I was wondering if someone could explain how you go about getting some type of functional "software" onto a device like a camera. I have a random canon camera (camera company doesn't matter, I'm just looking for the method as I will probably use a generic camera) but I want to upload my own software onto it. What software language can be used? And how do you make it.."work"? I have PHP/HTML/Javascript coding knowledge but not much besides that.. I don't mind hiring the work out, I just want to know the process of going about and doing it? Thank you!
Well, it is not that easy. Canon manufacturer must give public API or some sort of program to access your canon hardware. You didn't specify your camera, so I can't search on that. For most part canon does not support programming like that, and 99% you can't program in PHP, HTML. You may need to learn C++ or C or at least java. And some devices run android, in that case you can program in java.
Hmm well what if it was a generic camera from China? Pure hardware with very little/no software? Thanks!
why dont you get a camera you are sure can run Java to say the least, then work your way up from there. Or is this your personal camera you just want to play around with?
