I am using SDM which behaves rather differently to CHDK.

After the shutter has been pressed the raw data and a header file are immediately sent to the PC without saving on the camera.

That process is quite fast depending on file size and card speed.

The memory card should have been low-level formatted in the camera beforehand, as recommended by Canon.

On the PC, they are converted to a DNG file.

The JPG left on the camera is tiny, only about 10k (!) and is instantly deleted.

I do not know how the other PTP clients deal with this.

I have a question about getting the Lua console to run on ptpcamgui. I have tried on two computers (Win7x32 and Win7x64) with two cameras (SX220HS and SX30) to run the lua console, and it freezes ptpcamgui. I resorted to using CHDKPTP to communicate in lua with the cameras and it works fine, but I would like to have the functionality in ptpcamgui since it's so useful for everything else.

After the freeze (spinny wheel, prog not responding) if I close ptpcamgui then ptpcam is still working in task manager. I am wondering if I missed something as far as how it works. Here's my info from the PTPCAM console:

Btw,

is there any reason why we not activate the PTP support for all cameras in camera.h?

It is in CHDK.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

Thx.

You're right. Sorry, I haven't seen the entry. So we can delete all entries in the platform_camera.h files for a better overview.

Hello lads !

Knowing we've just hit trunk1654, may I ask if the ptp handlers & usb descriptors are implemented generically, or does each platform (already ported) needs its own implementation of the CHDK ptp extension to enable live preview with mweerden's .Net app ? 

I'm trying to establish some communication between mweerden's CHDKPTPRemote and an A430 (which is currently-ish being ported), but since the app seems to be designed for overlaid previews, it asks for a 512-bytes-capable PTP-class endpoint, which clearly isn't implemented in the current A430 port [1] ...hence my previous question. :-[

Since I'm a newbie of the most blueish kind, I guess the implementations I'm talking about may be a CHDK-DE "exclusivity"... aren't they ?  ???

Thanks, and best regards.  :)


[1] I haven't seen anything like it when enumerating the A430's PTP interface descriptors.  ;)

This question doesn't really make sense to me.

CHDK PTP protocol has certain commands. These are supported generically in CHDK code. A build for any camera should be compatible with with any CHDK PTP client implementing the matching protocol version. You don't need to worry about handlers and descriptors... although I suppose it's possible that the a430 is old enough that it's weird in some way. If you can upload/download with chdkptp or ptpcamgui, then CHDK PTP is implemented and working properly. Neither one will give you live view however.

The live view stuff is completely disabled in in the CHDK release branch, to avoid having an under development protocol "released". There is some of this code in the trunk, I don't know if it is compatible with whatever version of CHDKPTPRemote you are trying to use.

Properly supporting live view is on the list for the next release, but is not finished. The protocol will likely change from whats in the trunk. I keep meaning to do some work on this Real Soon Now. Maybe this weekend...
