QSI driver was created by Paolo

Dear all,

I'm only partially satisfied with the QSI driver :whistle: , which currently does not offer the possibility to tune some important camera properties, such as - for example - the gain level or the fan speed. I don't know, in fact, which gain level I'm using and I see (or -better - I hear) that the fan speed is at the minimum. Are there plans for improving the driver? I suppose that it depends from the developers, as it is a third party driver... but I don't know how to contact them.

Cheers
Paolo

It is located in the 3rd party repo means it can be developed and released independently from INDI Library. At any rate, I'm the developer of the QSI driver and I just upgraded libqsi from 6.4.1 to 7.2.0 and also added the Gain & Fan support to INDI QSI driver. Please test and let me know if it works.

Problem: after the update, the "connect" button of the QSI INDI "control panel" does not connect the camera successfully. The state remains "yellow" and nothing appears in the text dialog window below....
I tested then the camera with the test programs given with the standard Linux QSI library (qsidemo and qsiapitest) and the camera works ok. So it seems that something went wrong on INDI side...

The driver is working fine, in fact I am using it right now as I type this. But sometimes PPA packages are not built properly by Launchpad, I will force it to re-build again and hopefully it will work OK by tomorrow. If you compile from source you won't have any issues.

Ok, I succeeded in compiling libindi.
The, I tried the compilation under 3rdparty with
> cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DWITH_QHY:OPTION=OFF

but it complains that it does not find "QSI" ("Please install libqsi").
As libqsi is contained in 3rdparty, I thought that it would be part of the compilation/installation process.
Confused here....

libqsi must be installed first, it is independent of indi-qsi driver. At any rate, the new indi-qsi package should be available in one hour.
