Hi Jasem!

I'm new to this so I don't know all the tools yet.
I built the ekos debugger according to the instructions in this post: indilib.org/forum/ekos/7245-new-tool-eko....html?start=12#75533
and I got the attached logs by running the indiserver from the tool.

I haven't done c/c++ since my school days and I don't know the the project that well yet, so I don't know what to make of the segfault, any ideas?

Thanks!

Another update,
I flashed a fresh Raspberry buster and used the AstroPI3 script to install everything. All drivers I'm using (incl sv305) worked. What was missing was the ekos part of kstars. That was solved by installing it from the ppa.
So in short I have a setup that works, but I don't know if I'll ever dare to update it...

Hello,

I tested some deep sky imaging with the SV305M Pro last night.

29 x 5 min subs, gain at 110.
SV503 70/420 + 0.8 FF
H-Alpha 12nm (Moon at 92%)



Best regards.

I got the indi_sv305_ccd driver compiled (and linked) on OSX !!!
It works!

Hi folks,

I'm using the sv305-Pro on astroberry, like a server so well. But last night I'had want to record a video from EKOS (on a PC) and told me that I haven't permision for to acces to the local directory (on PC). Then I tried to do it again but this time save the video on Raspy (astroberry) directly but gave me an error that say (someting like): Video was interrupted or acces denied.
I remmeber that if I did this process by VNC connection, works and then take the video from the raspi. But now if I want to do it by  Client-PC (KStar-EKOS) to the astroberry (Server) I can't do it. 
There are someone, could give me some ideas about how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Pep

Hello PEP,

Sorry, I don't know Astroberry well. I use Stellarmate.
Did you check the processes owners ?

Hi folks !

I received a SV905C sample from SVBony yesterday.
I already patched the driver : github.com/thx8411/indi-3rdparty
It needs some more testing, but all basic features seem OK.

Best regards,

Blaise
 

It was great to find this thread and read it bottom to top. Amazing work Collin in development and support of these SV cameras. I have the new 905C and with luck I should be able to test it tonight as a guide camera on my simple RP4 StellarMate connected Canon DSLR/Rokinon 135mm/AZ-GTi rig because the skies are on track to be amazing, on a weekend night! 

Will "sudo apt install libsv305 indi-sv305" install your driver update for the 905 or will I need do a more involved build?

 

I think I answered my own question that "sudo apt install libsv305 indi-sv305" did find an update but I don't believe it's the one for the 905. Starting Ekos just gave a repeated driver crashed error. So I pieced together enough info in the thread to build the driver with limited command line experience. Still no joy but I think I'm very close. 

My steps so far:

This returns a promising: 

stellarmate@stellarmate:~/sv305-build $ indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd
2022-02-27T15:39:30: startup: indiserver ./indi_sv305_ccd 
2022-02-27T15:39:30: Driver ./indi_sv305_ccd: Camera(s) found

The device tab in Ekos says it's a 905, but when starting the Ekos test profile using the remote server I get:

2022-02-27T16:05:46: [ERROR] Error, open camera failed. 
2022-02-27T16:05:46: [INFO] Attempting to find the SVBONY SV305 CCD... 


I feels like I'm so close!

EDIT:

I added:
But it had no effect. When I check the General Info tab it still says Version: 1.2

I see I only built one half of what was needed. I didn't do the libs. I'm up and running!

EDIT: Scratch that. Everything is on fire. I'm out of my league. I can't get it to play nice with the main CanonDSLR. Repeated Ekos crashes. I'm slowly backing away until it gets put in prod. The sky is looking too good tonight to trust dev.  

Hello Chris !

Sorry, I was a bit busy.

You're right, you must build and install libsv305 before building and installing indi-sv305.

My patch is now merged in the main repository.

Best regards !

Hello !

The new binary packages, supporting the SV905C are now available in the INDI Nightly Builds repository (except for arm64, don't know why build failed).

Best regards !
