I’ve written a python script to act as a server to the Samsung NX300 DSLR so that it will automatically copy photos to your local computer.
Power on the NX300 and hit the ‘Direct Link’ button. Then connect to the ‘AP_SSC_NX300_*’ access point and run the script. It will connect to the camera and wait for downloaded images.

Extensive work since the last post – here’s a quick look while I get my act together.
So I’ve done a couple of conversions with the current setup and it’s apparent that I need to make a few changes.
The first is the camera; my digital SLR took about 18,000 frames for 2 films and that’s really bad for the mechanical systems. So I’m now using this Samsung NX200 mirror less unit. It’s around 20 megapixels and has an APS-C sensor.
However, it doesn’t have a remote shutter connection (which I should have checked out) so I built this mechanical actuator.
It’s a block of balsa which fits snugly over the camera. On the top is a relay and solenoid which mechanically activates the shutter.
I need to document this a little better. I’ve been working on an 8mm film to video converter for some time. Here’s a quick look.
