Reboot the camera in script

Hello!

Someday somewhere somebody asked if it's possible to reboot camera in script. Since it's not simple to do so I found easy walk-around and I like to share it.

The idea is to emulate checking the Update Firmware from the menu. The simplest code looks like:

Code: [Select]
@title reboot

print "Will reboot now!"
sleep 1000

click "menu"
click "up"
click "set"
click "right"
sleep 100
click "set"
end


Nevertheless it's possible only when camera is in play mode and lens are retracted. I know how to swich to the play mode but don't know how to retract the lens immediately after that...

That would be a bug.

Well, maybe it is. I don't know, where is a kind of bugzilla to report this?

Camera frozes only when in record mode or record mode with opened lens. While in play mode it reboots normally.

Here you go :  http://chdk.kernreaktor.org/mantis/my_view_page.php

Although you will probably get more action if you post to the SX130 porting thread rather than creating your own thread.
