CHDK supports two different scripting languages - uBASIC and Lua.    You tell CHDK which language a script is using by the file extension  ( e.g.   motion.lua means its in Lua,  motion.bas means its in uBASIC).   If you load a script written in Lua but do not give the script filename a .lua extension then you will get the "Unk stat".

So to make the scripts that are giving you trouble work, simply change the file name extension to .lua

Hint : the comment block at the start of a Lua script starts with

Code: [Select]
--[[
@title Motion Detect
]]--
while the same program written in uBASIC will just look like this

Code: [Select]
@title Motion Detect

@Pasco
Make sure that you save the script as simple text (ASCII or ANSI, not UTF-whatever or Unicode).

There are two scripts listed on that wiki page.  The first is written in uBASIC and the other in Lua.  These two scripts are also included with the CHDK installation file so should already be on your camera in the script directory.

One other possible problem might be how you are creating your script files.  These need to be simple ASCII files with no extra embedded formatting (like you might get from using a word processor).   If you are using Windows,  create the files with Notepad. 

Bonne chance !

It means you have an error at line 22 of your script.  Is that the last line by any chance ?  Insert a blank line at the end if it is.

Otherwise,  please post the script here.  Its hard to help debug something you can't see :)

I was able to load and run your file on my A1200 (once I changed to filename to mouvt.bas).

What version of CHDK are you using and where did you get it? 

Tell me the exact file name - something like a710-100a-1.1.0-2594-full.zip
