Wow - that's actually pretty exciting to see. Its fun to play a small part of this project with you.
When running chdkptp with the gui, I would like to have sort of a background thread that triggers the download as soon as the Arduino send a signal over the Serial Port. As said I could manage to read from the serial from within a while-do-end-loop, but this blocks the GUI completely, so I can't do anything meanwhile.
I am using the multicam module coded from reyalp in conjunction with chdkptp.
I suppose it is not a good advice to start chdkptp once for every single camera in a multi camera rig. Have you ever tried to iterate to the multiple connections that chdkptp can manage, without restarting chdkptp all the time?
Well, I will try to split the download task to multiple chdkptp instances, then I will post the results here.
Ah, all right, of course a timer! I am not known to serial communication. Let's say I query every 500 ms, what happens to data that is sent in between the cycles? Is it buffered on the Arduino side or how is this working?Thanks a lot!
My current understanding is that [without multicam module development] multiple chdkptp instances must be used to [uniquely] communicate with each camera via bus/device. ...then, when mains turned off, light sensor will:[Edit - not necessarily in this order ](i) trigger flash(ii) trigger dslr (iii) trigger chdk usbremoteHope to just need [comparatively] long shutter times and plenty of manual chdk manual control.
