The API is exposed in the html. It is reasonably simple to access. The challenge is writing something useful. I've had ideas and looked around a bit but got more interested in something else.

So you would need an idea on what to write for the card?

Or you are "just not interested anymore"...

For anyone still interesting this Flucard, I'm late to the party, and trying to figure out how it controls K-3/K-3 II to take photos.

Here is the 'index.html' file from the Pentax Flucard. I extracted it from the firmware, 00.01.00.02, and decoded using 'html' program on the firmware by command 'html decode', which I found from reverse engineering the command. Reformatted in Atom editor, so it's readable.

Here it's:

            var comuHTTPCardCgiResRestoreControlImage = "OK"; 




		

And there are more of how each request url formed in many following functions. such as:

PHP Code:

			
            function captureOnloadShutter() {

                sysSetLog("[BUTTON] SHUTTER: onload");

                if (captureButtonActive == 1) {

                    if (captureLiveviewStatus == 0) AJAX_get(comuHttpOperationRequest + comuHttpRequestShutter + "&" + comuHttpResponseAf + "0");

                    else AJAX_get(comuHttpOperationRequest + comuHttpRequestShutter);

                    AJAX_start_connection_timer();

                    setTimeout("captureShutterOff()", 200);

                }

            }

Seems like nice work. If you would team up with some people who have interest on producing a better flucard, you could get money out of it, and we could maybe have a better interface...

[bootcoder]

taowang, these strings form part of url. And this part of url is passed to the camera and parsed in camera. There is a list of all possible comfiguration parameters and actions, if you are interested. But these are very restricted comparable to API available with pktriggercord (mass storage device interface).

having it connect to my home Wifi network instead of it creating its own.

how did you do that, it's very useful to have it connect to home wifi, that way I can upload photos in the card directly to Instagram via my phone !

[tempelorg]

Read again, redcat - that was a goal. I never succeeded in that. See post #28 for details.

[redcat]

oh sorry, I was too excited with the hack, didn't read carefully. Thank you for your contribution to this project

[amoringello]

Has anyone run into the problem (or more importantly solved the problem) where cgi-bin/photolist returns only the list of photos on the card when the WiFi was enabled?
Any photos taken since the WiFi was enabled are not listed.

Is there a way to refresh the list?

I have a small Python program that is 90% of the way to getting a basic AutoImporter compatible with LightRoom... similar to the old EyeFi functionality.
But if new files are not detectable without turning WiFi off/on, it is not very useful. :-) :-)

So, I just tried "cgi-bin/refresh". I have not seen that documented anywhere, but it did what I wanted.
Hopefully I can get the rest working now. :-)
