Took me a bit, but I got the source downloaded and my environment setup. Now I just have to find the code I need to change.

I have no idea how to submit a patch, if I end up getting the bug fixed. That's for later, though. Now, to code!

FWIW, if you want some realtime advice, you can sometimes find us in #chdk on irc.freenode.net

A630 actually users the generic version of platform/...kbd.c so changes there would affect a lot of cameras. But if it's a generic fix, that's a good thing I guess.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

Of course, it would be easy to expand the A630 camera specific kbd.c file to look more like the A650 and delete the reference to the generic\kbd.c

The main problem is that the delay loop speed is compiler dependent. New gcc even optimizes it out completely.

The attached patch fixes it for s95. A similar fix should be applied for other cameras too, but I can't test it.

Did you see this thread ?

Lots of other broken things to think about in that code right now.

You have to compile your own CHDK for applying patches. You'd need to have CHDK source.

If you have Windows machine you can simply use CHDK-Shell to compile CHDK. Check:

You probably want to look at the main development trunk of CHDK ( http://mighty-hoernsche.de/trunk/ ) rather than the stable version. The USB code there was completely rewritten to be workable and understandable. It also incorporates the code from vnd's patch.

Documentation available here : USB_Remote_V2

thanks i tried it (build 1928)
but for strange reasons it seems that the ENABLE SYNCH feature does not work,
camera shoots at trigger pressure and not at trigger-release...

I tried all the combinations of tha available options but nothing...
Am I missing something?

Which version did you try ?

http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads

Stable or Unstable ? ( The same build # applies to both versions.)

What are you using for a USB switch device ?

Are you trying to use a script or the built-in functionality ?

And how exactly did you setup the option in the Remote Parameters menu ?
