Hi waterwingz,
thank for your quick reply.
FYI - SDM 1.86 contains GPL'd code. The source should be available on request and I understand it has been made available on at least one occasion to someone who asked. Note that once the resulting code is on public distribution, as 1.86 is, the GPL contains no language that permits the source not to be made available just because it's still in development.
I fully agree - Since SDM is also GPL the source code should be available also in steps between new releases.
I think best for me would be to stick with CHDK, since the I save time until the cams get ported to SDM.
In my case the upside down menu is not that important, but I also believe it should be possible to change the code of CHDK to provide this feature as well.
In the next time I will start my development and my I find some time to look for it. Of course I will present any development to the community as this is the idea behind OpenSource and CHDK.
It might be needed but I don't believe anyone has tested and reported it here. The necessary code is available in the 1.3.0 branch of CHDK but it needs to be enable on a "per camera" basis. Doing so really only requires somebody to volunteer to test it as the CHDK dev's do not own every camera that is ported to CHDK.
Since I have a pair of S110 at hand, how can I help to check if precision sync is needed? What I have to do exactly?
(I never did this before so some kind of step by step guide would be highly appreciated).
In around two weeks I will get an old cathode-ray monitor I think it will be needed - am I right?
As you plan to communicate between a microcontroller and your camera, you might find more existing code (including Lua script level capability) in CHDK and you will almost certainly find more technical support here if you need it.
I am not familiar with lua scripting, since I am a C++ programmer, so I prefer to do things directly in the CHDK source code using C / C++.
@Microfunguy:
Already, it is totally different, especially the gui.
In fact, it is so different that it no longer works !
What do you mean if you say it no longer works? What does not work any longer?
The S110 has not been ported to SDM, someone is waiting for a test build.
I know, he is the owner of the german stereo forum, I am in contact with him and he needs the base version for S110 to start testing
