As indicated in my previous posting the camera does take a shot. So it works fine with the USB cable.  Plugging and unplugging the cable does the same thing as pressing the button. When doing this, in my case, the direct-print (blue) LED is always off.
At the risk of repeating myself (and everyone) else,  the LED will only light when USB sync mode is enabled and 5V has been applied to the USB power pins.
 
When using "One Push"mode,  the camera behaves a little differently when sync is enabled.  With sync disabled,  it will do a "half press" when power is applied and a "full press" when its removed. With sync enabled,  it also does the "half press" when power is applied but moves immediately to a full press once the camera is ready.    The full press completes when power is released.

While these sound very similar,  you will notice one big difference.  When sync is enabled, the LCD goes black when the USB power is applied.  When sync is not enabled,  the LCD will stay on (or active).

Ok, only with the 5V applied to the USB power pins the LED will light.
I tested it just with a plain USB cable since I don't have the other.
Perhaps someone with this:

can test it with 5V applied to the USB power pins.

Sorry - I was not clear (again).  You did it correctly using a plain USB cable.

When you plug that cable between the PC and camera, you are actually providing "5V" to the camera USB port power pins (assuming your PC is on).  The PC is the power source rather than the battery in the link you provided.

Does not work, LED is not activated.

Doh! The source for capt_seq.c for both firmware versions of this camera has this line commented out :

Code: [Select]
BL      wait_until_remote_button_is_releasedWithout that hook,  USB sync will not work.

Thanks waterwingz!! I forgot to check that.

In attachment, a new patch and a compiled version for 101b.
This patch generates capt_seq.c using code_gen.

@nafraf,
Did you add this patch to the trunk?
Are you still working on  CAMERA_MIN_DIST/ CAMERA_MAX_DIST?

If you confirm that sync LED and capture overrides  are working with version that I posted previously I submit the patch :)

Patch includes CAMERA_MIN_DIST = 51, but CAMERA_MAX_DIST was not modified (52855). I'm still not sure about MAX, but I'm tempted to use default value.
Code: [Select]
#define CAMERA_MAX_DIST         65535       // Define max distance that can be set in _MoveFocusLensToDistance (allow override for superzooms - SX30/SX40)I'm not photographer, probably I'm wrong  :-[, but that value does not seems to be in mm as suggested in reply #917
