ZWO ASI6200MC Pro failing to capture images using SM1.5 + Kstars 3.4.1 was created by Kevin Jackson

Hi,
I'm trying to get my ZWO ASI6200MC Pro working with my SM 1.5 setup. Kstars is currently 3.4.1.

stellarmate@stellarmate:~/.ZWO $ dpkg -l | grep kstars
ii kstars-bleeding 6:3.4.1-stable~202002231946 armhf desktop planetarium for KDE
ii kstars-bleeding-data 6:3.4.1-stable~202002231946 all data files for KStars desktop planetarium
ii kstars-bleeding-dbg 6:3.4.1-stable~202002231946 armhf debug information for the desktop planetarium for KDE

stellarmate@stellarmate:~/.ZWO $ dpkg -l | grep asi
ii bsdutils 1:2.33.1-0.1 armhf basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite
ii indi-asi 1.6-stable~202002231611 armhf INDI Driver for ZWO Optics ASI cameras
ii indi-asi-dbg 1.6-stable~202002231611 armhf INDI Driver for ZWO Optics ASI cameras
ii libasi 1.3-stable~202002231549 armhf Library for ASI Cameras, Filter Wheel, Focuser and ST4
rg.kde.ksta‘+%


Debug output of loading, starting and capturing:

Warning: Spoiler!

The key line preventing this seems to be

org.kde.kstars.indi: INDI Server: "2020-02-29T11:57:59: Driver indi_asi_ccd: No INumber 'Gamma' in ZWO CCD ASI6200MC Pro.CCD_CONTROLS"
org.kde.kstars.indi: INDI Server: ""

I'm assuming this may not be a warning and can be ignored, so something isn't able to process what it needs to.

The ZWO ASI6200MC Pro is powered and works under Windows based environments (NINA, SharpCap Pro, etc)

You can ignore that.. is there problem with using the camera itself?

Camera is fine. The problem is as described - it connects all fine, but is unable to complete a capture of an image.
I'm not a developer so was only going on what was reported in the output that potentially could lead to a problem - especially if said developer assumes that Gamma entry in the XML requires to have an entry, and bombing out if not present.
So the situation is that it hangs on "Downloading image" despite the messages saying it has downloaded.

Submitting to Stellarmate support and Jasem solved this in a few hours.

Latest builds have this fixed.

stellarmate@stellarmate:~ $ dpkg -l | grep kstars
ii kstars-bleeding 6:3.4.2-stable~202002292034 armhf desktop planetarium for KDE
ii kstars-bleeding-data 6:3.4.2-stable~202002292034 all data files for KStars desktop planetarium
ii kstars-bleeding-dbg 6:3.4.2-stable~202002292034 armhf debug information for the desktop planetarium for KDE

Hi Folks, upgraded my setup to libindi 1.8.8 and Kstars-bleeding 3.5.1 I did some tests with the ASI6200MM.
The download still hands.
On the indiserver log, the following messages appear:

2021-01-03T20:35:52: Client 8: new arrival from 127.0.0.1:33178 - welcome!
2021-01-03T20:36:12: Client 8: 165398883 bytes behind, shutting down
2021-01-03T20:36:12: Client 8: shut down complete - bye!

the Asi6200MM works with ASICap under ubuntu 18.04.

Can somebody explain, what the issue is?
Regards,
Gerrit

Thank you for the report, we just pushed an update to fix this tissue. Can you run the Software Updater in SM OS Desktop or via the App? Alternatively, you can run the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
