Thanks for your great job.

The programm is working perfect. All functions are available. The average frame rate is 6 fps. Scripts are also ok.

The CHDK PTP interface and the logical event functions are a quantum leap in the history of CHDK!

rudi from the german chdk forum was so impressed by the PTP interface that he has made a version for the A590 101b.

And then there's a small thing:

The chdkcam program has a small incompatibility to the trunk version.
set_capture_mode -> trunk version
set_capture_mode_type -> necessary for PTP version

Thanks for the explanations.

I've checked the unnamed events for the a720 and found the right events for keyboard unlock: 0x1184 and 0x1185 (with blocked power button)

edit: For the A590 we can also use 0x1184.

But we can unlock it using simple script (value is only for a710):
post_levent_to_ui(0x1144) // unnamed event, only for a710
0x1143 value also unlocks keyboard, but blocks power button.

Unbelievable... How did you find out?! (I cannot find it, even knowing what to look for...)

Using script with loop, something like:

for i=0x1100, 0x1200 do
print(i)
sleep(1000)
post_levent_to_ui(i)
click("menu")
end

If camera menu opens, goal is reached. If camera reboots, or shutdowns with "E00" message, or low battery icon starts (stops) blinking, goal is near.

Thanks, I got it after all (for the record, it's also 0x1184 on this little Ixus).

It'd never cross my mind to expect, and look for an unnamed (!) event that would mysteriously unlock (!!) the keys! I start to think -- and maybe I suspected it before -- that even the "H" in someone's signature is not all there is to it...

P.S. Regretfully, the later versions of chdkcam don't like my little camera and refuse to connect -- I must've patched something wrong. Strangely enough, mweerden's ptpcam connects flawlessly...
