Talk:UBASIC/Scripts: Unlimited Interval Shooting

From CHDK Wiki

Hi, What are the concerns about running the script for long periods? Other than racking up many shutter clicks on the camera, are there other problems with leaving a script like this running for long periods?

Thanks -chuck

Hi. I'd like to ask the same question as above! Thanks in anticipation if anyone can elaborate/explain.

A third request for the same info! I can see how if you keep it in too tight a loop it could cause a problem, or if the 'sleep' function in the script is implemented at the system level as a busy-wait loop (rather than an interrupt-based wait), but other than that - is the script author just attempting to C(Y)A ? 69.250.66.218 01:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Alex

We are all asking the same question... what is the problem with running this for a long time, other than wear and tear on the camera? BTW, I am thrilled to be using this with a SD600, 100a CHDK which came out a recently, based on AllBest.
