Helicon Soft Forum

Is there an API for Helicon Remote? I'd like to remotely trigger a sequence of shots using the StackShot rail and and a Nikon camera, using C++ or Python.

There's no API, at least for the moment. What scenario do you want to implement? Perhaps, it's already doable, or maybe we should support it natively.

I had a similar question! Essentially we have a CV python program that we would like to implement operation of the focus bracketing programmatically. Setting each bound, the number of shots, and then activating the "start shooting" button. I was able to use pywinauto to simulate keypresses and get the shots to activate, it still requires manual setup for the focus bracketing however. This is also problematic as the user cannot use the computer while the program is running as it needs to perform this multiple times in a row.

Is there any way to do this besides keyboard emulation?

Thank you for providing details about the intended workflow. We understand your idea, but unfortunately, at the moment we can't offer a solution for this.
