Guiding cam timeout

Hi there!

Back after a long bad-weather-period today.
Got a newdevice. The Pegasus-Astro Powerbox advance. Nice piece of tec.
Anyway... I hope it has NOT to do with the new device.
I had similar problems before too...



My new problem is, that the guidingcam, a lodestar X2, is timing out after some time (random) and so the worst case is sometimes KStars crashes or that the guiding is "skipping some steps" and after maybe 20sec the guiding keeps going on.
It "FELT" for me like a overfilled "pipe" so i thought maybe its a "traffic-thing"

And i was right, after changing to bin 2x2 the system runs with no problems. I mean for now.

Changed cables but the same problem. I also tried to connect the cam DIRECT to the Laptop but the problem still occurs. Only binning the cam seems to help.

Has someone an idea what else i could do? Binnig the cam for sure can NOT be the long-term solution.

I will get you some logs if you like tomorrow, bcause the system is in a very "sensitive" state and reacts with crashing very fast so i will keep my hands off.

Greetings
Niki
