Hi Daniel,
I am attaching a patch that attempts to add support for the DSI Color II. Please let me know how it works (or doesn't work) when you get a chance.
Hello.
We have success!
Now the camera was correctly identified and when taking an image it came out as expected with no read out errors.
This is a one second exposure (dark frame)
The debayer option in Kstars FITS viewer was disabled so I couldn't select it. When looking in the FITS header the BAYERPAT property was empty so that's probably why.
Personally it's not a problem for me, I'm just going to use the DSI as a guide camera.
Thank you for developing the driver. Hopefully I will be able to test it under the night sky soon, when the weather clears up here in Sweden.
I see options for X and Y Offset. Is that the options for setting the bayer pattern?
The driver identified the camera as a DSI Color II, but that just the name, don't know if any other mechanism is present to communicate color properties to kstars/indi.
Where can I find a list of the available Bayer strings? It seems that the color CCD's in the DSI's use a complementary color mosaic (Cy Ye Mg G) rather than a simple RGB filter.
