I'm trying to get qDSLR dashboard up and running - I have an old HTC phone that I need to root to get Android KitKat 4.4 on and am hoping this will drive my 5DMk2.
Before I do that, I thought I would try it on my new phone a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini - I have an OTG cable and tried it last night, but qDSLRDashboard won't see the camera.
I was wondering if this is a problem with me, the OTG cable, the phone or something else I have missed? I am tempted to buy a router to see if it works wirelessly, but since I travel a lot with my camera and need to keep items to a minimum, I was hoping to use a cable and a phone.
So - have I got it right? I get a normal USB cable, plug it into my camera, and the big end goes into the OTG big end and the small OTG end goes in the phone. I then start up DSLRD and the camera and get it to take RAW and small JPG - pressing the USB button does nothing. It may be cheap cables - any ideas? Many thanks.
