Raspberry Pi Zero W image and installation tutorial
Posted: 14 Jul 2019, 16:56
Hello,
Over a year ago I've made a qDslrDashboard WiFi adapter for my Nikon D90 based on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I had to compile and install DDServer, then configure WiFi access point, scripts to start the service on boot and all the related stuff.
I was a little bit surprised that I couldn't find a ready-made SD card image. Maybe there is one but I just couldn't find it.
Anyway, I've decided to prepare one myself and here it is, together with information on what parts to buy and how to install everything, full guide:
https://msimonides.github.io/camera-wifi/
I hope it's useful to someone. I've tried to make it as easy as I can for non-technical users (and also for people who have not heard of qDsqlDashboard yet).
Please let me know if you see anything I can improve (any typos, ambiguous sentences etc.).
The guide isn't as polished as I would like it to be, but it's been sitting my disk for over a month now and I've decided that it's better to publish it as is instead of never publishing the perfect version.
