I just tested it here and Ekos have no problem connecting to the camera, I just selected "ZWO CCD" from the combo box under remote. What is the KStars version you're using?

Just for my curiosity: Starting indi server in terminal I get this:
klaus@sirius:~$ indiserver -vvv indi_asi_ccd

The driver name is reported as 'ZWO CCD ASI120MM'. Isn't this what I should feed in EKOS' Remote device names?

No need, just select ZWO CCD from the dropdown list.

@Jasem

The version of Kstars is 2.4.0.
Looks like this is when the driver send the device properties through network that the problem occurs.
Is it possible that it could be a network issue or a hardware one ?
The server is connected and the communication is opened with it so ...

Unlikely, is the camera connected to the Raspberry PI _before_ you run the indiserver indi_asi_ccd command?

:oops: You are right Jasem, the camera must be connected before starting the driver. Now it works fine.
Thank you so much.
This a little step for me but a huge step for humanity :silly:
Next step connecting a ST8300 to the Odroid. That will be a huge step for the universe :blink:

PS: I checked the binning 2x but it doesn't work. The counter countdown and the "downloading" message never disappear while the little clock run infinitely.

To re-up the question:

Dopes somebody experienced the trouble too ?

Thank you.

Hello all,

Just some positive return tests. I have tested all the devices under Kstars/EKOS/INDI : AZEQ6, SBIG ST8300C, ZWO 120MM connected to a ODROID-XU4 in remote. All works fine (in my home).
The next step will be to configure the ODROID-XU4 as wifi adhoc hotspot and test all of this on the field with the 120MM acting as autoguider.

Patdut,
Are you using the ASI 120MM on a RPi?
If yes, which OS are you using?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

@noste99
I use the ZWO 120MM on odroid-XU4 and I connect to it via wifi.

<strong>Big problem: </strong>today I tried to connect the ZWO 120MM directly to the laptop and I had the big surprise to have a crash with the asi driver.
I thought there was an issue with some update so I have done an uninstall of kstars-bleeding, and indi-full and libindi1. Done a complete system update (Ubuntu 15.04) on the laptop. Re-install libindi1, indi-full and kstars-bleeding. I got the same result: the asi server crash and enter in an infinite loop of restart.
I had a doubt, was it my cam that was damaged ? I tested it with success with oacapture, so this is not a camera issue.
Apart the streaming which don't work the ZWO 120 works fine in remote connected to the odroid device I will wait long before doing an update on it :)

Is there any way to have a precise log of the local asi driver , I mean something like a debug mode ?
Thanks

I just recompiled the driver indi_asi_ccd on my system and :) it works fine but lost the streaming :( . With the following message:

2015-12-23T12:41:34: No Luma video format found, cannot start stream.
2015-12-23T12:40:56: CCD is online. Retrieving basic data.

Maybe I have not used the right repository to get the sources.

Looks weard, just like the modifications you made in the driver Jasem have been lost.

Are you updating code from INDI subversion? At any rate, I'm building now Raspberry PI package for libindi 1.2.0... should be ready tomorrow.
