Atik 314L Connection Problem - Yellow Light

Hi, just joined the forum. Installed INDI this weekend via VirtualBox.

Got my QHY5II guider and Xagyl filter wheel working fine, but my Atik 314L gives a Yellow light in the Control Panel when I try to connect and hardly gives any CCD options, so something not right. Both my cameras - QHY and Atik are recognised by the VM. I installed the Atik driver (64 bit debian) from the cloudmakers website.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Graham

I don't know why yet, but it seems, that recent Atik driver is broken. Even if it does work with all my Atik cameras, a lot of issues is reported :(

Please try version 1.1 instead and I let you know, that issue is fixed. Peter

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. Sorry if this is a dumb question... where do I get the previous version of the Atik driver?

Thanks, Graham

Please can you try version 1.8 (www.cloudmakers.eu/atikdrivers/). Peter

Difficult… I just tried our 314L some hours ago with 1.7 (Fedora 24, 64 Bit, repackaged version of 64 Bit Debian package) and it worked fine.

If it does work you have probably no reason to change it. 1.7 and 1.8 differs only in max usb packet size (16MB was apparently too much for some systems but not for another, that's why I missed it during tests). Peter

Hi, still no luck I'm afraid. Same 'yellow light'. I've tried the following:
- upgraded to VirtualBox 5.1.8 with extension pack
- reinstalled Ekos VM with both the 1.1 driver and 1.8 driver
- tried to use the Atik camera as the guider
- checked the camera and connection are OK under Windows (using Artemis Capture) - all good
- checked Ekos is OK by connecting my QHY guider - all good

Are there any logfiles I can check? If so, where are they located?

Many thanks,

Graham

Graham, can you try to run atik_ccd_test to make sure it is camera related issue? Thank you, Peter

Hi Peter,

I've ran the atik_ccd_test and get the following:

Clearly something going on... :)

Graham, the camera may be underpowered. Is it connected directly to the computer or to some hub? Peter
