FlashAirSync

A simple automatic file synchronisation script for Toshiba FlashAir devices.

FlashAir Auto Sync, copies all images from flash air card when it is available and drops them in a local folder.

Requires PHP 5.4 CLI

Pass Configuration variables by command line e.g.

php FlashAirSync.php --flashairip=192.168.0.2

Details

If the camera isn't online, it quits. If the camera goes offline during the processing, the next time it will do a full update.

It only copies a file once.

Deletions on the camera will NOT propogate to the target - camera space is tight so you are free to delete files there without losing the off-camera copy.

If you delete a file from the target directory, that deletion WILL propogate to the camera because the assumption is, it's a junk image you don't want, so no need for it on camera either.

Modifications on the camera will NOT propogate to the target - you're not modifying images on the camera in any meaningfull way.

Modifications in the target will NOT propogate to the camera - the camera will always have the "original".

FlashAir Operating Mode

FlashAir cards normally operate in host mode, that is, they appear as a Wifi Network to which you connect.

However they can also operate in Client mode (aka Station mode), that is they connect to your existing network and you can access them by IP address if you have your existing wifi router/api assign a fixed IP to them.

See the extrud3d link, and https://flashair-developers.com/en/documents/api/config/ for details.

In order to delete files on the card (when they are deleted on the destination directory), UPLOAD must be enabled in the FlashAir config file also to turn on the upload.cgi API.

Sample config which puts card in wifi client mode (so it connects to your existing wifi router/access point), with upload enabled the config file is SD_WLAN/CONFIG on the sdcard, just edit then turn off and on the card to reload.

flashairsync's Issues

Pass parameters as arguments rather than hardcoded into script

Hi There,

I have started using this script for synchronising files. Thanks for your work on this.

I wondered if you would be interested in some contributions? I have noticed some issues that I would like to fix. I can work independently, but it might be better if I could add the improvements to your script.

The first part of making this work would be to change the script so that the arguments are passed into the script rather than hardcoded. Would you be open to a pull request that addresses this issue?

.Force_Update file gets deleted even if Flashair is offline

Currently if the transfer gets interrupted and the .Force_Update file gets set, the next time the script is run, the .Force_Update file is deleted regardless of whether the flashair is online.

I will submit a fix for this shortly.

Compile-Error

Hi,
using your script on MacOS I get an compile error located in line 190:
// Else normal file
$Day = ($r[4] & 0b0000000000011111);
$Month = ($r[4] & 0b0000000111100000) >> 5;
$Year = (($r[4] & 0b1111111000000000) >> 9)+1980;

  $Seconds = ($r[5] & 0b0000000000011111) * 2;
  $Minutes = ($r[5] & 0b0000011111100000) >> 5;
  $Hours   = ($r[5] & 0b1111100000000000) >> 11;

Seems that something is different on Mac dealing with the date arithmetic. Any idea what I've to change?

I've to admit that I've no experience with php - so it might be quite obvious…

Best regards,
Ingo

operation mode for Mac OSX

can you give information about to change operation mode to client mode for OS X too?

thank you
