Hi,

I'm still working on the astro module and I'd like to make it take a sequence of pictures; simplifying a bit, it should be something like this:
- enable the "bulb" timer and set the exposure time
- take a sequence of N1 photos
- wait for a key press (half-shutter or set, or something else)
- change the exposure time to the fastest allowed value
- take a sequence of N2 photos

Can somebody point me out to the functions in ML that I should call? Should I be using the intervalometer or maybe it's easier&faster to boil my own? In the end the intervalometer should be a simple for cycle, or maybe there's more complex things going on under the cover?

Thanks
Andrea

Modules Development / API documentation and what to avoid
February 21, 2023, 09:51:06 PM
Hi,

I want to modify the astro module to see if I can make it suit my needs, however I have two questions:
- So far Iv'e found only the LUA API documentation, and I'm using partly this and partly look at the functions names to guess what a call does: is there some documentation for the C api calls?
- What should  avoid to mess with to avoid bricking my camera? Is there some calls that are more dangerous and should not mess with unless necessary?

Thanks

Hi,

I´ve compiled and installed the astro module https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=18515.0 on my camera (EOS 500D) , the module loads, everything seems fine and I've activated the ¨star focus" setting; however I don't see any indication on how to use the "star focus" in the LV screen... is there someone that knows how to use it?

Thanks
Andrea

General Development / State of Magic Lantern development
February 16, 2023, 01:37:59 PM
Hi,

I've started using ML to do some astrophotography and I'd like to use the astro module https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=18515.0 ; so I'm trying to compile ML for my camera (EOS 500D) however the official "unified" branch has not been updated in years (and it doesn't compile) and it's not clear which branch is best to use - maybe lua_fix ?

So, is ML still in development? Are the original developers still around?
And which branch should I use to start developing myself?

Thanks
Andrea
