Most (if not all) cameras are incapable of outputting HDMI while in shooting mode.Does it work if you switch the camera to shooting mode without the script?
The 11 pin mini usb plug will have to be the thing to use then.
Hi waterwingz,Can the interval part of the script be bypassed and the camera be triggered through the USB with a CHDK cable instead?
Oops should have read the wiki a little closer. This is stated under features:shooting enable / disable via USB remote signal
Here's a link to a tutorial that shows how to use a flight controller to trigger a camera running CHDK based on distance intervals as the vehicle travels.http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/apm-to-chdk-camera-link-tutorialWould your script work with something like this?
I am very interested and do have the hardware to do the testing.
So what do you want to be able to do from the ArduPilot Mega ? Can you program that end? Simply telling the CHDK script to shoot is easy. Shutdown mode too. What about switching to video and back on command? Or zoom in / out? All possible from the CHDK end but I can't really help you (much) with programming the ArduPilot Mega unless there is more documentation somewhere online.
