Latest build 14-12-14 - cant connect to qhy5 was created by Steen

Hi,

Just upgraded to latest build and qhy5 does not connect anymore. Indyserver just try to restart the qhy driver repeatly:

2014-12-14T10:17:07: Driver indi_qhy_ccd: read <getProperties device='Telescope Simulator' name='EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD'>
2014-12-14T10:17:07: Driver indi_qhy_ccd: snooping on Telescope Simulator.EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD

2014-12-14T10:17:07: Driver indi_qhy_ccd: sending <getProperties version='1.7'/>
(... repeats...)

Used to work just fine on my 2x xubuntu 14.10 in a server-client setup, where I use eqmod (SW HEQ-5), gphoto (canon 1100D), FCUSB (Shoestring) and the QHY5 Mono for guiding.

By the way nice new features on the gphoto setup (ISO, subframe etc.). Thanks!

This is the "official" INDI QHY driver under development from QHY itself, but it is receving very little attention now (maybe due to holidays?). Please compile 3rdparty/indi-qhy-old for the older albeit working driver.

New driver doesn't support QHY5 as far as their new SDK doesn't support it. You have to use the old one. Peter

Hi,

Same thing for me. Unable to play with my QHY5. I think it is time to change. Under windows, it was the same thing. With this camera, you spend more time to install and configure the driver than using it.
I think, I'm jealous of Jasem. Everything is working fine when he's using his hardware on youtube (except when he forgot to plug ST4 cable ^^)

Where can I found, a complete list of autoguiders working under ekos. Christmas is coming !

Bye

You could get the Lodestar (they have a new version now), or the SBIG ST-I (the Mono version). Not sure if ATIK has a guide camera?

So, have the same problem with my Orion SSAG. I downloaded the 3rdparty drivers source and found no indi-qhy-old, just indi-qhy, when i try to build it, i get this:

This is with gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) btw. Any ideas on what is going wrong here?

Hi there.

I just tryed your suggestion, but I get exact the same error as wirh the "officiel" driver, when I, as root, write

# make install.

Looks like I got the officiel package, from the old directory, or what.

Any suggestion?
