Just saw a new version coming in when I updated the software on the RPi3 but that didn't help:

I tried also on my Odroid and there it works:

I tried on another RPi3 and the same as the first RPi3. When I try on the Odroid I see that INDI sends the commands to the filter wheel and I see the indicator led on the filter wheel light up but the wheel doesn't turn :(

I tried again on my MacBook and there is a difference there compared to the Odroid. When I try to change filters on the Odroid I see the red led light up and that indicates the first slot. However, when I do this on Mac I see the colour light up for the correct slot, e.g. blue for 2, green for 3 etc.

Anyway, I grabbed logs on both Mac and Odroid doing the same thing: start INDI and then changing the filter from 1 (Red) to 2 (Blue). It worked on Mac and not on Odroid. The logs look similar to me and don't provide info on the difference between the two but maybe I am overlooking something. Please let me know if I can do more tests.

I have a QHY5, plugged in to my Odroid C1, all is fully up-to-date (full reinstall of system 2 days ago...) and I must say that the QHY5 isn't behaving correctly.
It does tend to lock up and I get the following message:
2018-10-13T19:09:11: [ERROR] GetQHYCCDSingleFrame error (-1)

To unlock, I need to park the mount (just to be sure I can restart from the same location), stop indi drivers and start again.
Only then I can use the QHY5 again, until the next random lockup...

Gonzothegreat. I've had an issue with the Orion SSAG using the QHY driver that causes the camera to lockup if the image capture is aborted. Likewise I have to restart the indi drivers to fix it.

I can confirm that on armhf systems, QHY library has linking issues. Still investigating...

Gonzo, I've had issues with my QHY5 for a looong time. It did work perfectly years ago with an old driver called qhy-old until it has been removed. My QHY5 didn't behave reasonably ever since. Lock-ups, no video, all sorts of weird issues. Finally, I bought a cam from a different manufacturer and had no issues anymore. Now I read you have lock-ups like I had many moons ago. This IMO is just ridiculous. They don't get their act together as far as software is concerned and I can't see how something like this is going to survive in the market longer term.

I bought an ASI camera and my impression was such that I bought another one a few weeks later. It's a 294 Pro for deep sky and a 294 for guiding. The 294 definitely is overkill for guiding but on the other side you'll never ever again struggle to find a guide star. Never! With Indi/Ekos I have never experienced ANY issues with any of these cameras. My QHY5 has disappeared in the bottom drawer. You can have it for 20 Euros, seriously.

I agree that in the past, I had no issues with the QHY5 but now it's a different story. Thinking about selling it really, will replace it with a Zwo camera. Maybe for Christmas.
Do not want to be let down in my automation due to the QHY5.
