SX200IS and scripts
« on: 14 / October / 2009, 06:04:00 »

Hey there,

CHDK seems to be working generally well on my SX200IS but I am having "issues" with scripts.

I have only tried one or two simple time lapse scripts, I thought it would be best to try something simple to start with.

I can load the script, the options for the script become available to me, I can change the options it I want to.  I then press the shutter button, which I think invokes the script.  And the camera does not a lot of anything for about 2 seconds and then powers off. The lens does not retract but the screen goes blank and no lights etc.

I don't think this is a feature, so am I missing something?  I used whatever build is on the autobuild server as of yesterday.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Tom

@Thickey

You'll probably get more/faster help if you include the script that fails for you (with params used)

AFAIK, after starting any script you should see it's name/output @bottom left of the screen  ???

hth,

I have tried 4 or 5 different scripts..  put them in the scripts directory on the SD card and called the first one test.bas

I got the script from here somewhere... but i have put the code below....

i'm also having problems with scripts. Sunset_16.lua says me that i don't have ''util.lua'' but i have it, it doesn't find it. And ultra intervalometer doesn't even let me choose any parameter, from the moment i choose the file, the camera stops working. Do you have this problems also? i really want to make timelapses, anyone know what i can do?

I have the same issue with the lightning/motion detection script, I "load it from file" and then the camera becomes somewhat unresponsive, the scripts menu freezes. I had to use my computer to delete the script so that everything would go back to normal.

EDIT:
I realized I did not have the latest version, I downloaded the latest MD script and it works great but this issue still happens with some other scripts.
