It would be fairly easy to modify the camera side script used by remoteshoot to turn off the display periodically. You can find the code in chdkptp lua/rlibs.lua rs_shoot

I'll postpone it, as it's not that critical right now

Do you mind getting back to the reboot thing?

I haven't succeed rebooting the camera neither by using

Code: [Select]

chdkptp -rnor

Code: [Select]

chdkptp -e"lua reboot()"
also I noticed that the camera (Reminder: Canon S110) doesn't fully support 'killscript' command and so it crashes and start shooting like crazy...

I will remind you that what I'm trying to do is to stop a running 'remoteshoot' in order to initiate another one without touching the camera.

Thanks, Nadav.

-r reads a rc file (chdkptp commands), it doesn't reboot.

You would need a -c to connect. If you are doing that, then I need more details

This does not depend on the camera, it depends on the chdk version. killscript is supported in the CHDK 1.3 development version, available from http://mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/

Hi nadavofi, hi all,

I am facing a similar "problem" and before I reinvent the wheel and invest hours of time, I would like to ask you if you could post you script?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,

Solino,
What exactly do you need the script to perform?
What kind of camera do you use?

Nadav,

thanks a lot for your fast response!

I am triggering the camera via USB using the following code:
a = -1
repeat
   a = get_usb_power(0)
   if (a>0) then
      press("shoot_full")
      sleep(50)
      release("shoot_full")
   end
   sleep(100)
until ( false )

Not sure if this is the best way but it worked for me with my older Ixus.
What I need is to set focus to infinity (or some value, e.g. 20m) and lock the focus.
I would also like to set the ISO and shutter speed settings to predetermined ranges/values. This should (if I understood correctly) be possible with CHDK without using a script. But it doesn't seem to work properly.

I tried:
set_focus( 131535 ) // 65535
set_aflock( 1 )

but unfortunately it is not working for me no matter what mode I put the camera in.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Solino

I'm not sure it will be exactly the same since I run the LUA commands using chdkptp protocol instead of LUA script from within the camera, but this is the sequence I'm using:

this is all lua commands:

Code: [Select]

enter_alt();
call_event_proc('SS.Create'); call_event_proc('SS.MFOn'); - necessary for working with manual focus 
set_prop(222,0); - set IMAGE resolution
set_focus(65000); - set FOCUS (65000 is inf)
set_prop(272,0); - set WB
set_prop(102,1); - set Drive Mode

Hope this will be helpful

Great! Thanks!

I'll try to set it up within the next days...
Since I have no external client I am not sure if it will work. I first need some closer look at ptp. This discussion is the first time I came across it.

Thanks again,
Solino

call_event_proc('SS.Create'); call_event_proc('SS.MFOn'); - necessary for working with manual focus

This code will only work on some cameras and may actually crash on others. Better to use CHDK 1.3.0 and

Code: [Select]

set_mf(1)which will work for almost all cameras and should not crash for the few where it does not work. There is a version for 1.2.0 here : http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=11142.msg111229#msg111229

There is also a new function in 1.3.0 that lets you know which focus modes work on your camera - get_sd_over_modes(). I'll get some documentation added to the wiki in the next day or so.

Quote

Code: [Select]
set_prop(272,0); - set WB

Note that 272 does not work for all cameras. Some use 268, 270, or 271 for the same function. Use

Code: [Select]

set_prop(PROPCASE_WB_MODE,0); - set WB

to be camera model independent.

Also you can use the following link to look for and try out some other Prop Cases:

Code: [Select]
set_prop(PROPCASE_WB_MODE,0); - set WBto be camera model independent.

From lua this would be

Code: [Select]

props=require'propcase'
set_prop(props.WB_MODE,0)
...

If you are just setting one prop from chdkptp, it can be more convenient to do it like

Code: [Select]

=set_prop(require'propcase'.WB_MODE,0)

The propcase names can be found in the propsetN.h files https://tools.assembla.com/svn/chdk/trunk/include/ or in the CHDK/LUALIB/GEN/propsetN.lua files
