Canonball

Magic sauce ruby wrapper for canon EOS EDSDK. This is a wrapper for a C library that take photos and download and delete them from the camera.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'canonball'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install canonball

Before you can use this library you need to obtain the EDSDK native library from Canon. You can do so via their developers program:

• Canon Europe
• Canon USA
• Canon Asia
• Canon Oceania

Once you were granted access - this may take a few days - download the latest version of their library and follow the usage instructions.

This currently only works with OSX. You will need drop "EDSDK.framework" into "/System/Library/Frameworks/".

Take a photo:

camera_index = 0
Canonball.take_picture(camera_index)

Download photo(s):

camera_index = 0
Canonball.download_files(camera_index,"./photo_folder/")
