Hi folks. I have a Powershot SX IS and want to shoot regularly spaced images to make a time-lapse movie. To that end I downloaded the Intervalometer script. However, I can't get it to work.
The instructions say copy it to your SCRIPT folder. Mine was named SCRIPTS, but that doesn't matter, does it? Anyhow, continuing. Install and boot CHDK, enter <ALT> mode, press FUNC/SET to bring up a menu. So far so good. Then I'm to select the first item "Load Script from File..." (using FUNC/SET?), but nothing happens except the menu blinks. I saw that default.bas was 0B so I copied interval.bas into it; same behavior.
It's also OK if there's a laptop running Linux or XP controlling the exposures via USB. Is that possible? Thanks.
My file layout is as follows (the card is mounted on /media/CHDK):
