I know its been a bit quiet here for a while i just wanted to say thanks again!
Finally got a camera up and working and got your script working too!!

I actually bought a IXUS185 to map with as its advertised as a ELPH180/IXUS185 and only after struggling for some time did i realize that its not the same thing the ELPH is actually the IXUS170! stupid Amazon!

Maybe you guys can give me a idea of a good 20mp camera thats the size of a IXUS185? it fits into my AR wing so nicely! or is there any other way?

@waterwingz could you please also help me my display keeps switching on and off on the SX240HS that i finally got the CHDK working with your script i set display to off but it keeps switching on....

I have a blind port for IXUS 185, firmware version 100a.
I have no such camera, so nothing has been tested yet.
If you still have this camera, and if the camera has fw 100a, I can send you a test version.

You can use the ACID application to determine the firmware version.
