Key exchange

Hi,

I have just repaired a Canon G12 (lens) but the func/set key do not work anymore.
I can still take pictures but I sometimes need to use the func/set key to make changes...

So, I wonder if I could modify the chdk source code to exchange my func/set key with another one that I use less often.
I manage to configure the autoboot of chdk (mendatory to use chdk that could not be manually load without the func/set key...)

After some try to modify some kbd files and compilling the modified sources I did not manage to exchange the keys as expected.

But considering the various kbd files I found in the sources, I certainly did not modified the right one.

Could someone give me a hint of the file (files?) I have to modify ?

Thank you in advance,

AA

The file you want is kbd.c in your G12's chdk/platform/g12 folder.   Modify the function kbd_fetch_data() so that it checks for the bit associated with the key you want to remap in the key array pointed to by *dst,  masks that bit if  its found,  and then set the bit for the FUNC/SET button instead.    The keymap[] structure in kdb.c will tell you the necessary bits and offsets.

Thank you for your answer.

In fact, I did try to modify the kbd.c file.
But (certainly because of my misknowledge) it did not worked.

I was thinking of replace the KEY_SET by the KEY_METERING.
So I exchange the 0x00002000 values.

Is it the move that had to be done ?

Could you give me an example, if not ?

Thank you aggain,

Unless someone jumps in here today pointing out a mistake, I'll code this and test tonight.

Tested this on my G10 (with suitable mods for the different keymap).  This version should work for your G12.

Code: [Select]
#define KMETER 0x00040000
#define KSET   0x00002000

void kbd_fetch_data(long *dst)
{
    _GetKbdState(dst);
    _kbd_read_keys_r2(dst);
    if ((*dst & KMETER)==0) *dst = (*dst|KMETER) & ~KSET ;   
}


Works well.

Well done !
It is working !
Thank you very much.

I could not have found the "void" part.

I have lost my metering key but it is a price to pay  :)

There is a way to fix that too.  Just change the code so that a short press of the metering button is treated as a metering button press,  and a long press (i.e. press & hold) of the metering button is treated as a Func/Set press.

Modify the patch you made to start a counter that increments while the metering key is pressed.  When the key is released, check the value of the counter.  If it's below a certain value then simulate a press of the metering key.   If it's above that value, simulate the press of the Func/Set key.

It is a very good idea.

I will check the doc to see if I can write that kind of code.

Thank you.

A hint: kbd_fetch_data() is called once in every 10 milliseconds.
