Making the camera go into playback mode is not enough, you also have to get it into the WiFi transfer mode. Is this possible to do through script?
Nice idea. Any hints where to find more about scripting keypresses?
I have an IXUS240HS (ELPH320HS) which is working with CHDK fine. It's not official yet.
I have tested the WiFi transfer from the camera to the PC. Even though it works well manually, I doubt whether this will work well with a "keypress" script. Keypress scripts are very prone to failing when conditions are not exactly the same every single time.
Every time I upload an image from the camera, it connects to the WiFi network. Connecting to the WiFi network and uploading the image doesn't always take the exact same time. When scripting I would have to build in a waiting time, but I have my doubts that this would be a fail safe solution.
Is there someone who has tapped into the WiFi functionalities through CHDK yet?
FWIW, I am effectively the lead developer of CHDK at this point. When I say CHDK doesn't do anything with onboard wifi (it doesn't), asking again is unlikely to get you a better answer....There may be eventprocs http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Event_Procedure or levents http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/LogicalEvent that could help you without any new CHDK code. I haven't looked much yet, but there do seem to be numerous eventprocs with names containing wifi, wireless and wlan. If you are up for some reverse engineering, you may be able to find a better solution.
I'm sorry I repeated the question, I wasn't aware you were the lead developer. I should have looked in your profile.
