Thanks Rumen for the setup guide, I will test it as soon as possible.
To kkretzsch I equally confirm that you can use the ASI FW with other astronomy caméras.For example, I use it whith a Atik 314L+.
You only need a system to drive the FW...of course, choose INDI ;-)
Best regards

Hello, everybody, hello Rumen,
Sorry to bother you once more :-)
Tonight a had time to do some more tests whith my EFW.
As you said that rules will be chaged in an update, i did the update of my RPI3. I simply lauche the Software updater of ubuntu mate.

Once done, I test to start indi in local mode and, like before, my EFW is wasn't recognize.

So I decide to makes the chages you talk about : change the botom lines of /lib/udev/rules.d/99-asi.rules
When i open the file, I saw that those lines alrady exists. (the update have been done)

Like before, I can use the EFW by lanching it in "server mode" so it is fine.
But, may be there is only little thing to do to make it work in local mode.

Feel free to ask me for more tests.

Best regards
David

Did you reboot the RPI or did you execute
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
before testing?

Hi
Do you have udev installed and running?
Try this:
$ apt-cache policy udev
udev:
Installed: 229-4ubuntu12
Candidate: 229-4ubuntu12

if not installed - install it:
$sudo apt-get install udev

if installed check if started:
$ sudo service --status-all | grep udev
[ + ] udev

if shows [ - ] do:
sudo service udev start

if it doesn’t work after this... maybe someone else may be able to help :)
Here is where my ideas are over...

Hello Rumen,
I have checked all you talk about.
Everything was ok :
udev alredy installed and runing on my RPI.
Here is what the termina command returns.
****
bregou@bregou-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy udev
udev:
Installé : 229-4ubuntu12
Candidat : 229-4ubuntu12
Table de version :
*** 229-4ubuntu12 500
500 ports.ubuntu.com xenial-updates/main armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
229-4ubuntu10 500
500 ports.ubuntu.com xenial-security/main armhf Packages
229-4ubuntu4 500
500 ports.ubuntu.com xenial/main armhf Packages
****
For some tests I have installed "xenial" maybe that is what makes some issues...

Thanks Rumen
Best regards

I am sorry! I did my best to help!
I ran out of ideas :(
It works fine here.
What I can say is that It is not a driver issue.
It is a system configuration issue.

Dear all.
I had a similar issue and was it solved to edit the rule in /etc/udev/ instead of /lib/udev. Unfortunately both exist in the system I don't know why but it was success for me.
Kind regards

Hi All,

I made my own udev rules which also create a symlink with a logical name so that I can check for the presence of this named link to see if the system recognizes the device or not. This may help in determining if the udev rules are applied.
# ZWO filterwheel
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03c3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f01", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="ZWO_EFW"

which then looks like this in /dev/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    15 Nov 18 22:44 ZWO_EFW -> bus/usb/002/011

This symlink is not used by the driver, it's just intended for Humans :)

Hi,
I puchased a EFW and tested it immediately. It worked right from the beginning without any problems on my Ubuntu LTS 16.04. Cool stuff, thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Klaus
