Trying to get automatic camera control to work with my GoPro Hero 4 Session. I've got Wireless enabled and loaded up with my GoPro's network information, and Automatic Control enabled and set to AccelZ for bench testing. Turn the GoPro on, activate WiFi, then fire up the RaceCapture. I can see from the system status page that I'm connected to the Client (and can see this in scripting) but I don't get a trigger to start recording. Looking at the scripting, this appears to be where things break down:

[cam_ctrl] Auto-starting camera
[esp8266] connect_cb failed with msg: ERROR
[ESP8266 Driver] Failed to connect channel: 1
[ESP8266 Driver] Failed to connect: 10.5.5.9
[wifi] Unable to create Serial for Camera Control
[ESP8266 Driver] Socket closed on channel 1

I've included the all the scripting below - can anybody point in the right direction to getting this to work properly?

It looks like your camera isn't accepting WiFI connections.

The Hero 4 is not really supported with automatic control, because its wifi will auto-turn off without a ping request.

One of our community members created an alternate mechanism for starting/stopping newer cameras, using Lua scripting. You can test it out - discussion in our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/autospo ... 8799170617
