Script "routines" for building scripts.

I have perused this forum for a little while and have used some scripts from here. But for the most part the scripts are very "SET" toward a single purpose or function. That may be great but it would be nice if there were a thread dedicated to simple "ROUTINES" that could be chained together to create a script.

For instance:

A "START" routine
A "DELAY" routine
A "SHOOT" routine -
A "INTERVELOMETER" routine
A "ZOOM" routine
A "FOCUS" routine
A "FLASH ON/OFF" routine
A "SCREEN ON/OFF" routine for those thet can!
A "SHUTTER" routine for speed and priority
A "APERTURE" routine
Etc., etc., etc..

These should be prefaced with small descriptions or info but mostly be in a form that can be READILY copy and pasted into a "build" routine. Many scripts are pre-written and posted here but it is kinda a pain in the rear to read through 10 or 15 posts only to discover that the actual "SCRIPT" being discussed is NOT in the thread but somewhere else - like on Wiki or another website. Uhhggggg!

I will try to go through the threads here and get a few and compile them into a .txt file and post that here in THIS original post. That way as people add posts with their routines those can be added to the original file - say once a week or so depending upon the interest. If there are no posts in a week HERE then I will get the idea that there is NO interest in this and drop it.

Thanks to all who lurk and contribute here!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I will use these to make my own - well I'll try a few and see what I get.
I really have not found a script ready made for my particular use of Canon SDXXX cameras.

I need to build my own custom script and see where that goes.

Routines with explanations does help but I still do not quite understand the "uses" of the routines in differing cameras.

I have a few questions but think I will look, read and see if I can solve my own problems.

Thanks again.

Note that the link posted by Microfunguy applies to SDM. Some things are the same in CHDK, and others are not.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

I am curious if there might be a PC program - that will "run" a script and check for correct verbage? What I mean is - IS there a way to "test" a script WITHOUT placing it in a camera and running it?
