GoPro Hero 4

[diarmaede]

Has anyone been able to control a GoPro Hero 4 using LabVIEW?  Given all the control code available from 3rd parties, I think there must be a way to do it, but I have not been able to figure out a solution.  Ideally, I would like to control it over the USB cable, but controlling it via WiFi is a possible option as well.

I would prefer to use a GoPro Hero 4 Silver, but I could use the Black instead if there is a good reason to do so.

I am using LabVIEW 2012, Version 12.0f3 (32-bit) with Vision Aquisition Software dated February 2014 and the Vision Development Module 2012, running the Full Vision Development version.

Thanks in advance.

Hey dairmaede,

Cursory research shows that the USB port is used for charging only, but I did find some cool info about controlling it over wifi, and you can certainly use HTTP commands in LabVIEW.

Here's the article that talks about what this would look like:

And here's the command list:

From there you could use LabVIEW as an HTTP client to send the proper commands to the camera.
