"

New Video Resolutions should be:

720 S = 9
1080 S =10

Hero3+ preview mode is new (don't know if it supports older methods)
new Gopro app supports OTA firmwares

now we need a quick test and a Hero3+ to verify these commands :)

[KonradIT]

@r1pper camera/LW or AL&p=Wifipass?t=%00 OFF 01 ON???

so, in the HERO3 Black you use VV? I will test it tomorrow
