SD980 beta release

[Dabossajk]

Folks,

I'm up and running with the CHDK on the SD980 thanks to fe50 and RaduP - and now I'm working on getting the USB remote trigger to work.  RaduP have you (or has anyone else) tried that on the 980?  I enabled remote triggering and then selected the simple remote script.  Hooked up 3 AAAs in series to pins 1 & 4 of the mini usb, switched the pack on....and (drumroll) the camera focused but didn't fire. 

Thanks!

Strictly, it is pins 1 and 5.
Anyway, it is the outside pins.
It is possible that you have them connected the wrong way around.

the camera focused but didn't fire. 

Use a USB cable plugged into your PC as the source for +5V.

That will show if your switch is faulty.

I tried it with the simple basic script, remote or something like that, and it worked. Can you try it too?

How can I help to make chdk compatible to my canon with firmware 1.01C?

[RaduP]

Well, one thing you could do, if you have some electronic skills, is to try to get the firmware out of the camera..

This could be too difficult for me.
Is there no way to get the firmware from Canon or elsewhere?
What about a downgrade?

No, there's no fw update from Canon for the SD980; downgrading is not possible.
The udumper could be modified for the SD980 to dump the fw out of your camera...

[RaduP]

I doubt it would be easy to modify the udumper, because the SDwrite function doesn't seem to work like before, even when used after CHDK has started. I guess someone more experienced than me must take a look at it.

Any news on CHDK for SD980IS? I get the black screen which requires the battery be removed. I am trying to learn, if there is something I can do to help please let me know.

Hi
What firmware version do you have?

[anda2k]

Hi.
Just tested the CHDK on my brand new Ixus200IS. Scripting works perfectly, thanks for that. But how can I disable raw image writing? I don't wont them(because non of the mentioned tools in FAQs can read them). There is no other menu except Script menu available. Is that right or is my 'back' menu item not working?

On most cameras, the func/set button takes you directly to the script menu (and back doesn't work if you get to it that way). The menu button should take you to the full CHDK menu.

[RaduP]

No other menu except for the script menu? How do you get to the main menu?

Hi, first of all thanks for making this posible on SD980.
Does this phone support automatic booting from SD cards bigger than 4GB?

Hi

I tried to look at the data in adobe bridge but it did not state a version.  However I believe when I went to firmware it stated 1.0.1.0 to 1.0.0.0

I will confirm that tonight.
