Hope we'll have fully functional CHDK and SDM for A1000 one day
Apart from the focus-override, everything works with SDM as far as I know.

I'd love to try this your script but have no idea what to do with it?


Copy-and-paste the above script and save as a simple text named, for example, test.bas.

In ALT mode, load the script and press the shutter button to run it.

Does the camera crash or is a distance value displayed for a few seconds ?

If you are using CHDK, use this script version :

@title Get focus
sleep  2000
get_focus a
print  "Focus ", a
sleep  5000
end

OK!

I started the script
it said:


*** STARTED ***
FOCUS 502
*** FINISHED ***

I hope this will help.

edit: it's different number each time I start the script

Thanks.
At least we know get_focus works OK.

Try something like :-

@title Set focus
sleep  2000
set_focus 1000
sleep 2000
get_focus a
print  "Focus ", a
sleep  5000
end

That will probably crash the camera, if previous reports are correct.

it didn't crash the camera.
only difference is with one in the lower left corner says Get focus and with the other Set focus.

and two more important Bugs:
CHDK menus stay displayed even when you get out of them. they disappear only when I half press shutter.
Memory card space is always seen as 0M from CHDK

So did the camera focus and was the reported distance about 1000 ?

Unfortunately, I do not have time to work on CHDK as well as SDM so I do not know what the problem is.

I don't know if it focus. the green square didn't show if you think that.

set focus reports about 4000 and something.

get focus reports 400, 500 and something and 4000 and something.

!!! So I call this way developers that are willing, and have time, to help us make fully functional version of CHDK for A1000IS, please !!!

Anybody else that would like to have CHDK on your A1000 please join me in this appeal. Maybe somebody will have mercy if he/she see there's a lot of us.
Or we can collect something to reward him/her?

and Microfunguy, thank you. every step is a big step if we are staying in place otherwise.

First of all,hello Kulen.
Second,relaaaaaaaxxxxxx    :D
We are all trying to develop and help developers,so no need to rush.First of all,developers have so little time to spend on every camera.And there is a billion of Cannons to develop!
Then,we are all spectating and analyzing our results with using Chdk and posting them here,so developers can do something about that.There is no need to push guys,they are doing their best,considering their freetime.They have their own lives,beside jobs etc.
So post here everything you notice about chdk,and support these guys by giving them testing info,so they could develop faster!
Thanks for your contribution  :D
Cheers  8)

OK!

Sorry if you misunderstood me.
I'm not pushing anybody. I'm just thrilled something is happening, because there was almost no posts on this forum for a few months. So as I see it nobody shows any interest for CHDK on A1000. and why should anybody spend any precious time on it?

So I just wanted to point out that there are people that want to see CHDK on A1000, and they should show interest.
an I'm very tankful for every moment anybody spends on making it possible.

And about reward I mentioned - I just wanted to pass experience from some other forum, for mobile devices, where we were in similar situation. no developers and a lot of interest. so we all donated 5-10 Euros to buy 2 devices for 2 developers. and they did great job after that.
I also know that on some forums people collect bounties, a sum of money that is then given (or split if more than one) to a man that does the job.
I'm good for any solution if there's interest from enough people and at least one developer.

If suggesting something like that here is against Forum rules, Moderators please edit this post or warn me to edit it myself.

Thank you

Even though I do not have time (and money cannot buy additional time), why not make a list of the CHDK problems still to be fixed ?
