I've upgraded to an ASI174mm mini as guidecam, guiding primarily through PHD2. And I have some very intermittent issues with it: it simply freezes and does not produce an image. PHD2 tries to reconnect, but fails. The only output I get from the log file is this:
ASI174MM Mini : "[ERROR] Failed to get data after exposure (1936x1216 #1 channels) (ASI_ERROR_TIMEOUT). "
I have switched USB cables, now running an USB 3-cable directly from the guidecam to the USB3-port on the Raspberry Pi. Interesting, if I go to Indi control panel and manually click on Exposure there, it capturs one frame and then, it works again!! But Ekos can seemingly not "restart" or reconnect.
So I have checked the checkbox for camera NOT supporting streaming - but I still get the errors - I've had twice tonight. And just as before, I can "restart" the camera by taking an exposure from the Indi control panel for the guidecam.
And I still get no more info from the logs, except error, that is.
have you tried connecting the cam directly in PHD2 instead of going via INDI?
When I use PHD2 with a ZWO cam, I also connect the cam via the ZWO Cam in the PHD2 selector box, not Indi cam.
Hi!
Good idea! In that way, if I get it right, the indi driver is not at all used, right?
I tried last night - so far not freezing - however, being a very intermittent problem, much more testing is needed!
