Just wanted to say I managed to switch two cams connected via PTP with an Arduino with remote sync enabled. I can even use the LiveView feature of CHDKPTP without switching it off before shooting, everything is reconnected as soon as the signal reapperas in the cable.
Now I have one question: To try snyching I turned on the flash of one cam while leaving the one of the other cam off. I was able to shoot with both cameras using the light from ONE flash only. But this is not reliable, sometime I got it, sometimes not. Now I wonder what the reason might be? Is the revised synch-option part of the actual trunks? I altered the code as it was proposed here, but I don´t know if i have the high-recision-sync then.

SDM does not support precision synch for most cameras for a very good reason ..... it is not compatible with flash.
maximum differences of about 40ms between the cameras? If so, it should be good enough for me.Are there any other things I should consider to make the system more synched?
Thanks for your posts. I have read thru the thread that discusses the synch efforts of vnd, all that is very promising, but the discussion stopped at the beginning of september. Why that?
And do you think the patch will become part of a official release?
However, I am not yet sure if I need that precise synch at all. I think for me being able to synch the cameras up to 1/1000th of a second is good enough for what I need. Did I get it right, that the "normal synched" CHDK version should give me maximum differences of about 40ms between the cameras? If so, it should be good enough for me.
Nevertheless I would like to test my new setup a bit, today I will build such an LED-board as waterwingz did. Hope I have some bright LEDs here. The tests I made yesterday where absolutely random, I did not even have the same settings on the cameras.
Please, could some explain why activating the flashes makes the system vary more? Are there more tasks to be done between _wait_until_remote_button_is_released() and the actual shot?

Surely you are contradicting yourself ?
I still don't understand that thing with SDM. Is this a closed software? No source available?Could someone bring light into this?
