Garth created a new topic ' QHY driver 1.5 on Pi?' in the forum. 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm exploring whether I can use INDI server on my Pi and for the most part, everything seems great! The part that doesn't work as well is my SSAG. Judging from other research I've done on the web, the SSAG seems like the outcast QHY5 stepchild, and I can't quite tell whether it should even work at all with indi_qhy_ccd.

What's interesting is that the SSAG seems to work when I connect it directly to my MBP running EkosVM. I can connect, adjust the exposure length and take an image without an issue. While I haven't done any actual guiding off it, the exposure I take (of the ceiling) seems consistent with with what I'd get if I were to take an exposure with it using PHD on my Windows laptop.

When I run INDI server off the Pi, it connects and I can adjust the settings. The image I get back after taking an exposure that suggests something isn't quite right.

Other than the obvious differences between my MBP and the Pi, the QHY driver version on the Pi is 1.6 while the one on EkosVM is 1.5.

I've attached two screenshots, one showing the image taking from EkosVM when the camera is locally attached to the laptop. The other image is what I get back when KStars is talking to the Pi.

Is using the SSAG with INDI a crapshoot or have I come across a bug? Or Both? If the SSAG should be reasonably well supported using the QHY driver perhaps I could try regress to version 1.5 on the Pi?

Can anyone offer some insight as to what's going on?

(Apologies if this is a repost, my first submission seemed to evaporate into the ether.)

Thank you!
