Hi all, i`m complete newbie with CHDK, i`m developing book scanner for home use and found great script Spreads (
https://github.com/DIYBookScanner/spreads) which uses chdkptp to communicate with cameras. I have two cameras A590IS and A1100 that works perfectly (I mostly use auto yum and remote shoot) on windows xp with chdkptp (chdkptp-r658-win32.zip). I start A1100 with play button (not on/off) and it is ready to go, A590IS i start in play mode and it is ok (all in xp). In linux, lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS fresh install I have a couple of problems:
- A590IS won`t switch to rec mode if i start it as in xp, if I start it in rec mode computer does not see it
(.spreads)igor@bsu:~$ /usr/local/lib/chdkptp/chdkptp -i -c
connected: Canon PowerShot A590 IS, max packet size 512
con> rec
ERROR: switch failed
con 4>
- A1100 goes to rec mode but when I type shoot it just power off camera leaving it in rec mode and i get this output:
(.spreads)igor@bsu:~$ /usr/local/lib/chdkptp/chdkptp -i -c
connected: Canon PowerShot A1100 IS, max packet size 512
con> rec
con 1> shoot
ERROR: I/O error
___>
I get same results if i install CHDK 1.2 or 1.3 on cameras via stick.
Can someone please help me with this, I was searching for the problem on forum but couldn`t find the answer.
Thanx
