CHDK includes a slightly modified version of the uBASIC interpreter written by Adam Dunkels, which itself is a tiny version of BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). CHDK allows users to automate their cameras by running "scripts", small and simple programs written in a short-hand version of BASIC. There are scripts for exposure bracketing, focus bracketing, intervalometer and many more.
How to run a script
- Download or write your own script and place it in the CHDK/SCRIPTS/ folder of your SD-card, (name
and extention areis not important, extension should be .BAS for uBASIC and .LUA for Lua scripts). - Enter the script menu, load the script, adjust the parameters to your liking and leave the menu.
- While still in <ALT> mode just press the shutter button and the script will start. A mini console will be displayed while the script is running.
- Note:
It's best toset the Review parameter in the NORMAL camera menu to "off", other options like "x sec" or "hold"canwill interfere with the execution of scripts. - You can stop a running script by just pressing the shutter button again. Or pause a running script by exiting <ALT> mode. If paused the script will resume right where it left off when re-entering <ALT> mode.
