I'm afraid I'm having some difficulties. I have followed the new gphoto tutorial and set the appropriate options in image_info. Once in ekos the camera will not capture. I'm not sure if there is anything important I'm missing in the indi configuration. I've attached a screen shot.

Also, I'm not clear as to the order of opening up the software, devices, ekos etc. Once kstars is open, do I load my device first, then ekos? Sorry if I"m missing basic information - I've tried to follow the info the best I can.

I use magic lantern for my canon dslr. Is that compatible with ekos?

Thanks

1. Open KStars
2. Open Ekos
3. Select profile (if different from currently selected)
4. Click Start
5. After devices are created, click "Connect".

For the Canon error, did you check the INDI Control Panel for details on the error itself? There were changes in the PPA in the last couple of days so some drivers were having issues. Try an update today before you try again.

Thanks Jasem,

I followed your steps - thanks. But I'm still having the same problem. Here is a printout of the errors:
Is there a way I can send you what I have selected on the indi panel? Mirror lock is not enabled.

Cheers Richard

I was testing my 600D today and I got exactly the same error as above. I simply unplugged USB cable, turn off camera, hooked it up to different USB port, turned it on, and then I tried again and no more error. I also checked if SD card was full or battery was low, but it wasn't that. Anyway, it is working now. Sometimes it is a transient hardware issue.

Thanks. I will try that. Do you think that is an issue with gphoto?

I discovered that my intervelometre setting (bulb timer) on magic lantern was on when I tried to connect. All is working fine now!
