I have made many scripts, so you can pick a prebuilt one, and copy that one script to the SD card. Here is the download link:

  1. Thanks! I got my Hero+ Black working with the help of your scripts. My problem was that I wasn't saving my files correctly using BBEdit. If I saved them using nano in the terminal, they worked with the camera correctly.
