Chronos User Discussion / vnc or other remote desktop possibility?
« on: September 27, 2019, 04:11:00 PM »
Hello,
   I am wondering if it's possible to install vncserver or other remote desktop tools such that I can control the camera UI on my local computer. I understand that a ssh connection could be established with a usb cable and the camera is running a Linux os. Theoretically if a vnc serve is running on the camera, I could ssh tunnel to the vnc port and securely control the camera. I did try to install realvnc, but the script doesn't work, complaining ending ")" on line 1. It might be the issue of cross-compiling, but I am not sure. Any suggestions for remotely controlling the camera would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry, my bad. I was trying to use the ip address from ipconfig

With the correct ip address, the camera complains about "no matching cipher found".

Based on a hint from another thread in Soft Dev board, I used winscp which allows the connection after ignoring some security warning. So far, all is well. Thanks everyone for the help.
The last number in the IP address should be 1, not 21. So, the whole address should be 192.168.12.1

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried to ssh to the camera using Ubuntu on Windows, and it still refuses the connection. Please see the screenshot attached.

I tried to ssh to the camera using Putty and it failed to open the connection. The error message is attached. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Hi David,
    I am wondering if there is any additional setup I should perform to successfully connect to the camera via USB. I got the following error when trying to run the script. I am able to ping the IP (192.168.12.21 in my case). I am using software 0.3.0-RC1. The camera is Chronos 1.4, Moochrome, 32 GB.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Code: [Select]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 2878, in run_code

NoValidConnectionsError: [Errno None] Unable to connect to port 22 on 192.168.12.21

Here's the script as it stands. It requires a few libraries and needs to be run on a computer connected to the camera via USB.

The libraries it needs are: plumbum, parimoko

Thank you for the suggestions. When I tried the script, there is an error message saying something like the host actively refuses the connection. Is it because I am using software 0.3.0_RC on the camera? Do I need to check if the port is open for scp? Actually this script is the reason why I was thinking about using winscp to connect to the camera file system directly. Assuming the script works fine, does it mean that it should also work with winscp? Thanks again for helping out.

Chronos User Discussion / Connect to Chronos 1.4 via Ethernet
« on: August 09, 2018, 09:01:39 AM »
Hello,
   I am wondering if it is possible to directly connect Chronos using winscp after connecting it to PC via USB port. It would be helpful if I can manage the files on the SD card this way. I tried to connect using the IP address obtained from ipconfig, but the camera seems to refuse the connection. I am using software 0.3.0_RC on the camera.
   I also read from another post that a web api is being developed. Is there any update on that end? Thank you very much!
