In the app, it is in /opt/pykake/cameras/canon

In the internet, you can find it from here. There is only this one RC-1/RC-5 file (I suppose, those others are for videocams). I read from here, that RC-1/RC-5 remote should work also with 500D. So, the question is, is there same problems with other cameras from Canon too?

Do the IR sensor on the device (next from the camera button in top side) send the command? When you watch it trough the camera (from screen, not from finder), you should see the blinking light. If the light is not blinking, you need to restart device to get communication between pyKake and Lirc work.

Yeah, that would be nice, but I can't do it (or I can, but I need that wireless widget to do so and I think i don't get one)

State of pyKake, it is still in extras-testing, so if you have time, follow these and give it a vote

Good work. Works fine with my canon 350D.

Can you add timelapse function to pyKake? (making N photos every X minutes/seconds).
Look at film gallery made this way.

Cant get it to work with my Canon EOS 50D
But in live view mode watching the IR sensor doesn`t give me any blink or action at all so maybe the app itself didn`t send IR. I rebooted the device after install.

Yeah, that could be very nice add-on and it will be there in future I just can't exactly say when I start to do it, just now the summer is so hot and nice, so I had to enjoy it but soon

Ok, so there is no IR sended from device? It should be, so please, if you have time do this small test and send the result here:
  1. Go to xterm and change to root (you need to have rootsh to do this)
  2. Now start the LIRC daemon, in xterm type:
    /etc/init.d/lirc start

    (This should give message Starting lirc daemon: lircd.)
  3. If Ok, we will list the remotes available, type:
    irsend "" "" list

    you should see list of remotes in use, like NikonDSLR, CANON-RC1/RC5 etc.
  4. If Ok, test the remotes, so select the remote you need and type:
    irsend send_start <remote> <command*>
    *) Commands:
    Canon: S, Nikon: shutter, Olympus: capture, Pentax: Capture (remember the caps!)
  5. If Ok, take the camera and look trough live view, do you get the continuous blinks from ir sensor (you can also test do the camera take photos in this way or not). If you don't get that IR signal in this point, the problem is in LIRC or in IR sensor.
  6. Ok, now just to stop the signal:
    irsend send_stop <remote> <command>
    and close the daemon:
    /etc/init.d/lirc stop (you get message about stopping it)
    you can return to user mode (type exit)
If you get any error messages during the test, send them here (or PM to me). If the IR works like it should, the problem is in code, so run this in xterm (as an user) python /opt/pykake/pykake.py and if you get any error messages to terminal (you should if the upper LIRC test works correctly), send them to me (here or PM). Thanks for your time

I get the same output as deanmz. I have the same problem, no infrared signal being emitted from my n900 for Pykake.

Shutter works and Irreco Widget works also.

Regards,
Fred
