Nice, ERR99 ! I have 101A and it felt really good to play around in chdk again.
- With the camera powered off and turning on to play mode via the PLAY button, the lens extends into shooting mode as though the power button were pressed.
- When in Av mode, after entering and exiting the chdk menu, the aperture changes to seemingly random values (i.e. it was F2 when entering, 5.6 or 8 after exiting, as though the control ring was both navigating in chdk and also changing aperture values at the same time). The same goes for other manual modes, where the shutter speed will be drastically different after exiting.
- the camera's built-in histogram really gets in the way when in the chdk menu, maybe there's a way to disable that automatically when in the menus
- sometimes the entire menu (and CHDK) system just vanishes when navigating downwards in the main menu. At first it looks like it's exited ALT mode, but then after further presses the menu seems to come back.
I have here a new build for 101a. This should fix issue 1 (Powerbutton/Playbutton handling).
For issue 2, i changed the Jogdialtask blocking code. It think it works now better (not all Jogdial events are queued and send to the camera after leaving altmode). But it is still not perfect, because one single jogdial event is still passed to the camera. I try to find a solution for that. 😉
Issue 3 is camera related. The best way to avoid this, is to enter playmode. In this mode the original firmware does not schow the histogram. That sometimes the menu disappears is (more or less) normal. The CHDK display output was then overwritten from the canon dislplay output. Simply push a button, or use the jogdial to force a redraw of the chdk menu to workarround that.
So here is the update 101a Version:
