Any Labs commands supported in BLE Open GoPro? #1224

Are any of the commands exposed by the GoPro Labs firmware also exposed via the Open GoPro BLE API?

For example, there are some commands that have 1:1 mappings between the two APIs, e.g. r4 and Video Resolution (2) = 4K (1).

However, there are some other commands such as w55 (white balance to 5500K) where there doesn't seem to be a BLE equivalent.

I understand that certain commands like the precise timecode synchronization won't have a BLE equivalent. I'm just curious about these settings related commands where you want to just read and write a byte.


The use case that I have is that I'm building a multi-gopro rig and I've written an iOS app to manage the cameras using BLE. I can connect, sleep, record, view status, and send basic configs to all cameras at once. However, I know I'll at least need to show a dynamic QR code if I want to get precise synchronization. So I suppose if those extra settings aren't exposed in BLE, then I can just append them to the end of the QR code. But if would be nice if all the settings could be queryable by the app.

I guess a related question would be, is there a way to set a variable from GoPro Labs QR codes that could be readable by Open GoPro BLE? I think that would at least be useful so that I can show the QR code to each camera in the rig and then verify in the app that each responded properly.
