Hi Daniel, thank you for info. I'll try it and if it will work with other cameras and computers I'll change it in repo. Peter

Hi Peter.
I hope that it works.
And just to clarify, I set the chuck size to one MB just to see if all the lines cleared in the no sleep case. If you're going to change it in the repo maybe a 10MB chunk would be more practical and to avoid too many read cycles.

Hello,

I have encountered this same problem with an SXVF-H36 so I am also looking for a solution.

Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks.

Nick,

Which INDI Library are you using? from what source?

Nick, if it is the same problem, it was fixed in rev 2006 about two weeks ago. Make sure you are using the most recent version of the driver. Peter

I will have to check which version it is when I get home.
I installed it just yesterday using the ubuntu binary
apt-get install indi-full
apt-get install kstars-bleeding

Ubuntu version is 14.10, also updated yesterday.

Thanks.

If you're using my repo then most likely you already have latest version of everything including INDI SX driver.

It is indi library 1.0
I tried it again today. lsusb recognizes the camera. The indiserver connects to the camera without errors and everything looks to be working in Ekos.

I don't get any error messages it just never downloads an image.

I tried capturing an image from the command line too and the log just hangs at read.

One thing to note is that the driver recognizes the camera as SXVR-H36 when it is actually an SXVF-36. Could this be a problem?

I also have failed completely to get my Orion ssag working in ekos. I thought that it was supported by the QHY drivers?

Thanks.

What's the VID:PID for both SXVR-H36 and SSAG?

When looking at the code in the trunk, I see that the sleep was commented out, but 'libusb_bulk_transfer' is still trying to download the data in one single chunk.

For me (with the H18 camera), it worked when reading in chunks smaller than about 15MB, otherwise libusb gives some strange error.

This is the code you sent me earlier. I played a little bit with the chunk size to see how large chunks I could read before it gave error. Above 15 gave error. I recommend setting 10MB to be safe.
In sxReadPixels function

OK, I'll change it that way. Peter

I will check and let you know later today.

Thank you.
