QHY5L-II Again was created by Wim Rappé

Thank you very much for creating this wonderful tool. But unfortunately, I cannot get past a certain point.

I have a QHY5L-II ccd connected to a Raspberry Pi2. When I start the indiserver and try to connect to it, the server seems to disconnect:

CCDCiel output:
11:44:52:Initialized
11:44:54:Connecting camera...
11:45:04:No response from server
11:45:04:Is "QHY CCD QHY5LII-M-6047d310f33c7353" a running camera driver?
11:45:04:Camera server disconnected
INDIServer output:
$ indiserver -v indi_qhy_ccd

The camera is working as verified with lin_guider on the same system. Also I can use CCDCiel to modify camera settings in the INDI settings window. There is also and option for video recording. When I enable this a video file is created with footage from the camera.
Can anyone point me in the direction of where the fault may be located? I have searched a lot on this and other forums and found many possibilities, but nothings seems to help me.

Thank you very much in Advance

Seems to be working. Did you try it from Ekos?

I don't have a linux operating system at my disposal at the moment. But I will try to run Ekos here in a box on windows. I will try to verify with EKOS and come back to you if needed.

Ekos does not currently run on Windows. You can use Ekos VM under windows and see how that goes.

I guess at this point contact CCDIel author for help.

I downloaded a virtualbox environment to run Kstars. From there, I was able to connect to my QHY. Somehow after this, I also got connected with CCDCiel but only one time. So I think there is something not right on the CCDCiel side. I also tested my DSLR and that one seems to work both under CCDCiel and EKOS. Although I still need to get the settings right.

Thank you for helping with this.
