Dear all— thanks so much for this project!
So I’m trying to run Canon Basic script on my Canon M6, 1.00f. I first wanted to try the ‘clean overlays’ script, but when that didn’t work I tried a ‘hello world’ which didn’t work either so I think I have a problem getting Canon Basic to run!
For setting up the cards, I referred to
https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Canon_Basic/Card_Setup. I’m on OS X so I used the Macboot utility. I tried two memory cards. The cards are FAT32, they have the script.req and an extend.m which contains the hello world from
https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Canon_Basic. When I try to dump the disk contents it seems like the “SCRIPT” string got written to the header (see below).
I’ve tried a 64GB card formatted with Apple Disk Utility (the camera formats it to Ex-Fat instead) and a 4GB card low-level formatted in Camera (in this case the camera does format as FAT32).
When I turn on the camera, go into image playback mode, and press the Q/SET button, nothing happens. Note that this camera does not have a FUNC./SET button as described on the wiki. I tried some other buttons like M-Fn but no results yet.
I know that people have used scripts on this camera so I must be doing something wrong! Who has some ideas on what I could try?
Thanks so much,
Eric
