This is the Canon Hack Development Kit. It could be used to overwrite firmware which limits the functionality of Canon PowerShot models of cameras.
It can also brick a camera. The distinction seems difficult to determine.
Installation
The wiki says you are supposed to run ACID to determine the version of the firmware on the PowerShot A2500 that belongs to Noisebridge.
ACID says the camera works but it can't download what I want :(
Operation
Remote Control requires a special PTP extension. From there it appears there are some helpful utilities.
Scripting
Once installed, it is possible to write scripts in the Lua language which run directly on the camera. There is a Lua reference in the Noisebridge Library.
