Too bad that I can't download it. Server times out EVERY time.
Ok, it seems to be a local problem with your internet connection.

I've added an alternative source for download (box.net) in reply #6.

It's actually a slow connection problem. I have 3 different ISPs that call out through 4 different networks (dialup number dependent). None of them are faster than 1.9k download speeds where I live. If a server says that file should get there in under 1 minute, and it takes 10 minutes, it assumes its a bad download and cuts it off. This happens lots of places on the net now. I can't even download the CHDK PDF manual from the CHDK Wiki because it times it out before its done downloading. Nobody cares about dialup users anymore. And they do everything in their power to make dialup users not able to access their sites or obtain any files. Don't bother telling me to get highspeed. I've already filed complaints with the Communications Commision for ten years now and nothing will be done to change anything. There aren't enough people living where I do to make it financially viable to get highspeed connections, so they never will. The next time that MSN or some other company demands that I download a 180 meg upgrade file for something, they know where they can shove it.  :lol

Thanks for the file. I hope this one works.

Looks like I'll have to wait for V3. All I get is an error box that pops up saying:

ptpCamGui 2.0.97 - Error
Different Versions: Current (supported)
ptpcam: 1.0 (2.0)
camera: 1.0 (2.0)


[edit]
Nevermind, I see that the ptp protocol was updated in revsion 1155 on the trunk-log. Downloading a new CHDK now.... (if it gets here).

[edit2]
Well, that was no fun. Now all I get is:

ptpCamGui 2.0.97 - Error
Different Versions: Current (supported)
ptpcam: 1.0 (2.0)

[edit3]
After reading google translations of the German forum I find that this is caused by overwriting the old files with the new. You have to install v2x into a new folder.

Now I'm back at square one, all I get are continual strings of (ignore typos, typed these by hand from reading the little console box, it no longer allows you to copy from it):

>> luar get_model() << script:65
65:ret:false (Length: 23)
>> luar get_model() << script:66
66:ret:false (Length: 23)
>> luar get_model() << script:67
67:ret:false (Length: 23)
>> luar get_model() << script:68
68:ret:false (Length: 23)

Etc.

I think I'm done testing this, nothing's changed, nothing works, and there's too little information to get past all the problems with trying to get it to work.

Hi NewbieToobie,

some questions:
- Which camara, CHDK-build and revision do you used for test?
- Get you "** init() successful" after startup camera?
- Which command do you start to get this message loop?

Using: s3is-100a-0.9.9-1161-full.zip

I get a successful init sequence. Ending in: "** init() successful"

I can also download images from the camera, same as last time. I get those endless loops of errors if I click on either of the two red camera function buttons at the top of the GUI panel. I only get one line of error returned if I click on the blue or green button.

(annoying that I can't copy text from the console window, makes sharing error messages difficult)

try this on ptpcam console:
Code: [Select]
luar get_mode()    // ret:false -> play mode
mode 1                // switch to rec mode
luar get_mode()   // ret:true -> rec modeIf returned "ret:false" on 3rd command, then you can't use the group "Camera Mode". I don't know if the play/record mode switching works on S3.

Use the right mouse button on debug edit "select all" and "copy". You can't see any selection.

Works fine on a540, more likely it's just broken on s3.

A new version of ptpCamGui is available....


Hi, where might I locate sources to compile ptpCam for Linux (Ubuntu)? I realise the GUI may not work but the console would be cool to test out. Thank you.

You can get the sources from http://tools.assembla.com/chdkde/browser/trunk/tools/ptpcam

You might also be interested in http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6231.0 which has a marginal working gui on linux already, but is in a very early stage of development.
