Is it possible to tell CHDK to capture a photo with the digital output from the GigaPan-Imager?


I have ordered the GigaPan Epic 100 yesterday. (look at it: http://www.gigapansystems.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=GS&Product_Code=I-E100 ).

I need a schematic to make the digital output signal from the GigaPan compatible with CHDK.

here is the forum link:

And here are the most important infos:

"The Epic 100 image electronic shutter release works differently than the Beta units. It acts as a switch allowing current to flow between two of the conductors. It enables a gate on a NFET which allows current to be conducted through the channel from the source to the drain if there is a potential difference. The beta unit would output a 5 volt pulse for a duration of one second."

"When Options -> Expert Options -> Shutter method is set to "Remote port":
Y-R: Voltage spike up to 5v. Resistance drops, indeterminate resistance as my multimeter didn't display quick enough.
Y-B: As above.
R-B: Negligible/small voltage (0.01v), infinite resistance throughout.

>From this, I guess that R-B is the NFET gate you speak of, and the reason I see no change in resistance is because there is no voltage across the pins (in line with your above description)."


Das anyone have an idea? :'(

Well, look at this post about SDM http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3270.0.html  and checkout the link.

I am under the impression they are adding USB triggering option to Gigapan.

Have a read of the My Autopano Forum site for more information.

These instructions seem to be for the beta imager! It seems that its output is different to the new epic units!
