Hi Wolfi,

Late response, but what did you actualy mean with "my QHY 5 under windows is even more of a pain"?
My QHY5v does work perfect under Windows.

A new response via QHY forum DM between me and Qiu:
Really don't know who the opensource community is and who could help me further..
Also really no idea about the effort it would cost to add support for it.
At the end if support won't come.. what will be the best quality / lowcost guidecam that is supported by indi?

Regards,
Chris.

hi!
my ALccd5 is ~ 5 years old, maybe things have improved since then. under windows, it can only be accessed when plugged into the usb port which was used during installation, it had to undergo a hardware fix and all kinds of unnecessary stuff like that.

the opensource comunitiy consists of people like jaseem and me who develop software and provide it as a community support. in other words - no more support from qhy :/

i have recetly bought a ZWO ASI 120 MM (i think, i don't have it at hand) - have not tested it under the skies yet, but it works fine with INDI ...

Hey,

Using my qhy since 2 years and don't know better than it's always just plug and play when ascom drivers and qhy drivers are installed. But they probably improved some cause your experience with it doesn't sound that good .

ZWO ASI 120 MM seems a good price/quality cam! Thanks for that.
Ofcourse I prefer not buying a new one but using my current, but not sure what you guys can do for me based on the documentation of the readout of the qhy5v?

Regards,
Chris.

@wolfi, do you think you can do anything for me about this?

well ... i am afraid not really. without the cam and some code that can be modified, it is extremely hard to come up with something usable :/

I wonder if usbip.sourceforge.net/ could be of any use for you?

Probaly needs a bit of network knowledge and a VPN connection like www.zerotier.com/

Thanks all.

I think I Will buy a new guide cam.
Thinking of a ASI120MMS. Is this one well supported by Indi

well, I think that is the easiest solution. my asi 12 MM works fine ...

If you care about price, you can also consider this ZWO ASI120 clone:

I have the color version and it works flawlessly with my INDI+Raspberry Pi3 and SharpCap+Windows although my 7-years old Lenovo Linux laptop does not like it. Just flash with compatible firmware and use the supplied or other good quality USB cable.
