Hi patdut, for USB 2.0, flashing the firmware has proven to be very usefull and solved most of the problems.
The problem is that you can only flash USB 2.0 cameras, on their site USB 3.0 cameras don't even have that option:

"ASI Cameras Firmware Upgrade Tool (USB2.0 only)"

One thing I have noticed with my ASI120MM (usb 2.0), building the driver from sources sometimes makes miracles.
I stopped using ppa sources as sometimes the builds gave a lot of issues. I never had such problems again since I switched to sources.
Could you try to rebuild the driver youself?

I had similar problem with my ASI120MC-S (USB 3) when I bought it, it just couldn't take any exposure and went into infinite loop in Ekos. I flashed with USB 2.0 *-compatible firmware and since then never had any issue.

EDIT: ****WARNING**** Flash ASI120MC-S with USB 2 firmware at your own risk

USB3 camera with USB 2.0 firmware? Good to know! Thanks
Their site is misleading regarding that! In that case, maybe that will solve it.

I think they have changed their software download page recently, when I downloaded the firmware it didn't have USB 2 mentioned in the brackets else I would've never tried

My personal experience has been positive with the firmware update and i only use this camera for autoguding.

All the best

I would be very careful with flashing a device with other firmware. You can brick your camera this way.
Are you sure you successfully flashed USB 3.0 camera with USB 2.0 firmware?
I believe you should edit your post and warn users about unpredictable results if they follow this recommendation.

@bads3ct0r
Does this mod influence the performances of the camera in fps ?
The fact that you have similar problems reassure me. I feel less alone. Did you warn Sam or Yang, the guys of Zwo, about your problem ?

Use of USB 2.0 firmware in USB 3.0 hardware is probably a bad idea, but we had issues with this camera in INDIGO as well and is hopefully fixed now (at least at mac and for the camera I have). You may try it and if it will work, Rumen can backport it to INDI.

Why those two products exist, i mean INDI and INDIGO ?

INDI and INDIGO have actually completely different architectures, intended use and also licenses. But INDIGO is backward compatible with INDI on network protocol level, what is probably sufficient for use with Ekos. Peter

@Peter
I can't install the deb package. So I compiled it from git content.
well I have tested the zwo cams 178MM and 120MM-S they work both nicely. But as there is no EQMount, xagyl wheel and Moonlite focuser, I can't use INDIGO

The log of the package install sorry it is in french:

You can combine INDIGO and INDI, just add INDI driver to indigo_server command line with -i switch in front of driver path. Try

indigo_server --help

for more options and connect to the same port as used by INDI protocol with browser to set other options.

It looks, that you have some conflict with previously installed SBig USB rules.

Fellow users I do apologies and WARN you in advance before you flash your USB 3 ASI120 with USB 2 firmware.

As I did mention that when I flashed my camera the download page had different content and there was no clear mention of USB 2 only.

Performance wise I couldn't clearly benchmark as my camera wasn't working on Ekos when I bought.

Cheers!
