INDI Library v2.0.6 is Released (02 Feb 2024)

Bi-monthly release with minor bug fixes and improvements

Moravian G3-11000C1FW indi driver

Not enough yet, I need to know if a filter wheel is supported (either internal or external), preferably from the camera_info struct. For color vs mono, it seems any model with "C" is color so that's easy enough, and the bayer pattern is always RGBG. Source code is useful but not strictly necessary. Once that's figured out we're good to go.

Ok, will ask them, thou it seems that filterwheel is supported and can be an option on G2 and up models either internal or external.
Could the indi driver make it posible to determine it in the indi control panel ccd options before connecting to camera?
I think this is what they suggested.

While that's theoretically possible, it's not a good solution. There must be a way for the camera API to let us know if a filter wheel is available or not.

I agree its not a good solution, but may be only one.
Let's wait for awhile if they answer with more info.

So there has been no answer from moravian regarding how to know if there is a filterwheel present.
Do we have any other means to solve this?

Can you contact the actual manufacturer and ask them?

Now then. Got some info :)

"There is camera_info structure, and miccd_info call. For variants older
then G3 H, you can get in hwrevision bites bits set, if the camera has
internal filter wheel, and how many positions the wheel has."

"For G3 H and newer, I am adding miccd_info_h call. There you can find in
reply if the camera has internal/external filterwheel, and number of
filters."

"I need to decode exact bits from source code which I have from MI. I
will let you know where you can find the details."

So looks like our wait is over soon =D

You have to nag the manufacturer until they reply to you, it is the only way they will ever care to reply.
