How can I enable external USB control for the go pro.
I have successfully connected to the GoPro using the demo script "gopro-wifi". After which, I can deliver commands that update the camera/do an action. However, whenever I try to enable external usb control, the gopro status does not update. I would like to power and control the GoPro through the USB. How can I do this?
First, I installed the go-pro demo library from the go pro website.
Then, I ran the "gopro-wifi" demo which connects to the go pro using wifi.
Then I used the commands as specified in the HTTP 2.0 spec to command the go pro. Most of these commands (shutter start/stop, set date/time) worked except for the one that enables external usb control. The reason I know this doesn't work is because when I send the status command, the field for external usb control is marked as disabled.
My application is to command the GoPro Hero 10 Black with the commands as defined in the HTTP 2.0 spec through usb instead of wi-fi as the spec says its possible.
thank you now we all can under quite clear about the outside of the box gopro side, you may be best to continue to ask at github where others can help further,
The GoPro is built to accept commands via wifi since it will allow it to work with other wireless devices they sell - such as the wireless remote and the Volta handgrip etc.
As far as I'm aware, the USB port is not built to allow input requests.

You will require the GoPro connect. Swipe down on the back LCD screen. Then, swipe right and tap [Connections]. And, then open [USB Connection] and select [GoPro Connect].
