Talk to your HxD over USB/FireWire? Reverse engineer!

[jrydberg]

Hi!

I'm getting tired of Phocus lacking focus stacking features, so I'm thinking that it might be possible to reverse engineers the USB/FW protocol that Phocus uses to talk to the camera with.

Do anyone know anything about the protocol? Has anyone managed to talk to the camera through a python script or similar?

I don't know the specifics, but I did notice that Hasselblad is making the firmware source code available: http://cdn.hasselblad.com/firmware/x1d/1.20.1/X1D_v1_20_1.tar.xz Maybe this could be of some use.

Ergh. Sorry, you said HxD... ignore my previous post.

The source is also available for those as well.

Looking at that tarball it seems to just be the source of the open source libraries they use, not the source for the actual firmware.
