SX110IS - howto start porting

chdkj

@PhyrePhoX: May I ask you to update autobuild with attached diff?

Fixed with it:
- Swivel screen disabled in camera.h for sx110
- fixed vid_get_viewport_live_fb in lib.c (Zebra, Histogramm, Motion
Detection works now.)

Regards!
EDIT: Attachment deleted (final version released on Autobuild already)

Awesome work chdkj!
MD and histogram work very well 😀

Now just RAW working and I got everything I currently want for my SX110.

I just built a remote for my camera. I dont have currently accurate adjustable power source, but 3V isnt enought, CR123 charged to 3,7V works.

chdkj

Which type of remote did you build (wired/wireless)? I'm interested in this kind of thing...

OMFG
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE

awesome 😀

updated wiki!

chdkj

Yep.

Will check issues left some day...
If we had a working COLORMATRIX than we would close to first stable version of CHDK for SX110.

- ZSTEP_TABLE_SIZE, nTxtbl, dof_tbl: no idea how to get those values (but didn't think deeper about yet)
- GetBatteryTemperature: no clue. Believe this will remain a mystery until the end..

Please test as much as you can.

fiestaware

P.S. DNG is useable at least but colors are not how they should be...
P.P.S. Use DNG instead of RAW (--> you can find a lot of discussion about it in forum)

I'm not having any luck with DNG. Can't even 'select' it in the menu. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

fast 😀

only 2 bugs 😀 But only one real bug (RAW/DNG), because Battery Temperature isn't very important 😉

😛 Really great 😀

Not really about SX110 development, forgive me 😀
Well.. I was going to build wireless IR remote from parts I took from broken 10€ RC Helicopter. Everything is ok with those parts, voltage from the heli battery, the voltage output of ~4V for the heli motor, very small receiver. I modified the remote of it to send full power signal with single button press instead of adjustable output, locked it to work only with 1 channel out of 3, hook it up with 9V battery instead of 6xAA and set up USB plug on the receiver. 10 meters was the longest distance I tested and it worked nicely, even without direct line-of-sight.

Bought a cheap small plastic box for the remote and made a really stupid mistake with the size of it: the battery wont fit 🙁
So, I rethought where would I really need a wireless remote and concluded that its totally useless for me..

So I built a VERY SIMPLE wired remote. Black box, with black button in the middle. Nothing special or interesting with it really: battery, switch, USB receptacle and the way too big box for something such simple. I left a lot of space for future improvements (wireless!?).

Maybe our wiki writer Obihoernchen would like to update this: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CameraFeatures with SX110 and USB remote volts 3V not OK, 3,6 OK and Wake-up: no

nice construction ^^

edited the article dont know wheather this is right? min. 3,6V / Wake-up: No ?
I'll try to figure out the other values like TV and so on

Anyone know a way for me to hide chdk osd while i preview the already taken photos? I seem not able to find a way to hide 3 things till now.

Battery and battery data (% or voltage)
Time
Temperature (either one of the 3 or all of them).

I think i was able to hide them till 754

Hmm.. I believe the min. is 3,4V like many other cameras but I dont have proper means to test it accurately. 3,6-3,7 work but its not the minimum.
Put it this way: 3,6V OK / Wake-up: No

Thanks! 😀

Nice now i dont see battery info.
Still Time and temperature are still there

Wow what a nice cam!
I tested Motion Detection a little bit here is the result 😀

Between 80 and 90ms! Without any optimization!

Hmm.. nice :O I got "only" 100ms :/ Ill try again with some tweaking

Obihoernchen

I will test it with MD Test 3 too
but later...

Obihoernchen

tested MD a little bit more and tweaked some settings...

Result: 60ms 😛

<-- 50ms? I looks strange

PS: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CameraFeatures added ISO and MD Speed

lucmovel

My experience with MD isn't going so well. Which script are you folks using, and what parameters?
