CHDKPTP: Script works on camera itself but not with chdkptp

Hi there,

i got an errore trying to run a lua script on the camera with chdkptp. I am converting the working basic script to lua.

ERROR: A/CHDK/SCRIPTS/spektrum.lua:35: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 's' (a nil value)

Quote

--[[
@title Spektrum

@param w Schrittweite
@default w 20
@param s Schritte
@default s 15
--]]

while 1~=get_prop(6) do
   click("left")
   sleep(1000)
end

if 7~=get_zoom() then
   press("zoom_in")
   sleep(3000)
   release("zoom_in")
end

set_led(7,1)
sleep(3000)
play_sound(6)
sleep(2000)
set_led(7,0)

press("shoot_half")
sleep(2000)
f=get_focus()
release("shoot_half")

a=(f-(s*w/2))
e=(f+(s*w/2))
print("get_focus="..get_focus())

for f=a, e, w do
   set_focus(f)
   sleep(1000)
   click("shoot_full_only")
   sleep(1500)
end

I absolutely dont know why its not working with lua.

I just cut & pasted it and ran on my A1200. Runs without errors (although I had to comment out the 1~=get_prop(6) part on the assumption it's a different prop ( drive mode? focus mode?) on my camera).

I did start the script on the camera itself and it worked! It doesnt work with chdkptp and loadfile ;-(

prop6 is focusmode

Doh. AFAIK chdkptp does not read/use/understand the @param stuff in the script header. Put this at the start of the script :

Code: [Select]

w=20 
s=15

Hard to comment without a more detailed description of what it now doesn't do.

Jeeez, that was my mistake. Because i made an "onlineversion" of the script but accidently uploaded the wrong script.

Here is the clue:

If the script was written to be loaded from the CHDK script menu and expects
menu settings, you will need to manually set the corresponding variables, e.g.

con> .a=1; b=2; loadfile("A/CHDK/SCRIPTS/MY.LUA")()

Why couldnt i have found this earlier?
