Hi guys
Seem to be having real problems getting anything from my Lodestar tonight (sort of worked a few nights ago but only really clear tonight) I think its to do with the image settings I have in Ekos but I`m baffled as to what it requires ;-( see screenshot
My Lodestar has a chip size 752x580 and pixel size 8.2x8.2 microns but the `image settings` won`t let me input what I think it reqs? I keep getting the error message -
`Error: Invalid range for Y. Valid range is from 0 to -1. Requested value is 0.1` regardless of what I enter for Y , I`ve tried -0.2 which I`ve always believed is between 0 to -1 and all sorts of values in between???.
I`ve printed off the setup guide but its not very clear whats required its the `Frame` part that seems to be the problem Left, Top ,width and height all require 2 values but I`m unsure what??. Anyone tell me where I`m going wrong please as the prospect of going back to Windoze is raising its head, a path I really don`t want to go down



regards
Steve

Hi Steve, I will check what's wrong with SX driver. Peter

Steve, can you try to run sx_ccd_test and paste output here? Thank you, Peter

Hi Peter
Thanks for the reply.
sx test result below, I`m no expert but it looks like a usb fault
sx_ccd_test version 1.6

Steve, it seems that some other program (or other driver instance) already claimed the device. Peter

Cheers for that Peter, I`ve just had a swap round with usb plugs and all seems well at the moment ruddy computers!
Will try again tonight!
Best
Steve
