Good you can restore the previous version.

I tested my 314 with the current git version on a Rpi2 and it work without problem. So it is just a matter to update the ppa with this version.

I will test this new driver at some point, but right now I cannot really mess about and waste some time. I have to re-align the mount before I leave back home.. and using the mini guider for it isn't too great so I need my Atik 314+ to work perfectly.

Here's a 60 sec taken with the Atik 314 in case someone wants to take a look at it.
This is not a jpeg, it is a fits file, had to change the extension to be able to upload it here.

Attempting to compile this driver from source too. Am I missing the obvious? Do I need more coffee?

You need to build and install libatik directory first, you currently have older version which doesn't yet have those debug callbacks.

thanks

I am trying to understand something, as the newly compiled version is available over PPA, I have installed it and noticed something interesting.

let's remove it first:
# apt-get remove libatik indi-atik indi-full
# cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
# ll libatik*
ls: cannot access 'libatik*': No such file or directory

let's install it:
# apt-get install indi-atik libatik indi-full
# ll libatik*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 20 11:59 libatik.so -> libatik.so.2

Why do I have two broken symlinks???

You probably had the previous driver from Cloudmakers install. Purge everything atik* or libatik* and reinstall again.

I do not have the CloudMaker one installed, I did purge it the other day.

Hi,

I'm a physics teacher and I'm setting up an observatory at my school. We have an Atik One 6.0 CCD camera with an Atik GP guider camera. I would like to run all of it with Ekos under Ubuntu 18.04. I am using KStars 3.00 and the new ATIK drivers (Version 2.1).

I have run into the following problems trying to run the camera and the guider:

1) Atik One 6.0 connects but the following problems occur:
- I can't set the filter names permanently
- changing from filter position 1 to 2 does not move the filter wheel / a subsequent change from filter position 2 to 3 (in Ekos) moves the filter number 2 in front of the sensor and so on ... I can never reach filter position 5
2) Atik GP guider camera doesn't even show up in the INDI Control Panel
3) I can choose between "Atik" and "ATIK CCD" in the Profile Editor and don't know the difference (if there is any)

Using the cloudmaker Atik driver changes the filter problem but the guider shows up in the INDI control panel but never connects.

I'm grateful for any help on this since I would like to start observing with my students soon and have to switch to Artemis Software under Windows, if I don't get this to run under Ekos. And who would want that?

Cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,

our (CloudMakers) INDI driver definitely worked with Atik One (I have one) and to some extent worked with Atik GP (I have one as well). If it is detected but can't be connected, maybe USB rules script failed for some reason. Check permissions for device created for the camera in /dev/bus/usb/something... You can use lsusb command to find which one is it.

Atik GP is actually PointGrey Chameleon camera and only basic IIDC modes are supported by INDI driver, what limits e.g. available resolutions or framerates. If you want full support, you need to use INDIGO IIDC driver, but it will not work for you out of the box because of design flaw in Ekos. Camera reports itself correctly as PointGrey Chameleon and not as CCD IIDC as supposed by Ekos. But it should work, if you will run Atik and IIDC drivers in separate INDIGO server instead of built in INDI server. It will be also faster, because you will save one interprocess boundary.

Peter

Hello Simon,

"Atik" is the newer INDI driver built on Atik SDK. Regarding the Atik filter wheel, I just tested it and it works just fine, including saving filter names. . Which driver are you selecting for that? Make sure it's "Atik EFW".
