Well finally I found someone with a Paypal account - thanks Ally - my son's girlfriend!

Anyway have APT controlling my Canon 400D via DSUB -> bulb, whilst BYE controls my Canon 40D. Both seem to control things correctly.

A few small anomalies:

1. on first run APT halted on the splash screen detecting TemperHum, which BYE was reading fine.

- Closed BYE - tried APT a few more times, cursed, killed it in Task Manager, ... removed and re-installed TemperHum - now both programs run and share the weather service correctly

2. Had APT try and discover Canon 40D (using Digic III version of APT) - no joy...

3. Had APT Digic II version try and connect Canon 400D (worked second time after power cycling camera and shutting down EOS utility).

Realised I had to have DSUB selected as the Bulb controlled.

Ran both Canon 40D (BYE) and 400D (APT) and both worked well. Now I have reading to do!

Cheers,

Matthew
