I followed the scripting tutorial on the wiki and here is my code segment for the ixus70_sd1000 but I need to know how to make it work with ALLBEST

:set_shutter
get_tv t
print "Tv set to",t
wait_click
is_key k "set"
if k=1 then goto "k_set"
is_key k "down"
if k=1 then set_tv_rel 0-1
k=0
is_key k "up"
if k=1 then set_tv_rel 0+1
k=0
goto "set_shutter"

:k_set
.........

on the console
I see the t value vary up and down correctly but the shutter speed doesnt seem to change

please help

Hi, Barney! Not quite so. Allbest build is fully compatible with all previous builds. Only one exception is "set_iso_dangerous" command

Hi! This script doesn't work on your IXUS because IXUS hasn't Tv mode (set_tv and other commands in this script works ONLY in TV or M modes). You need to use another commands. set_tv96, for example

Hi!
The Initial description and common logic you can see here CHDK firmware usage/AllBest - CHDK Wiki

"Ixus compatible" version of your script:

Code: [Select]


@title Shutter TEST

sleep 500

rem initiation

press "shoot_half"
release "shoot_half"


get_tv96 t

:set_shutter

print "Tv set to",t

wait_click
  is_key k "set"
    if k=1 then goto "k_set"
  is_key k "down"
    if k=1 then t=t-32
k=0
  is_key k "up"
    if k=1 then t=t+32
k=0

set_tv96_direct t

goto "set_shutter"

:k_set

shoot

end

The Basic comand set_tv96_direct is most universal for shutter speed operations. This command sets tv value in APEX standart: APEX system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Not a float value but integer with 96 multiplier, i.e. tv*96
Correspondingly get_tv96 returns current value of tv*96

Analogously for aperture operations you can use basic commands "set_av96_direct" and "get_av96" (but Ixus hasn't iris mechanism). Use command "set_nd_filter" as alternative

Quote

Good luck trying to get them to explain ANY of the new uBASIC commands

Barney, if you don't know how to help the best variant is keep silent
