Canon 40D

[Indy]

jplxpto,

As long as you're a way to progress, it sounds good. That's not easy after all...
How about audio threshold (there is a script for that :-) and stubs ?
maybe I could help here...

For drawing, use bmp_fill and bmp_draw_rect (they both have the same syntax, so rectangles drawn with those two functions should overlap).

Thanks, I'll test it soon ...

"How about audio threshold (there is a script for that :-) " ...

I'm sorry but I did not understand what you mean.
Why tell me in audio?

[Indy]

Dear Jplxpto,

sorry I was not clear.
do you have all audio stubs ? and the address of audio threshold ?

Sorry, I also do not explained well
I think the 40D has no audio.

Well.. the 40D doesn't record video normally, but will do so with Magic Lantern. We already have the ingredients

Today I had a big scare. I was trying to get all the constants of the buttons and my camera blocked. Moments later I realized that it was not possible to navigate the menus of the canon. Only the icons appeared, but the items were not presented. After a few tries, remove card, remove battery, put battery, remove the lens, place the lens, changes ... so, disconnect, connect, etc, etc ... I was scared but I can resurrect my camera. After a few attempts, I managed to solve the problem because I was able to open the 'My Menu' ... (Mode C1 + Menu  + SET) ... this sequence showed me the items of 'My Menu' and I registered the function that cleans the camera settigns, and I enabled this custom menu. After I accept the changes, the camera is working again normally. It seemed a miracle!!!! Huufff

I have not given up yet, I'll start having more careful ... I'll analyze the firmware to obtain the constants of a safer way. I think the code that writes the LCD acceded to an invalid memory area. I still have problems with the VRAM. Solving this problem is now a top priority.

[a1ex]

There are a few other features that write to RAM (e.g. magic zoom writing on LV buffer, fast zoom in play mode altering the current zoom value, exposure override, SET+MainDial changing the image buffers). Look through consts.h to see how each thing is used - and if you are not sure about that constant, and it's used for writing, don't enable that feature.

For menu, you should start only the two menu-related tasks and some button/event handlers.

[jplxpto]

Hello Alex,

I think almost everything is disabled. How can I check the tasks/features are being launched?

I checked that some of the listed buttons are wrong.
I was trying to solve this problem. I just enabled the hijack of the events and removed the comment from end_gui_...
How can I force automatic presentation of the menu at system startup.

I've done some tests with bmp_fill, bmp_draw_rec, draw_palette.
Soon I will send you a picture with the palette drawn on the LCD.

Thank you

[a1ex]

The source from ML repo only starts 3 tasks (debug, menu, menu_redraw) => it's OK. There are a few features that run from button handlers too (e.g. histogram in playback mode, which you showed me).

To start the menu... give_semaphore(gui_sem).

Edit: if you use the 5DC method for task hijacking (which you probably should, I don't know a better one), leave the gui_init commented (Canon code already did it).

[jplxpto]

Alex, thanks for your clarification.  I'll see it better.

[jplxpto]

Finally I had a little time to create my repository ...

Same button codes as the 50D.
What about unpress_set though? Does the camera correct the unpress correctly?

Sorry but I still do not know!

Hello guys,

I keep working on this project and A1ex has helped me a lot.

Now I'm trying to open the ML menu.

Again ... thanks Alex

[jplxpto]

Hi Guys,

I've got to see the menus of ML. But I still have some problems ... DOUBLE_BUFFERING with 1 not working.
The menus are constantly flashing. The keys work almost all.

[jplxpto]

Hi guys,

After a few hours of work and an excellent help from Alex,
I could finally see the menus of ML. This is a modest contribution but I'm happy.

The port of ML for 40D was not planned and I donated a few hours of my work and
dedication to one day also be a user of this wonderful sofware.

I'm still new to this project and I have a lot to learn but motivated to continue so that one day all
40D owners can also take advantage of ML.

Today, I made ​​my first Pull Requests into hudson repository.

If you are interested can follow my development at:

[ilguercio]

Thumbs up and thanks for the effort.
The family is getting bigger as time passes.

Your ptp_register_handler function is correct

[jplxpto]

Your ptp_register_handler function is correct

For me this is a good and bad news ... : (

I can't connect to the camera with --chdk switch and i don´t know why...

I see the logs of the camera again ... perhaps there is some hint

Thank you!!!

[Faxe]

Created account just to state that we are more people that eagerly and happily follow your progression.   

[jplxpto]

I'm happy to know there are more people interested in this project.

I and other developers have been working on this project almost every day.
The Coutts, the Chochin the A1ex, the Nanomad and G3gg0 and Indy have helped me.

Thanks to all of them ...
