Let me look at the QHY6 in the INDI-QHY driver. I believe the driver gets it's frame dimensions from the QHY SDK.

What version of SDK do you have installed? I will do some checking on my side.

One thing I see is your SDK is older.

How is your setup currently? Are you running INDI-Server on a raspberry pi?

Can you install the latest SDK?

Let me know.

Yes it does try to get the dimensions from the SDK but its getting 0 x 0 filled on INDI Panel.
In my case I am using the latest provided by INDI (21.10.26) but I have also tested 21.9.10 and QHY own version 21.10.12.
They all have both problems.

Ok. in the image you posted it shows 21.3.13. It does show 21.10.26 now?

I will do some digging.

Excellent, you must be on their "good customer list" :)

Where do I get the software they suggest? (for RPI).

Greetings guys,

I am not happy to see that you also have the same problems with QHY 6 and the problems still persist. But I am happy that you are chasing to find a solution. I found this manual for the live frame mode. www.qhyccd.cn/file/repository/publish/SD...YCCD_SDK_EN_2018.pdf . I think " Live frame mode" gets installed with the latest SDK you have installed. I am currently abroad and I will be back home to test my QHY 6 at the end of December. Good luck to everyone.

George.

Hi again.

Yes I have already tested the live and still frame samples and they both work without any problems at all.
But INDI problems persist anyway.
I did that test when I installed the sdk manually from QHY also following that PDF file.

Anyway tonight I will test again and post results as asked.

"Where do I get the software they suggest? (for RPI)."

It gets installed when you install the SDK from the downloads page at QHY.
here : www.qhyccd.com/html/prepub/log_en.html#!log_en.md

The RPi version is the ARM Download version, most likely the Arm_64 for most recent RPi.

Well I have just made the test with the latest SDK and it seems that qhy6 does not support live frame, here are my results:

INDI is pointing to a different place: libqhyccd.so.21 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libqhyccd.so.21
I have already replaced this symlink to the SDK one and the results are exactly the same.
