It has the architecture in place for someone to write a Gphoto2 plugin - I don't know that there is one yet. I would love it if you could help get one going.Arche wrote:Spreads looks amazing, good job!
One question though, has anybody done anything to get the canon EOS line running with it? My pair of EOS600's (Rebel T3i) is aching to get some use..

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
As Daniel already mentioned above, spreads' architecture makes it pretty easy to add support for non-CHDK as well. In the case of the EOS600, I would have a look at the MagicLantern firmware, there seems to be a Python API for it, so writing a plugin shouldn't be much of a problem: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Remo ... and_PythonArche wrote: One question though, has anybody done anything to get the canon EOS line running with it?

There also seems to be an option that makes ML's PTP API compatible with the CHDKPTP PTP API, so with some luck you might even get it to work with the chdkcamera driver that is already included: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/PTP-CHDK
Yes, it does. We are currently mainly working with Raspberry Pis (ARMv6), but the software and all required libraries should work across all ARM processors and probably even MIPS.And does it run under linux ARM versions? Ubuntu (studio)12.04 to be more precise..

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
Hi there, jbaiter. I was wondering if you'd be pushing an update to the github master any time soon? I'm looking forward to trying out spreads but haven't been able to figure out what I'd need to change from the .42 version to cope with the API change you mention. Thanks for your time, and if I can get it going on my laptop, I'm probably going to take a look at the Raspberry Pi version you've been working on. Cheers!jbaiter wrote:That's due to an API change in one of the modules that I use. I have a fix ready but I still need to merge it into the master branch on GitHub, which will probably be in the next few days.
PS. If I can get this installed, I'll be posting the code to handle the Canon A4000 cameras--I think I've got that part figured out based on your earlier posts for the A2000 and 850(?) models.

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
shesgottageek, you can access the latest revision here: http://github.com/DIYBookScanner/spreads
The jbaiter/spreads is my personal fork where I put experimental branches, it hasn't seen updates in over a week.
As for the A4000, try out the vanilla 'chdkcamera' driver, it seems to work fine for the A810, maybe your device doesn't need any special handling either

Can anyone suggest to me how I get the most up-to-date version of the project? I used the command suggested in the installation guide: sudo pip install git+git://github.com/DIYBookScanner/spreads.git@master
this installed the 0.42 version which errored on me. and unfortunately, none of the git tutorials I've read so far have managed to convey to my head how to do this. (My understanding is that the "master" is the last release, not the most up-to-date changes. There have been additional mods since the 0.42 release, and I would like to be able to try them out, as I'm just abt finished with assembling my parts for a davidlandlin pvc-tube scanner. Thank you in advance, and thanks to jbaiter and the other contributors for spreads.

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
The command you posted does not install the latest release, but actually the latest HEAD (== latest development changes), so pretty much what you want.
Please try uninstalling the old version first ('pip uninstall spreads') and/or work from a Python virtualenv to avoid conflicts.
Also, can you post the exact error you're getting?
You have to do some more things to get spreads to run if you install from GitHub, namely installing some extra requirements for some of the drivers and plugins:

Hi fellow bookscanners!
I am having trouble getting spreads to download from http://buildbot.diybookscanner.org/nigh ... est.tar.gz.
I get all the dependencies downloaded and installed except for Wand and Spreads.

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
As far as I am aware, Spreads is no longer maintained. It is a neat project that I hope gets reborn some day if Johannes gets more time to work on it. In the mean time, you might take a look at TwoCamControl (a similar project for windows) and Pi Scan (a similar project meant for running on a Raspberry Pi).

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool
After seeing video with Daniel Reetz demoing the Spreads software using Raspberry Pi and lack of success with PiScan (multiple errors and cameras losing connections I am using two Canon ELPH 160s with current CHDK sw) running same firmware 1.0A, I don't mind using "older software/scripts" if they work.
How do I get the latest Spread software?
What languages and development tools do I need to update Spreads?
I'm not a programmer but willing to learn. I have an older scanner from Daniel and need some software / script to capture a pile of books.
I've got a local kid who will do the actual capturing and I will do the post processing.
Appreciatively,
