Experimental release!
http://www.mediafire.com/?b8th69v3u8q3bcu 400plus-20110306.rar

New dialog menu for custom settings. Press menu, then print button to get in the menu.

Added Self Timer shutter release. Timer can be set from 2 to 30 seconds. Set "DP Button" to "Self Timer" and use print button to activate it from main screen.

Activation of Factory Menu has been changed: Menu, Print button twice, and menu again.

Another great work!! Thanks again!!

Hi Sergei/Eduperez,
thanks for your job.
A question about intervalometer. I set Interval time at "2" sec and DP Button at "Self Timer" adn self Timer at "3 sec.".
I press print button and start the countdown 3 .. 2 .. 1 shot, ok, but how to have the successive shots? I understood that every 2 seconds I should get other successive shots or I didn't understand well?
Please let me know.
Thanks and regards.
Francesco

The "self timer" function just adds a (long) delay between the moment you press the button and the moment the camera takes the photograph; what you are looking for is the "interval" function: configure the delay between shots at the menu, and set DP to fire the "interval" function, not the "self timer".

Great, thanks now it runs. Just a curiosity: how to stop the shutter?

You have to move the main dial (change from P to Tv, for example).

Kekk_400D

Perfect, it runs.
But let me know: this is the version from Sergei, is there another one from you Eduperez or not yet?

For the time being, just use the latest version from Sergei; my version is just interesting for developers, and does not contain any interesting feature.

Thanks for the clarification.

My card slot is almost dead, but I hope I won't have to remove the card any more. I've already booted around 100 autoexec.bin's without touching any connector 😀

The PTP structure on 550D is identical to the one used by CHDK on compacts. That's nice, since the only changes I had to do was to change some names inside the code (besides file I/O stuff). The PTP structure/functions are probably the same on 400D.

Always thanks for your great job, Sergei.
Just a question about the new EAB feature and in particular I would like to ask you what do you mean exactly about M1 and M2 in the Extended AEB section.
Again thanks.

The new menu option is fantastic. Thanks for your (and all the other devs) hard work. My 400D is becoming a powerhouse! 😁

M1 and M2 is set-points for eaeb in manual mode. Let say M1 is set to 1/8 and M2 is set to 1/125.
When you start eaeb camera will take 5 shots (1EV between them). 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125.

Sorry Sergei - I am a little confused as well. Where do you go to set M1 & M2?

In the menu, under "Extended AEB"...

During the recent downtime of this forum, at least two people have expressed to me their concern about the future of this project; the fear of "awakening the beast", and having the project closed due to legal threats, is floating in the air. Source code and binaries must be on dozens of computers by now, and I am planing to create a local replica of both this thread and the repository at Google Code; in case of an emergency, I think we have all our bases covered... except for one aspect: contact.

So, here is my proposal: I can maintain a closed list with the emails of the people interested in this project. Should this thread disappear, I will use that list to keep people in touch, privately. Anybody who may be interested to be in that list, please send me a private message, with an email address not related to this forum.

Where can I get the latest "official" release of this software and the instructions on how to install/use? I was thinking that it had a name like 8888.rarC, but wanted to confirm with the experts. Also, is there any documentation of the full set of features and how to use them in that version?

Thanks,
Scott

try this, i tried to collect every information around and produce one-place howto.

for the documentation of the hack, it's still changing on a day basis, so no actual documentation should be expected for the time being...

@eduperez, @sergei, do you think it will be possible to add a help button when you're over a submenu in the 400plus menu. or maybe help will show after some timeout when staying over the submenu (like in mobile phones)

Yes! You cannot imagine how thankful I would be if we could have that for the 400D.

Looks like a nice idea, but unfortunately a bit out of my reach to implement it...
