QHY5 minimum exposure time without breaking apart? was created by Gonzothegreat

so, this pesky old QHY5..... I'm using the latest driver as per today, but I'm having an odd issue with it.
root@heidenrod-obs:~# dpkg -l | grep qhy
ii  indi-qhy                           1.6+r3336~201708221239~ubuntu16.04.1          armhf        INDI QHY Driver. This driver is compatible with any INDI client such as KStars or Xephem.
ii  libqhy                             0.1.10+r3339~201708231229~ubuntu16.04.1       armhf        libqhy provide libraries to access and control QHY CCDs and Filter Wheels.
root@heidenrod-obs:~#

issue:
if you set the exposure for less than 2 seconds, you would get random captures.
capture #1: nothing #2..#4 still nothing, #5: OK you get a picture

Now set the exposure time to something above or from 2 seconds, you get a picture at every capture.
As anyone noticed this behaviour?

No that's new to me, but I ditched the QHY5 because of all the weird stuff happening, it's really not behaving good on Linux unfortunately.

There is updated QHY SDK & Driver today. Also comes with it a new qhy_ccd_test binary that you can run to find if the issue is with the SDK or somewhere else.
