You don't happen to know how to do this with a Casio calc (CFX-9859CG plus)?

I have a Sony DSC-V3, and I cannot get this to work. I have tried a TI-82, TI-83, and TI-85. I'm hooking the link cable from the calculator to the ACC in.

If Anyone could help me be able to shoot timelapse I would much appreciate it.

Is there software out there, so that I could use a laptop?

H doesn't need to be defined. A is the delay in between photos that you get prompted for when the program first executes. You will want to set this number relatively high. This might be the reason your camera is attempting to focus. For time lapse I'd recommend switching to manual focus and setting the focu manually before running the program. This way your camera won't change focus while shooting.

I've copied your code to the letter but when I run it my camera only focuses and doesn't take the photo. Any ideas? What is H and should I define a value for it? Also, is A meant to be the number of photos or how long it runs for?
Thanks for any ideas you have.

Here's my code:

PROGRAM:CAMERA
:Prompt A
:While 1
:For(H,1,A,1)
:End
:Disp "Snap"
:Output("CBLSEND",A)
:End

How come you didn't include the code for the line that goes “snap”?

Can you please put the exact code you used for your Ti-85? It's kind of unclear what you altered… Thanks…

That is absolutely amazing. Now I need to visit my parents and dig up my old calculator to try this.
