I'm sorry, but i'm very new to linux and INDI.

I have an qhy filter wheell 2 (used in the qhy9) running in rs 232 mode.

I can get it to connect, but only shows 5 filters (it has 8 positions), and on the options there is no option to change que amount of slots.

How do I update the qhy driver?

(Speciffically, what apt-get comand shoud I run? (Using ubuntu mate on a RPi 3B+)

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar issue, I can't set the number of filters on qhycfw2 to 7, it doesn't show any place to do it.

Is that on MacOS? KStars 3.2.0 is not yet released.. I suppose I can ask Robert if he has time to make a beta image.

For QHYCFW3, there is no settings because it automatically detects the maximum number. IF it reports wrong number, please share the logs

For QHYCF2, there is a Filter (Count) setting in Main Control where you can set the number of filters before you connected. Make sure to go to Options --> Configuration Save to make sure it sticks.

When disconnected there is no such option:







And when connected, the number of filters is default of 5:

Ok, I updated the indilib and all (using nightly ppa).

The dialog now appears, I can set the number of filters:



I do this before conecting to the filter wheel, set number to 7, click save.

But on connecting the number is still 5 filters:



Am I doing something wrong?

So I found the fixed the issue with QHYCFW2, please check in the next nightly or you can git pull now.

Could you tell me how to "git pull"?

With the usual apt-get update and upgrade, the problem persists, the filter slots are not being correctly set.

If I set it to 7, save, quit, and open again indi manager, the slot number reverts back to 5.

After installing the latest nightly, still, the same.

Even if I set the number of filters to 7 (while the FW is disconnected) and set, save the config and reconnect, the amount of filter is still 5.

Looks like the setting is not being written correctly or something like that.
