If you are not using a USB switch, disable Synch mode.

That can be done from the Stereo menu or simply by fully-pressing the shutter button.

I will probably do more testings when I finish DIY-ing a sort-of-z-bar.
I am trying to figure out the measurements ATM.

I finished the z-bar and did some more testing. But the result was worse than last time.
The firing of the usb remote gave inconsistent results. At times, only one camera responded. Other times, the synch was out of phase. :(
BTW, inside the freshly installed SD, the Enable synch delay is disabled in the left camera and enabled in the right. Is it the correct setting?

the commercial remote should work fine.

You are doing something seriously wrong.
I know someone who took over 150 stereo photos yesterday at a canyon in Oregon, USA using the IXUS870.
Does it say FAST or DIRECT at the top of the screen ?

Yes.
The left camera flash fires immediately at 1/16th power, after a delay the right camera flash fires at full power to illuminate both photos.

Try connecting to PC with USB lead to trigger camera.

If you want it to prefocus first, you will have to insert and remove the plug very quickly.

If you are slow, the screen will blank, the blue LED light and photo is taken when you remove the plug.

Another thing I found out in my ixus 870 was that the plane of the cmos is not parallel to the back of the camera. I don't now if it is problem with my cameras only.

When the 2 cameras sit side by side, they capture more or less same field. But when one is inverted as in taking stereoscopic pictures, there is a discrepancy in the vertical field. Have to tilt the camera to make correction. Is there any setting that can fix it?

Hi MWeerd and SethV thank you very much for the noble efforts until now! Amazing! Just bought  an IXY DIGTAL 920 IS yesterday and today the ixus870_sd880 port for firmware 1.02B is already running flawless I must tell you. Here some of the issues I plan to investigate and implement for this project:
- IR wireless and wired RC over USB
- Converting CCD to NIR optical sensor (implies some new features or plug-ins will be required in CHDK)
Anyway it is Amazing!what is possible now already!

The preliminary diagnosis is problem with batteries of the new remote.
I'll switch batteries and continue the testing.
