I guess I should switch to box.net - no annoying pause before downloading.

Can you somehow flag this file as Alpha so that somebody does not find it somewhere down the road and wonder why it does not work ?  Would have changed the filename myself if I'd thought somebody would be good enough to mirror it for us.

Camera seems to work normally.
I can access the script menu but it shuts down randomly.
Correction: I think it doesn't shut down but isn't visible anymore. When you press a button it appears again.
Starting scripts with the shutter button works.
When you access the menu with DISP and MENU it's the same. You can navigate through the menu but it vanishes from time to time.
Battery icon in the middle shows 0% all the time.
The live histogramm flickers from time to time, just like all of the green overlay items.(Maybe it's supposed to be that way. I don't have any experience with CHDK firmwares.)

Not much time today. I will report when I've done more testing.

Thank you Rulen and waterwingz!

just downloaded beta for firmware 103b..

it starts up, it looks like all options are available..

but i cannot find a way to make the camera use the big partition to save media on, so it doesn't have the space to save raw files..

what have i done wrong?

thanks,

Tommaso

Do the menu's dissappear in shooting mode or playback mode or both ?  My nemisis RefreshPhysicalScreen() might be coming back to haunt me still.

Easy one - you just need to calibrate the camera by changing the battery min and max voltage using the OSD parameters menu to go to the Battery menu. Rulen report good results setting Battery MAX Voltage (mV) to 4200 and Battery MIN Voltage (mV) to 3200.

At some point I will make it so the defaults work without this fiddle,  along with better default screen positioning for the OSD items and a better default set of colors.

Hmmm - I can get lots of raw files on a 2G card so I assume you have partiioned your card into a small FAT16 partition and a larger FAT32 parition ?

There are many (probably too many) posts on the forum on this topic.  Here's some good ones I found :
http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6173.0
and this
http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Bootable_SD_card

At what point does the SD940 not match what you see there - I don't have a big SD card so have not tried this.  I guess that I really need to buy a big card and try it out.  I have a whole bunch of 2G & 4G cards so I have not been in a hurry to do that though.

You don't need a big card, you can partition a smaller card with a FAT16 and FAT32 partition to test.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Yea, I know - we talked about that a while back -  http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5855.msg59916#msg59916.

Still hasn't bubbled to the top of my "to do" list as I still don't have a need for it.  I'll take a look this week if tommasoferrarese can't solve it using the existing forum / wiki info.
