Hi Collin, no, I am not sure. I have tried this on a fresh installation on my Intel NUC. Previously I have tested on a laptop. How can I find out if these two libraries are installed?
Anyway, I have tried to connect the camera and it worked. I have created darks library and also checked if camera reacts in different light conditions.
With regards,
Hades

Hi Jasem,

Sorry about that.

You have the SV305 Pro (color), not the SV305M Pro (mono), right ?
Which version of the driver do you have ?
On Intel or on Arm ?

I noticed that some settings (ROI, Binning and gain) don't apply to LiveView, unless you trigger a normal capture before.
Could you push the gain at max, and record a couple of frame in a ".ser" file ?

Could you also send me the driver logs ?

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Thx8411

Took 3-frame SER file, however SER player complain of 0 width file: www.dropbox.com/s/d66cnlj94inrzg2/indi_r...%4007-40-22.ser?dl=1

I didn't do any ROI, took full frame. The video looked fine when streaming when I adjusted the gain, so that's taken care of.

Hello Jasem,

Thanks.
Right, in your ser file, frame size fields are empty (0).
Weird...

I can't reproduce the issue, with both the 1.2.6 (actually available in your launchpad) and the 1.2.9 (my last version) versions.

Do you know what could produce this issue :

<< ROI, Binning and gain don't apply to LiveView, unless you trigger a normal capture before >>

Am I doing something wrong ?

Best regards,

I'm trying to get my SV305M Pro working with an astroberry setup and I'm pulling my hair.
I've tried building and installing the lib and drivers from your repo, running the indiserver seperate and from ekos with no success, the output I get is always2021-12-28T21:53:33: [ERROR] Error, get camera pixel size failed2021-12-28T21:53:27: [INFO] Attempting to find the SVBONY SV305 CCD...

And then nothing more, any pointers on what to try next?

Many thanks!

Hi Joakim, have you tried the latest release version of INDI? I have the same camera and with INDI v1.9.3 it is working properly

I built the latest from source in effort to get it working, but maybe a fresh install would do it, I'll give that a go after new years. 

The camera works with the raspberry using AstroDMx (and Sharpcap on windows) so the camera seems fine. 
Are you using 32 or 64 bit OS? 
Also I'm using the raspberry pi 4 8GB, what have you tried it on? 
Cheers

Hi Joakim,

Your error is a bug from the previous SDK. It as been  fixed since.

It looks like a library/package conflict issue.
I think you have the old broken version (standard package installation ?) and the one working installed side by side.
But sadly, your setup uses the wrong one.

Try to identify the old packages, and to remove it.

Best regards,

Thx8411

Max delta is 25°C below ambiant temperature.
Stable delta is about 20°C.

"Hot" dark is at 22°C
"Cold" dark is at -1°C

Gain at 360 (half max), 180s.
Amp glow at bottom right.

Best regards,

Thx8411

Pretty sure I tried it before, but now it worked:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

On the plus side I got the complete dev environment installed in the process

Well, that happiness was unfortunately short-lived :/
Pulled an update today (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade) and now the sv305 driver crashes when I try to connect. Pretty sure the sv305 driver didn't change, but it upgraded some indi packages (my Canon DSLR started working)
I've attached the logs, and this line seems worrying 
<code>INDI Server:  "2022-01-05T00:17:03: Driver indi_sv305_ccd: Impossible IPState 1598309187"</code>
Any idea on what to do?
Cheers!

Edit:
I was after these upgrades the sv305 stopped working (I looked in the apt-get history):
Upgrade: indi-bin:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi-data:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi-dev:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), libindi1:armhf (1.9.2-1, 1.9.3), indi-weather-mqtt:armhf (1.1-1, 1.1-2)
