    NEATO!!
    I just looked in my bag to see what P&S I have and voila! it is an SD870.

    Where are the mod instructions for IR? This is a client supplied camera so I can't really take it apart :-)

    Maybe I'll go buy one for myself. It's a nice little pocket camera, but I want to read more about the IR mod.

    Cheers,

    Yeah so it makes very little difference, but thanks for the script! w00p!

    I kinda thought it wouldn't make much of a difference, but it didn't take too long to write that :D

    Now if we just could use the usb port as a remote release in reverse. That would allow you to hook up a coffee maker and cook up a pot while running a timelapse. And that would be cool.
    Creativity's hard.

    if 'shotCount=300' or realTime=0530' set 'coffeeStatus' = 'brew'

    Leopard, and it crashes a lot :( Gotta figure out a better way to convert the files.

    That's why I was asking. The site says there are a lot of known issues with Leopard.

    I just stumbled upon CHDK over the weekend. It really opens up a whole new world of functionality on our little SD1000 while we learn wings.gif
