Nothing has changed so telescope focal length is correct and pixel size should be correct unless it is getting mangle somewhere else.
Same here, after sync and rebuild the three repos it's working as expected. At least for cooling. I've tried with a ramp of 5 d/C and it has been controlling the temperature:
2021-05-26T13:11:41: [INFO] Setting temperature to 0.00 C.
2021-05-26T13:10:36: [INFO] Setting temperature to 4.30 C.
2021-05-26T13:09:31: [INFO] Setting temperature to 8.70 C.
2021-05-26T13:08:26: [INFO] Setting temperature to 12.80 C.
2021-05-26T13:07:26: [INFO] Setting temperature to 15.10 C.
So far so good. The problem arises when you turn off the cooling. The ramp is not used, the camera switches off the cooling power completly and start to warmup inertially... then around 1 minute on the process, the ramp code kick off again and sets the current temperature minus the slope and turn on the cooler, so here we go down again
I'm using the ASI driver (The camera is an ASI533MC). Right now I can cool down to the desired temperature and at the end of the session warmup until a temperature high enough before switching off.
But after reading the comments from the manufacturer I start to believe that this issue about the "thermal shock" is mainly an urban legend.
