Hello,I just tried to install my new ZWO ASI2600MC Pro DUO into my EKOS profile. The documentation from ZWO says that, if I want to use both the camera and guider sensors simultaneously, that I shouls select "ASI Camera 1" and "ASI Camera 2". As you know, I'm sure, "ASI Camera

No experience with this camera model. If the SDK treats each sensor as its own camera, then you can select "ZWO CCD" and it should detect 2 different cameras.

Rats!
You only saw half of my initial post. (My fault)
The rest of the post was: I tried putting "ZWO Camera 1" and "ZWO Camera 2" In the profile drop downs - didn't work.
Tried "ZWO Camera" in both drop downs - sort of worked but detected the camera as a ASI220mini - not correct for either sensor
Tried "ZWO Camera" in CCD 1 slot - just detected the ASI220mini.

Documentation from ZWO indicates that I should select "ASI Camera 1" which is of course not an option.
There are ASCOM drivers for the new camera but I cannot figure out how to locate these drivers on my computer, nor how to install the custom drivers.

These cameras are becoming popular. It might be in your best interest to find a way to incorporate these into KStars. I hope you do.

I pre-ordered one back in May but cancelled as I was afraid it wouldn't be compatible for a while...
Please post here if it works or not.

The ZWO ASI2600MC will NOT work on the KStars platform, unfortunately. If you select "ZWO Camera" in the profile - the profile won't start.
If you select "ZWO Camera 1 or 2" - it only detects the autoguider sensor. If you select Zwo Camera 1 and look in the INDI control panel under the camera tab - the "exec" window indicates "asi_single_camera_driver". Thus KStars will only see one of the two cameras.
So, until this is fixed, KStars is incompatible with the ZWO ASI2600MC Pro Duo. I wish this weren't true as I really like KStars but I've had to move on. BTW, N.I.N.A and Voyager (using PHD2) work just fine.

Did you tried to load profile with ZWO Camera 1 and 2. Also if you have this camera can you enable debug logging and post these logs here?

I've stopped using KStars in favor of Voyager. Voyager works without me having to modify or debug anything. KStars is a better all around platform but has too many bugs and problems.

Just to confirm on my side as well, ASI2600MC DUO does not work. Although the last screenshot shows that the guider was online and ready it did not work, it was just "recognised".

Did not take logs last time. If I take the setup out again I may try to add logs as well.

Hi, just got my ASI2600 Duo and I'm running into the same problem.

This is my Log using "ZWO Camera 1 and ZWO Camera 2":

And this is my Log only using the ZWO CCD driver:

I hope this will help you troubleshooting.

Got my 2600 Duo, and it works just fine.

Using the latest bleeding version on Ubuntu. Latest GIT INDI and INDI 3rd Party drivers.

No issues at all. The ASI220 also shows up no issues.
