CHDK: hacking my camera

Friday, December 5th, 2008

I have a Canon A-640 that I rarely use, partially because it’s flash is broken. Now I found a new use for it, a hackable device :D

With CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) I can write my own scripts (in LUA or BASIC) to control the camera functions. It also enables new features and improve old ones. Really nice free software project :)

And for hackers, it’s well documented (including the source-code). I’ll try it better and post some results here (with pictures and some code I hope :) )
