T2i Magic Lantern for 550D in progress!

Hi
I just installed ML 1.0.8 on my T2i with FW 1.0.8. It works perfectly, but I got no menu, only the audio meters.
Looks like it's possible to even control mic levels manually, which interests me very much. Are there different versions of ML 1.0.8?
Thanks for your help.
 
Hi
I have ML 1.0.8 installed on 1.0.8 FW but have no menu. Pressing the erase button just doesn't do anything.
Am I missing something or are there different versions of ML 1.0.8 (my camera says FW 1.0.8 - ML 0.1.9).
Thanks for your help.
 
that is the earlier version of ML and has no controls, you could get a newer release, or update to 1.0.9 from canon and get the new ML 1.0.9 FW posted at the top of this page.
 
just got the 109 version working! whoa!! i kinda modified the steps: format card in camera; use bootcf to make card bootable; copy ML files to cf on computer. voila!

Found the answer to my question. The problem was the autoexec.bin version, which should be replaced by this one: https://bitbucket.org/a1ex/magic-la...ern-2010dec12.550d.fw108.qscale.spot.a1ex.zip
Now my ML 1.0.8 installed on Canon FW 1.0.8 works with menu and all manual controls.
Tks.
 
I got it to work!!! YEAH!!!!
DAMN. this has got to be the best week of my life!

I won a contest on the radio, got money from the gov., going to Mexico, & got the ML to work on my camera!!! WOW! :D


EDIT:
- When I turn the camera off, and then turn it back on, it doesnt always turn on. I have to remove the battery then put it back in for it to turn on.

- When I turn the cam on, the zebras do not always turn on always. I have to switch modes for it to start working.

- I don't have any crop marks. How do I get them? I want 1.35:1

- I cant hear my audio when watching what I just recorded.
*I know it recorded the audio because the audio levels were moving, and it works on the computer, but not on the camera.

------
honestly, right now, I dont feel safe using this. Just now my camera froze when I tried deleting a video. The camera shut off, but the screen was still frozen. I removed the battery, and the screen was still on for a second or two. :S
I dont know...

My camera is turning on now normally.

I changed cinemascope cropmarks picture a bit ,its better now IMO

My cam turns on every time,no problems.
In video mode there is Qscale for bitrates,there is histogram,zebra for under/over exposing ,manual audio gain,cropmarks for cinemascope and fisheye corection,i cant test rack focus but its there too.

I am not sure if bitrates Qscale is implemented correctly cause sometimes low settings like -5 are similar to default ones and have 45mb and default setting has 46mb ,setting -14 has 45mb too and setting -15 has 57mb
DDirector you have old versiom probbly,get new one for 1.9 firmware:

You did something wrong,be careful.Do it again,copy all files from here ( http://ml-devel.googlegroups.com/at...mwa1UURqDcgHarKEE-Ea7GxYMt0t6nY0uV5FIQ&part=2 )
to your card and dont delete them.
Do it like its here ,not like it says on magic lantern website:
http://www.derkoi.co.uk/film/index....e-canon-550d-t2i&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=1
But get newest firmware(the one i gave in this post) not the one he gives you on this website,from his files you only need bootCF file and Dll to set card to bootable.
I dont know maximum qscale for me is 13 without recording turning off because of too much mb per second, i can record 10 seconds with qscale -14.
This stuff is great BTW,manual audio and cropmarks especially ,its nice to see it already in cinemascope ratio onscreen and set framing.
I wish they would unlock ISO's in video mode ,so we could have 1250 or 1000 etc,in auto mode this iso is available cause exposure change is smooth,there is no way to lock it tho.

I repeat DONT use firmware from his website(you need only 2 gfiles from his archive,exe and dll one) ,its 1.8 version ,installing this on 1.9 firmware can lock the camera for good.

Okay. But, now you are making me scared.
I need a step by step process of doing this. What do I do with the files already on the cam? - formt the card? ..How to make the card bootable?, etc.
I am going on vacation in 4 days, so I need to get this up and working fine.
 
What firmware do you have on camera ? 1.8 or 1.9 ?
if you havee already mlantern on card then makecard non bootable usinng bootCF ,then format card and start all over again how it says on website - http://www.derkoi.co.uk/film/index....e-canon-550d-t2i&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=1


But instead of his files ,copy new vrsion of magic lantern to your card ,the one for firmware 1.9 (and update to canon firmware 1.9 first from their website if you still have firmware 1.8 on camera).
You need all those files unpacked on your card:
http://ml-devel.googlegroups.com/at...mwa1UURqDcgHarKEE-Ea7GxYMt0t6nY0uV5FIQ&part=2

BTW from posts on mlantern google forums it looks like guys are working to disable time limit and record over 4GB files and longer than 12 minutes.
Wow and there is new version ,with smaller ISO increments , so we can have ISO's like on 7D.Its not completely safe tho.

I just installed version with small ISO increments and is AWESOME! Now i feel kinda bad for 7D users, here are available ISO increments :
{100,110,115,125,140,160,170,185,200,220,235,250,280,320,350,380,400,435,47*0,500,580,640,700,750,800,860,930,1000,1100,1250,1400,1500,1600,1750,1900,2*000,2250,2500,2750,3000,3200,3500,3750,4000,4500,5000,5500,6000,6400,7200,8000,
bad, ???, ???, ???, ???,12500};
Can someone ask developers about having second button to go back ? Cause now you can change values with SET button and if you want to back to previous value you have to press SET button many times .
Its best christmas present i ever had:laugh:
