Oops! My bad!
So I tried out the other script, the KAP UAV, and here are my results for two tests at 120 second shot intervals. The first one I changed no settings and the camera took should at every 120 second shot but it never turned off. I then changed the Total Shots setting to 1, and the camera took a shot and then turned off completely (it seemed). Ill attach the KAP.log and the ROMLOG.LOG too.

Thanks so much for the help! Tell me what you think

According to the log,  the script took two photos and then stopped because the menu key was pressed.

If the total shots were set to 1,  then it makes sense for the camera to take on shot and stop.

When reporting problems, it is always best to include a copy of the log file produced by the script to aid debugging and problem resolution.

TIA

What you are seeing is normal.  Each time the script restarts the camera, it does so by requesting that the camera autostart once via the set_autostart( ) function.  On startup,  the CHDK code turns off autostart, which is okay, as the script turns it back on prior to the next restart.  This cycle repeats as long as the script continues to run and has proven to be quite reliable.

However , there have been a few reports of some cameras not restarting consistently.  Getting a script log might help pin point this problem but at the moment I don't  have a solution to the problem if it exists.

When this happens,  does your camera not turn back on?  Or does it turn on but not restart the script ?

The most current version is always available from the script's wiki page :  Ultimate Intervalometer  The current release is 2.5.   Old versions are available on request - I don't post them anywhere official because newer versions are almost exclusively for bug fix reasons.

Edit : note that the restart function will not work if you load CHDK with the "firmware update" method.  CHDK must be started with the "SD Card Lock" autoboot method.

thanks for the answer.
I am turning the camera on and off with a timer on 12v battery and solar panel. I am using a dummy battery with voltage regulator.  So the problem is that after powering on the camera the auto start setting is reverting to off. (not always).
Any way with the latest version it runs fine so no problem.
Thanks again

Hey,

So i re did it with the KAP UAV and yes it did stay on and take pictures. I did not change any of the settings on the script, so it was taking pictures every 15 seconds. So it worked, but the screen never blanked. Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks!

Sorry - this has dragged on and I've gotten lost.  What were we trying to do?  And can you post a link to where I apparently asked you to run the kap_uav.lau script?

If you didn't change any settings,  the display in that script will not turn off.  That is the default state.

Like I said,  I've lost track of what I was looking for.  Something about set_display( ) function not working correctly on either a D30 or D20 maybe ?

V3.0 released today.   

General script cleanup,  focus at infinity now uses the latest CHDK MF capability, log file open timeout added.

Also now includes exposure bracketing ( i.e. HDR capability).

Hi waterwingz,
Sorry for the lapse of responses of my end. I have been running the camera using the battery intervalometer, but still want to see if I can get another day out of the camera!

I tried the playback mode on the v3.0 and unfortunately no luck. I also tried the ult.test.lua you sent a while ago and will attach the results. I changed minimal settings, besides putting it into playback mode and also making sure the time range included the time i was testing the camera. I will attach the logs for both.

Just to refresh you, because I am sure you are helping so many other people, I am using a Powershot D20 and external battery, and want to use playback mode to extend the battery life just a little bit longer, but unfortunately I have not been able to get this mode to work on this camera model.

The ultimate.log file has only two very short entries.   Did you actually let it take shots or did it crash each time?  What Display Off setting were you using when it crashed?

Attached is another version of the test script.  This one pauses for 3 seconds after changing between shooting mode and playback mode prior to setting the display state.  Let's see if that helps?
