Good work. Works fine with my canon 350D.
Can you add timelapse function to pyKake? (making N photos every X minutes/seconds).
Look at film gallery made this way.

Hello, sorry to take so long, I had so much works to do. As I see from those files, the reason is that somewhy those config files are linked wrong. The paths should be "/opt/pykake/cameras/*" not "/user/MyDocs/pykake/cameras/*". I think some other app has caused these errors and as I look the configure file of my own, I think the reason is Irreco/qtIrreco (because paths to shutters config files are also wrong in those outputs and those should be also in /opt/*). Somewhy it is changing those already existed config paths to wrong ("/opt/*" is changed to "/user/MyDocs/*"). So, the solution for this is (as now at least):
I hope this will work. I attach a screenshot of my config file (in nano) so you can see how it should look like.
- Install nano from maemo tools repo or if you know how to use Vi, install it from extras.
- go to terminal as a root and type: nano /etc/lircd.conf or use Vi
- change those pykakes conf file paths from /user/MyDocs/pykake/* to /opt/pykake/* and save (ctrl+x, y to confirm)
- reload the lirc/restart lirc in terminal: /etc/init.d/lircd start or reload
- Try pyKake, if not working try after reboot
- Tell me, did this work

Since this is in Extras-Testing I'll just ask the same what I already asked from Shutter-thread. Is it possible to implement the Canon's Wireless Delay technology to the pyKake? If so, how about remote flash as well?

Hey guys, I have an idea. I use a Pentax K-7 and people are always excited when they see the automatic bracketing with 5 images I use for HDR. It seems that not every camera has advanced bracketing and also the K-7 ist limited to 5 images.
So the idea would be, if the light sensor or the camera of N900 could be used for measuring exposure for bracketing via remote control. Then it would be possible to have automatic bracketing with 7 or 9 images that is really nice for HDR. Since there is HDR software is out there for N900, some algortihms may be easily adapted. What do you thing about remote control with HDR function?

The main question is, can your camera receive all that information needed to change exposure trough the infra red? I think it can't, so I had to say that that is impossible to do with pyKake, so sorry.
- Install nano from extras (or extras-testing) or if you know how to use Vi, install it from extras.
- go to terminal as a root and type: nano /etc/lircd.conf or use Vi
- change those pykakes conf file paths from /user/MyDocs/pykake/* to /opt/pykake/* and save (ctrl+x, y to confirm)
- reload the lirc/restart lirc in terminal: /etc/init.d/lircd start or reload
- Try pyKake, if not working try after reboot
- Tell me, did this work

I hope this will work. I attach a screenshot of my config file (in nano) so you can see how it should look like.EDIT: Fixed the link of Nano from maemo-tools to extras.
