Yes, finding and using terminal is not an issue. This is where the static IP needed to be set to

In Ekos Equipment Profile, select GPhoto driver and not Nikon. Save your profile and try again. I'd turn turn off Auto Connect in the profile. Check the Logs button in Ekos summer screen and make sure it is set to Verbose File logging and both INDI + Camera checkboxes are ticked.

After you start the profile, set DSUSB in the GPhoto driver, then go to Options --> Save Config.

Then click Connect and let's see how it goes. Locate (in the same Ekos logs window you can open the logs directory) and then attach the log file here.

“ifconfig eth0 172.16.25.125” will set the IP address to interface eth0. To make that an http interface you need to edit /etc/hosts using a text editor

172.16.25.125 server.example.com

Use searches from here on out with Linux command instead of Pi command or Astroberry. They are linux at the core. You will find that you are overloaded with pages then

I did all that. This is what happens. The shutter did not fire at al. And when I want to open log directory it says no such file or directory

Got the log file

Error downloading image from camera. You have an SD in the camera?

No. Should I have one?

Try it, see what happens. Do a good format first.

Which Nikon model do you have? I have the D3300, so the cheapest model of all, and that works great with direct camera>USB connection. I can find out the cable specifications.
DSUSB will just control the shutter, it will not download an image, as it is not capable of transmitting any data back to the computer. It is just a dumb shutter release. So if you have no SD card in your camera, your images will go exactly nowhere.

I don't have a DSLR, I just read the log file and saw error downloading from camera. Kinda figured it needed SD but did not know for sure. Thank you for helping El Corazon

I have the D5100. Regardless, no matter what I do it just doesn't work. It now fires 30sec or less. It crashed on me like 5 times though

No more idea? I guess it's Windows then...
