Got to love this Atik Titan.... really do like it.... not.
driver:
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$ dpkg -l |grep atik
ii atikccd 1.1 armhf INDI Driver for Atik cameras and filter wheels
heidenrod@heidenrod-obs:~$

results: "Atik Titan test failed"


So, I'm looking for a different guider camera, something that works well under indi. Any suggestions?
My Atik 314L+ works well, very well.

Check out the way you're powering this CCD. It's quite demanding in these matters.
I would advice using active (powered) USB hub supplying at least 1Amp to your camera.

Thanks, I've been through all the things already, usb cable ~ power supply ~ USB things.... all of it.
What I need is a different camera I think

Here's the full atik_ccd_test output:

I'm using it with success with Raspberry Pi for quite a long time. What kind of issues specifically you're facing?

For example, in Ekos I cannot take a single picture out of it, no matter what the exposure is set to.
In the output of the atik_test I see the following: LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
maybe that's my problem.


Can you run the atik_test for me and post it please?

Using Astroimager on my mac for a quick test, the camera set to an exposure of 60sec. Once the exposure has finished it's just seating there at 'downloading image' for ever and ever and ever...

First I would use a powered hub (5V separate power into the hub) as the electronics for the Titan run off the USB- only the cooler works off the 12V.

That's what I already run

To the best of my knowledge if you get LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT you're having problems with powering the camera.
I was facing the same problem in the past until I powered the CCD correctly (CCD connected to USB hub, Raspberry Pi powered from the same USB hub).
Since then all the problems are gone.

I will post the test over the weekend. Now I'm in the middle of the session so cannot do this.
Just do this to test the CCD:
1. install the drivers on your PC
2. connect your CCD locally to your PC
3. run indi_ccd_test locally
4. check the results

If the test is successful (and I bet it will be) your're facing the powering problem i.e. the CCD is reset somewhere in the middle of the test due to powering problem.
I assume that you're connecting the CCD to raspberry pi.
Additional thing that is usefull is adding max_usb_current=1 to your /boot/config.txt - this will set your USB power to the maximum supported by the device. This made my life easier and my Atik Titan works correctly even without active USB hub.

Thanks for the help, I do not run a Raspberry PI but an Odroid C1 and a powered USB board.
I'm currently in Germany at my observatory site, I'll take this damn Titan back home in the UK with me over the week-end and run some tests from home.

Are you running through any extended cables or chain of hubs? USB over Ethernet doesn't play well with the Titan.
