Thanks. Your settings are OK. Did you try to randomly change the image settings (gain, dark offset, etc).
You're right, you captures are dark dark dark black
Could you please check your SDK version :
go to /usr/local/lib/ (or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/), you should find a group of files like this one :
I see version 1.6.6 in the folder. Btw I am using Ubuntu on my linux laptop and Raspbian on RPi. Testing is done on laptop, but I would like to use the camera mainly on Raspberry.
Hi Collin, I have tried it, but it remains the same. I have also checked the folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and 1.6.6 is still there, no 1.6.8 version. Have I done something wrong?
Thank you,
hades
edit: I see these builded files in the /usr/local/lib/ (not in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/). So i have copied them to the correct folder ( /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/) and build once again. Unfortunately, there is no improvement.
Did you try AstroDMx with your camera (ideally on a clean linux install, without the INDI driver, to avoid any library conflict) ?
According to SVBony, AstroDMX officially supports the SV305M Pro.
Or did you try it on Windows, just to be sure your camera isn't faulty.
Hi Collin, I haven't heard about AstroDMx yet. I can try it.
But I am sure that my camera is ok, because I have tried it with ASCOM on a Windows laptop.
Could you please get the attached zip file, deflate it, and type "Make" in the created folder ?
You will get a "test1" binary file. Then, plug your camera facing a light source, and type "./test1".
This simple test uses the last SDK. Could you then send back to me ? :
- the text output (if the SDK has been properly fixed, we should see the camera pixel size, 2.9 microns)
- the generated ".raw" file
My SV305M Pro is on its way. I hope I will get it soon. It should speed up a bit the fix.
Hi Collin, I haven't tested AstroDMX yet, but I will soon.
Here is the output from test execution:
