Hi dear ok i have use servo circuit and now i have shott :) from usb but i have one problem , when the rc switch is in OFF position The camera focuses continuously! maybe because the minimum current that flows even if the switch is off is regarded as a light press of the shutter of the camera.in OFF =0.44v(I can not reduce further)  in ON=4.16v .
How can I fix it? I have to change that parameter in CHDK so that the focus is removed with the little touch of the shutt button?
The USB remote circuit does not work as you have described.  There is no "off",  "light touch"  (like half press) and "hard touch"  (like full press).     The camera only sees two states on the USB port -  off or on.   

A voltage of 0.44v wil certainly be seen as "off".  In fact, anything less than about 2V will be seen as "off".   To be "on", the voltage usually has to be above 3V - with at least 4 volts needed on most cameras.

To help with your problem,  please describe the setting of each menu item in the USB Remote Parameters menu in CHDK.

thank you for fantastic support  my set about usb

Do you also have a diagram or photo of your writing?
And if you are using a script would you post that here too ?

Okay - I think I see your problem now.   Try changing your setup to this :



The second menu item needs to be set.

This will give you the second wave form shown here :  http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/USB_Remote_Cable#Enable_built-in_CHDK_remote_support

So when you turn on the transmitter channel,  the camera will focus.   When you turn off the transmitter channel the camera will take one picture.
