I just have bought a new QHY5L-II mono.
I get errors while downloading
Build: 2021-01-08T10:53:30Z

2021-01-24T14:22:10: [INFO] Exposure done, downloading image...
2021-01-24T14:22:10: [ERROR] GetQHYCCDSingleFrame error (-1)

If someone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful.

Same problem here with a 5L-II color
2021-01-24T18:27:50: [ERROR] GetQHYCCDSingleFrame error (-1)
Tried the update, tired the Nightly build and a few re-installs from the ground up, still no luck. Camera works in NINA on Windows and oddly enough will occasionally successfully get a picture after a very long download period if I just use the set exposure butting within the INDI control panel vs EKOS CCD interface. Was working great a week ago. On Ubuntu 20.04.1 if that helps any.

I had the same problem, too. Replacing the QHY library as suggested by Hy fixed it — at least when test running the camera without anything else connected. When using with Ekos, the same problem persist when I use at the same time the INDI driver for the filter wheel QHYCFW2. When I disconnect it the camera takes again images happily.

Hey,
I have a similar issue with the QHY5III 462 color cam. I can't connect it in kstars.
When using <code>lsusb</code> I get the following output:So the camera is visible. However running the test <code>/usr/bin/qhy_ccd_test</code> gives:The SDK is (<code>sudo ldd /usr/bin/indi_qhy_ccd |grep libqhy*</code>):
I built kstars and indi including indi 3rdparty drivers from source just 2 days ago.
I tried running <code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade</code> but I still got the same error when running <code>/usr/bin/qhy_ccd_test</code>. Trying different USB cables and both USB3.0 and USB2.0 also didn't work, so they don't seem to be the source of the issue. At this point I don't know how to find/solve the issue..
My ToupCam IMX571 color CCD and EQMod mount run perfectly in kstars.

If "lsusb" shows "Cypress" and not "QHYCCD" then that probably means the firmware wasn't loaded. Unfortunately, the fxload utility that's packaged is out of date. You must download and build one that supports newer USB3 cameras from

sourceforge.net/projects/fx3load/

After you build it, copy it to /sbin/fxload, and either unplug/replug the camera, or reboot

That is correct, however it is the OS that has the wrong FXLoad in the distribution (most ubuntu 20.04 have the USB2 versions) The Beta GITHUB INDI 3rdparty distribution has the correct FXLOAD (FX3) now. The next update to the standard INDI driver should have the correct FXLoad.

But yes, he is quite correct, you can build and install FX3 version on his link.
