I just noticed I can't switch binning for my autoguider (QHY CCD) to 2x2. Is that a known bug?

I think it is at least I could bin before the new SDK.
I posted a message about it,

indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/1293-regres...g.html?start=12#8715

Are you getting this message: "SetBin Mode Failed, invalid bin resquested 2x2" ?

Mm, in software at least it did a couple of versions ago, I've been using it successfully at 2x2 for a year.

Me too, in software, before the SDK change and it worked very well.
Meanwhile I had to move to an ASI120MM

I re-enabled software binning in the driver in case the SDK does not offer it.

Great! Thanks Jasem. So why was it it was removed, did it cause problems with other cams?

It was because the SDK was providing binning, but apparently not to all cams (even though when it's software binning), so I enable it back in the driver in the SDK does not provide it.

Hi again, I have update yesterday and just now but unfortunately it's not working, the driver keeps
giving the message "SetBin mode failed. Invalid bin requested 2x2"

I finally have some clear skies again and the binning problem is still present. Guiding is still possible, but jumpier unfortunately.

Please post this as well to QHY, they can be slow in their response.
