I try wrote program like Fingalo
http://hem.passagen.se/fsmmal/CHDK/remote%20utils.zip to multi control (multibutton) Canon camera from PC program.
I am not programmer ,I was hear about Delphi language five days ago.....
My program using zlportio.sys library to communicate with LPT port, 20 buttons to send commands, near buttons SEND is 2 small windows with ACTION description and TIME (msec.), save konfig.ini file is to C:\
I know I know...program have dirty source code and I shoud use C++ ,but Delphi is simple to me-child programmer
Program work a little unstable like Fingalo version
Fingalo says:
"For ex. using press "zoom_in" you will have to stop zooming with release "zoom_in".
I tried to use the commands set_zoom_speed x and set_zoom x instead, but these are not working very well, the camera will shut down almost every time after giving these commands. There is a bugreport about that on the Wiki since June."
Program DOWNLOAD here:
chdk remote control.zip - 0.50MB(parmon.exe is a Paraller Port Monitor, to send command ,I use pin 2 LPT port,
if you send command "long" time you see-pin 2 green be red and green again)
