Hi Knro,

I got the same error message yesterday evening then I was trying different settings to learn to use the EKOS.
Error message;
INDI SERVER Message -- Kstars
No QHY camera detected. Power on?
(See attached picture)

Here is that I have done today to try to fix the problem;
(May be I am doing something wrong)

1. I have downloaded StellarMate 1.29 image and wrote it to my SD card to start over again.
2. Put in the USB cabel from the QHY minicam 5F camera. (this is the third USB cabel I am trying with.)
3. I put in the SD card and turned on my raspberry pi and waited for ubuntu mate to finish starting up.
4. I started Kstars and then I clicked on the Ekos symbol, to start Ekos.
5. Then I clicked "next" in Ekos profile Wizard.
6. Clicked "Equipment is attached to this computer".
7. Clicked "Create profile & Select devices".
8. Here I only chose "QHY CCD" in CCD and no other devices.
9. To finish I clicked "Save".
10. In Ekos window I clicked "Start INDI".

Here I got the same error message again.
Error message;
INDI SERVER Message -- Kstars
No QHY camera detected. Power on?
(See attached picture)

I have attached some picture taken from the TV I am using with the StellarMate.

Here after I tried the QHY minicam 5f camera on a windows 10 machine I have used before with the camera.
I did not have any problems with the camera in windows 10. It worked with out any error messages.

I vent back to Stellar Mate and tried with the second QHY camera I have. It is a QHY 5L II color camera.
I used the same profile as before with QHY minicam 5f. I clicked "Start INDI" and a second window pop up with all the settings for that camera.
I vent into "CCD & filter wheel" fan and pressed "preview" button and got a preview picture.

The last thing I have done is to run lsusb command in terminal window. I have attached a picture showing the result with the QHY minicam 5f.

What can I do next ??

Best regards,
Lars
