1.0.5 Not working with D5100

[ChrisMoses]

Hi,

I just thought I would let everyone know of a problem I encountered - apparently (at least on my machine) V1.0.5 will not connect to my D5100. V1.0.4 works just fine.

 

If anyone has a solution to this, please let me know.

 

If you, guyroch, would like me to turn on the log4net logging and send you the results, just let me know.  Also, please let me know where the log files are saved.

If BYN 1.0.4 works but BYN 1.0.5 doesn't then the problem is likely with the SDK for the 5100.

 

I am somewhat surprised that no other D5100 owners have reported the same trouble.

 

Have you tried rebooting your PC to force the low-level driver to be reset?

This is the first report that the new SDK files are not working with a specific model.

 

The D5100 uses the Nikon Type005 sdk files.

 

If you copy the files from the install folder .../Nikon/type005/*.* from the 1.0.4 installation into the same folder of 1.0.5 installation does it 1.0.5 connect.

 

If you copy them from 1.0.5 into 1.0.4 does 1.0.4 still connect?

 

Keep us posted please.

I tried restarting the camera and rebooting the computer multiple time. No luck.

Next I uninstalled BYN, rebooted and installed 1.05. It worked right away.

 

In terms of D5100 firmware - I have never done anything to it.  It is whatever version came with it.

 

I'll test copying the sdk files and let you know how it goes tomorrow.

 

Thanks

Wait, you uninstalled BYN and re-installed 1.0.5 and it worked?  If it works, then there is no need to copy any SDK files.

 

It may be enough to remember this issue in case it recurs.

Forget copying the SDK files as Rick said, 1.0.5 works and I'm happy with that.

My mistake - type - I removed 1.0.5, rebooted, and installed 1.04.

Sorry for the confusion

Okay, just to clarify...

 

1.0.4 worked with your D5100?

1.0.5 did not work with your D5100?

 

Regards.
