Support for QHY5R-II was created by Daniel

Hello,

I am trying to run the QHY5R-II on Ubuntu 16.04. When starting EKOS or the indiserver combined with CCDciel the camera is connected, but when I try to take an exposure it hangs while downloading. The errors, I described already in the QHY-forum:

qhyccd.com/bbs/index.php?topic=5714.0 (Reply #4), but here is probably the better place to ask what to do.

Is there a roadmap to support also this model, after 5L and 5P are already supported? Is there any workaround to run this camera with INDI.

With best regards,
Daniel

What's the VID:PID of the camera? QHY is working on their SDK as it has still suffers from several problems that are pending for many users.

Thanks for you reply

lsusb shows:
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 1618:0921

Indiserver prints:
Driver indi_qhy_ccd: pid=23092 rfd=3 wfd=6 efd=7 (but this number is changing)

CCDciel prints:
QHY5RII-C-9137d7e0f33c7355

Does this information help?

It looks like it's supported by the SDK. You can perhaps Debug logging under Options and besides INDI log, there will be a separate QHY log at /tmp, try to capture again and after that attach the QHY log.

I tried to do an 1s exposure.

The QHY log shows the following:
2017-08-23 21:24:58.796 LOG_ALARM -----------------  log4z thread started!   ---------------------------- 
2017-08-23 21:24:58.797 LOG_ALARM logger id=0 key=Main name=indi_qhy_ccd path=/tmp/ level=1 display=1

2017-08-23 21:25:14.957 LOG_DEBUG ~QHY5IIBASE (qhy5iibase.cpp):76 

CCDciel log shows:
21:25:15:QHY CCD QHY5RII-C-9137d: Connected to QHY5RII-C-9137d7e0f33c7355.
21:25:15:Camera connected

21:25:18:QHY CCD QHY5RII-C-9137d: Set BlobMode CCD1

The QHY log stops before the CCDciel log tries to set "BlobMode CCD1"
Than everything hangs. When I start kstars with EKOS the same QHY report is created.

Please update PPA as there is updated QHY driver with updated SDK. Run qhy_ccd_test and post the results.

The output from running "indi_qhy_test" directly, you can find in the Attachment "dummy.txt"

By running it in the indiserver, I get following result:
indiserver -v indi_qhy_test

qhy_ccd_test is a standalone test without INDI just to check if there are issues with the camera. I relayed the log to QHY and waiting for their update.
