Hi again,
I am revisiting this issue as I would like to operate the dsi for Photometry. I am still having no luck in connecting the DSI to Ekos.

lsusb shows the camera is connecting to usb, but when trying to connect the dsi in kstars I get the following error returned:

" 2020-09-10T09:46:01: [INFO] Unable to find DSI. Has the firmware been loaded?" and the "Red connection light" shows in "INDI control Panel-KStars"

Any help to sort this out would be appreciated.

One thing that I notice is that you're using a 32-bit version of indi. Is this intentional? I can't think of why this wouldn't work, but it seems strange (given that the D430 has a 64-bit capable processor).

Hi Bruce,
Yeah, you're camera is fine...it's the INDI install that seems to be busted. The issue is that some of the symbols in the indi_dsi_ccd driver are not being resolved. These symbols should be defined in libindidriver. Could you post the output of this:

nm /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.1

Thanks,
Ben

Could you post the output of this:

What I'm asking is to execute that command in a shell. On ubuntu it might be called terminal or shell. If you just get a message saying something about "no symbols" then you could try doing:
nm -D /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.1

I tested this on a 32-bit ubuntu (non-studio) 18.04.5 (via docker) and everything looks fine. I'm not sure what could cause this??

I enter in the teminal: " sudo nm -D /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.1"
OR nm -D /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.1
and it returns " No such file "

Also I think my Cam is actually a DSI II Pro (mono)

Ben,can i ask what linux distro you are using?
Maybe i should change to the same and then try again.
I have been using ubuntu studio, however it does not worry me what i use for the Astro stuff.
