Thanks. I'll try 1.8 and let you know.

If it does work you have probably no reason to change it. 1.7 and 1.8 differs only in max usb packet size (16MB was apparently too much for some systems but not for another, that's why I missed it during tests). Peter

Hi, still no luck I'm afraid. Same 'yellow light'. I've tried the following:
- upgraded to VirtualBox 5.1.8 with extension pack
- reinstalled Ekos VM with both the 1.1 driver and 1.8 driver
- tried to use the Atik camera as the guider
- checked the camera and connection are OK under Windows (using Artemis Capture) - all good
- checked Ekos is OK by connecting my QHY guider - all good

Are there any logfiles I can check? If so, where are they located?

Many thanks,

Graham

Graham, can you try to run atik_ccd_test to make sure it is camera related issue? Thank you, Peter

Hi Peter,

I've ran the atik_ccd_test and get the following:

Clearly something going on... :)

Graham, the camera may be underpowered. Is it connected directly to the computer or to some hub? Peter

Tried again with Artemis capture under Windows, works OK, so I'm at a loss as the camera seems OK, but the atik_ccd_test can't ping it.

Peter, The USB is directly connected to the computer (I've tried 3 different USB ports). I've also tried 3 different power supplies for the Atik - the last one was 12v and 3A.

Thanks, Graham

Camera is not initialised correctly, but I don't know why. First timeout is ok (flush), but timeouts in ping are not ok and I never saw them here.

I'll check it with the vendor, if they have some idea... Peter

Hi, I tried a different tack on this today and used a Raspberry Pi in remote mode, using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and Atik driver 1.8.

- the QHY5ii is fine
- the Xagyl filter wheel fails due to a permissions error
- Ekos still can't 'see' the Atik.

I tried running 'atik_ccd_test' on the Pi and it worked! - pings, read ccd, sample data, everything...

The output is attached.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks, Graham
