It allows you to hook your Android phone to a Canon or Nikon DSLR via the camera’s USB port and control many aspects of photo taking. It even has live preview on the phone screen which is a nice bonus.</p> <p>The app itself is free to download but is limited in that it won’t allow you to shoot RAW images. It also doesn’t restore the camera settings when you shut it down so you may need to fix those after using it. If you register it by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://www.heliconsoft.com/focus_purchase.html">handing over $38</a> (discounted price, it’s normally $48!) you’ll be able to make RAW photos.</p> <p>There is also the free <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.remoterelease">remote release</a> app by Chainfire and his (much) more advanced <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller">DSLR Controller</a> costing only €7.13 that looks to be similar to the Helicon app but more reasonably priced.</p> <p>I tried the Helicon app with my SGSII, an OTG USB cable and my Canon 40D. Images are stored on your phone just in case you’re wondering where they’ve disappeared to after disconnecting everything!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/category/android/" title="View all posts in Android" rel="category tag">Android</a> and tagged <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/android/" rel="tag">Android</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/canon/" rel="tag">canon</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/irishblogs/" rel="tag">irishblogs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/photography/" rel="tag">Photography</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/01/04/tethered-shooting-android-apps-for-canon-and-nikon-dslrs/" title="8:50 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2013-01-04T20:50:17+00:00">January 4, 2013</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/author/admin/" title="View all posts by Donncha O Caoimh" rel="author">Donncha O Caoimh</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-89498099" class="post-89498099 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-android tag-android tag-bluetooth tag-irishblogs tag-podkicker"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/01/02/android-auto-connect-to-bluetooth-speakers/" title="Permalink to Android: auto connect to Bluetooth speakers" rel="bookmark">Android: auto connect to Bluetooth speakers</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/01/02/android-auto-connect-to-bluetooth-speakers/#respond" title="Comment on Android: auto connect to Bluetooth speakers"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>I have two bluetooth speakers at home. One is a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/y/46">Jawbone Jambox</a> and also a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/y/47">Creative D100</a>. The Jambox speaker looks for a bluetooth device when I switch it on that makes connecting a synch but the D100 does not. That necessitates clicking the Bluetooth Android notification and tapping the D100 device to connect. A small inconvenience I grant you but one nonetheless.</p> <p>This is where <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.refluxa.android.bac&hl=en">Bluetooth Auto Connect</a> comes in. As the name suggests, this app automatically connects to other bluetooth devices. After installing it I selected the Creative D100 so that device will auto connect. When both speakers are switched on it connects to the Jambox which is fine by me. The D100 now connects whenever I switch bluetooth on!</p> <p>Finally, I wanted to enable bluetooth if I fired up <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.podkicker">Podkicker</a> to listen to some podcasts but only if I was at home. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama">Llama Profiles</a> to the rescue! I created a new event that checks if Podkicker is running, if wifi is connected to my home network <em>and</em> the phone is charging. If all conditions are true then it enables bluetooth. Bluetooth then connects to whichever speaker is active and I get nice pleasant wireless sound. </p> <p>It might be a pain if I’m downstairs and my speakers were on in my office upstairs but that’ll teach me not to waste electricity while I’m afk won’t it? If I ever get an NFC tag I could do something with that and my Nexus 7 to do something similar but more localised!</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/category/android/" title="View all posts in Android" rel="category tag">Android</a> and tagged <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/android/" rel="tag">Android</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/bluetooth/" rel="tag">Bluetooth</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/irishblogs/" rel="tag">irishblogs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/podkicker/" rel="tag">podkicker</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/01/02/android-auto-connect-to-bluetooth-speakers/" title="5:50 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2013-01-02T17:50:56+00:00">January 2, 2013</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/author/admin/" title="View all posts by Donncha O Caoimh" rel="author">Donncha O Caoimh</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-89498093" class="post-89498093 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-games tag-games tag-irishblogs tag-natural-selection-2 tag-ns2 tag-steam"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/28/natural-selection-2-survival-of-the-fittest/" title="Permalink to Natural Selection 2: survival of the fittest" rel="bookmark">Natural Selection 2: survival of the fittest</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/28/natural-selection-2-survival-of-the-fittest/#respond" title="Comment on Natural Selection 2: survival of the fittest"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="625" height="382" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Sbi-9loqvA?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0"></iframe></span></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://www.naturalselection2.com/">Natural Selection 2</a> went on sale in the Steam Winter Sale and I bought it yesterday. First time playing it this evening and for complexity it blows any other team based shooter out of the water. Just take a look at the video above for a taster.</p> <p>I have to admit I didn’t know what I was doing most of the time but it was a blast. Lots of other new players too judging by some of the chatter I saw and heard.

It’s very like DayZ but monetised. You have multiple character slots and when one character dies you have to wait before using that character again.

Not a great way to launch a new game.</p> <p>The War Z is not for me. Running through empty scenery between locations, crawling around in the dirt avoiding zombies, watching out for other players gets boring very quickly. At least with DayZ I was able to play the excellent Arma II when I got bored of running away from zombies or dying of thirst after running across the map to attempt to meet up with friends.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/category/games/" title="View all posts in Games" rel="category tag">Games</a> and tagged <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/dayz/" rel="tag">dayz</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/games/" rel="tag">Games</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/irishblogs/" rel="tag">irishblogs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/the-war-z/" rel="tag">the war z</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/19/the-war-z-devious-criticism-in-an-unfriendly-forum/" title="1:20 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2012-12-19T13:20:57+00:00">December 19, 2012</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/author/admin/" title="View all posts by Donncha O Caoimh" rel="author">Donncha O Caoimh</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-89498067" class="post-89498067 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-games tag-games tag-irishblogs tag-minesweeper tag-reddit"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/12/til-how-to-play-minesweeper/" title="Permalink to TIL how to play minesweeper" rel="bookmark">TIL how to play minesweeper</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/12/til-how-to-play-minesweeper/#comments" title="Comment on TIL how to play minesweeper">5 Replies</a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89498068" alt="minesweeper" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209im_/http://ocaoimh.ie/ocaoimh/2012/12/minesweeper.png" width="238" height="283"/></p> <p>I never bothered learning how to play Minesweeper. I remember seeing it in Windows 3.1 but I thought it was similar to Battleships and frankly, it looked basic and boring. Basic it may look but today I accidentally <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/14pgoh/youre_in_a_room_with_100_boxes_99_of_them_contain/c7fbgqc">learned how to play it</a>. I hope these instructions don’t knock something important out of my brain!</p> <blockquote><p>The number indicates how many bombs are within 1 square of the number. A 3 indicates that 3 of the 8 squares directly surrounding it are bombs. Clicking a space with no bombs, which also has no bombs around it, is like revealing a 0. When this happens, the game automatically reveals all spaces surrounding the 0. If those spaces are also zeroes, it does this again. If it reveals a number, then it can go no further in that direction. That’s why clicking some spaces reveals large sections of the board with numbers at the borders of the newly empty section.<br/> Edit: Forgot to mention that when you determine which squares are definitely bombs, right click to flag them</p></blockquote> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/category/games/" title="View all posts in Games" rel="category tag">Games</a> and tagged <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/games/" rel="tag">Games</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/irishblogs/" rel="tag">irishblogs</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/minesweeper/" rel="tag">minesweeper</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/tag/reddit/" rel="tag">reddit</a> on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/12/til-how-to-play-minesweeper/" title="5:45 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2012-12-12T17:45:19+00:00">December 12, 2012</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/author/admin/" title="View all posts by Donncha O Caoimh" rel="author">Donncha O Caoimh</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-89498056" class="post-89498056 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-games tag-borderlands tag-borderlands-2 tag-games tag-irishblogs tag-michael-mamaril"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/05/finally-met-michael-mamaril/" title="Permalink to Finally met Michael Mamaril" rel="bookmark">Finally met Michael Mamaril</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/12/05/finally-met-michael-mamaril/#respond" title="Comment on Finally met Michael Mamaril"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/ocaoimh/2012/12/2012-12-04_00001.jpg"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209im_/http://ocaoimh.ie/ocaoimh/2012/12/2012-12-04_00001-1024x640.jpg" alt="" title="2012-12-04_00001" width="625" height="390" class="alignright size-large wp-image-89498057"/></a></p> <p>I finally came across <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Mamaril">Michael Mamaril</a> in Borderlands 2.

I’ve previously blogged about using a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209/http://ocaoimh.ie/2012/09/28/control-your-android-phone-with-a-ps3-controller/">PS3 controller with an Android phone</a> but I was curious how well my wired Xbox 360 controller would work.</p> <p>Plugging the OTG cable into my Nexus 7 and then into the Xbox controller was of course simple, and I had mixed results with the couple of games I tried. If you’re willing to root your Nexus 7 you can install another app that makes it easier to get things working but even with a stock Nexus 7 it worked.</p> <p>First off I tried Frodo and Vice, the C64 emulators. I thought they might have support for this. Unfortunately not. Luckily Mupen64 Plus, the N64 emulator, does support an external controller! I had to redefine a few buttons, and the left analog stick but I was soon leading the races in Mario Kart 64!</p> <p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="625" height="382" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055209if_/http://www.youtube.com/embed/-1Yw2aNAAls?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0"></iframe></span></p> <p>I tried Shadowgun: Deadzone next. It was my first time playing this multiplayer over-the-shoulder third person shooter. The game picked up my controller perfectly! All I had to do was invert the Y axis as I normally do. I’d like to say I kicked ass but I didn’t. I got one kill to six deaths before I gave up. Looks like a good game, but it must be next to impossible to play on a small screen.</p> <p>I wanted to try GTA III but I never got past the loading screen on my Nexus 7. Dead Trigger is next on my todo list. That should be fun.</p> <p>I used the OTG cable to connect an external USB flash drive to my devices too. Unrooted the Nexus 7 ignores it unfortunately but my Galaxy S II picked it up and displayed a familiar USB storage notification. Here’s a video of someone playing GTA III on an SGS III.
