I am trying to write a python program that takes 10 pictures in a row and renames them as they are taken, but when I run the script, some of the pictures are missing. I end up getting Picture0, Picture1, Picture2, Picture4, Picture6, Picture7, Picture8, Picture9, or something of the like where a few numbers are skipped. I have successfully run the code once or twice where all the pictures came through, but most times, I end up with fewer pictures than I should.

indi_getprop -t 17 &
indi_setprop "SBIG CCD.CCD_EXPOSURE.CCD_EXPOSURE_VALUE=$1"
sleep 15
mv "SBIG CCD.CCD1.CCD1.fits" ~/mydirectory/"$2.fits"
sleep 2
Do I need an even longer delay between some of the commands, or is there some other issue here?

Hi all! I'm trying to simulate taking an exposure with the Raspberry Pi. I've tried the following sequence with no luck:

Open the first terminal:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ indiserver -v indi_simulator_ccd
2016-06-06T13:36:46: startup: indiserver -v indi_simulator_ccd 
2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: pid=1701 rfd=3 wfd=6 efd=7
2016-06-06T13:36:46: listening to port 7624 on fd 4
2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: snooping on Telescope Simulator.EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD
2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: snooping on Telescope Simulator.TELESCOPE_INFO
2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: snooping on CCD Simulator.FILTER_SLOT
2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: snooping on CCD Simulator.FILTER_NAME

2016-06-06T13:36:46: Driver indi_simulator_ccd: snooping on Focuser Simulator.FWHM

Open a second terminal:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ indi_setprop "CCD Simulator.CONNECTION.CONNECT=On"

When I send this command, the first terminal responds with:
2016-06-06T13:38:35: Client 0: new arrival from 127.0.0.1:37734 - welcome!
2016-06-06T13:38:35: Client 0: read EOF
2016-06-06T13:38:35: Client 0: shut down complete - bye!

Any ideas on why I'm getting this message?
