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.

gem 'canonball'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install canonball

Applying for SDK access

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

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/")
