Hello everyone
Soon, I hope and cross my fingers, I will receive a sv305-pro. To use it as a tracking camera using ekos, but not the direct st4 tracking port it incorporates. What should I keep in mind in:
· Start-up? (how to check that the camera works .... what do you suggest?)
· Configuration in INDI and Ekos?
· Driver to use? (do I need to update / install the new driver version for svbony sv305? how do I do it without not having to update the rest all libraries)
I use a raspi4 but as a server, I connect to it via kstars / ekos from the PC in my home office.

The USB3, now, I have the OnStep only and the USB2 I have the Pentax and a webcam that I will remove. So I have a free USB3 and a USB2, where I connect the sv305-pro (to the remaining usb3, right?)?

Thanks for the recommendations?

Hi to every body,

Lately, I've had issues with kstars / ekos running directly on raspi4. If I only use the indi-server on the raspi4 (using kstars / ekos as a client on a PC with Ubuntu and all over a cable network) it doesn't happen.
From what you say, maybe the problem comes more from kstars or ekos on the raspi.
I'm waiting for a sv305Pro and I hope I have no problems ... I'll tell you (if it comes to me).

Thanks a lot ginger,
When you say that is a bit fiddly, What do you reffer abaut?
Is complicated to set for work?
I supose that for usb3, is a little bit more quicker to take photos, don't you?
Thanks a lot.

Hi colleagues,
Someone test the sv305 Pro? Works fine on indi-svbony driver? (is usb3)
Thanks a lot,

Hi Arado,

I propouse an idea, you review if there are any mistake and then you send me (or paste all the paremeters, places where do it,... ) that you want I check .
And all the steps (comands and options )to execute and I give you the results. I removed all the test that you propouse it.
And, I undertand now, why the kstars needs the gps system...
Really all of you are genius .
Thanks again
Pep
Pd: I hope this weekend I hope to debuted on control remotely my telescope and take photos and guide....

I post the solution step for not forget it:

After some talk with Jasem :
"I'm starting to suspect that something else is interfering with it. Maybe the GPS daemon? in dmesg it was shown pps0
Try to disable gpsd:
sudo systemctl stop gpsd gpsd.socket"

...
But the problem returned so the final solution:
Now totally disabled the gpsd deamon. Edited the /etc/default/gpsd script and made:

START_DEAMON="false"
USBAUTO="false"
and also put # in front of the rest...
And Now works perfectly.

For my hand is SOLVED!!!
Thanks to all,
Pep

Hi Arado,

Firstly, I'm so sorry I'm a little bit dislexic.
I copy the results after to change ttyUSB* for ttyACM* and after reboot:

Hi Arado,

There are 60-gpsd.rule I supose that is the indi services that you toll before and definet like "tty".

Then afer to do the changes that you propose the results are (on GARMIN.rule file):

astroberry@astroberry:~ $ sudo dmesg | grep ttyUSB*
[sudo] contrasenya per a astroberry:
[ 4.488520] usb 1-1.4: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
astroberry@astroberry:~ $ sudo dmesg | grep ttyAMC*
[ 0.477197] fe201000.serial: ttyAMA0 at MMIO 0xfe201000 (irq = 34, base_baud = 0) is a PL011 rev2
astroberry@astroberry:~ $ lsusb

This is all.

Hi Arado,

Yes, I followed (and copy and paste) all the things that you would to check.

If I understand right, I do the same (only in both 76-* files) but this time change ttyUSB0 for ttyAMC, save and reboot and then check if appear some other ttyAMC device, doesn't it?
And, before to reboot change, too. Into the GPS.rules (or only garmin. rules?), change gps for garmin?
This evening I'll check it.

For future issues of others users about same problem, I need to do something because the people goes directly to the solution post?

Yours,
Pep

Hi,
I just try it and not there are other ttyUSB* only this:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 188, 0 de gen. 29 23:17 /dev/ttyUSB0

About dmesg udevadmn I don't know how to do it.
Only this:
$ sudo dmesg | grep ttyUSB+
[ 4.307911] usb 1-1.4: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0

I come back on same conditions for not to break nothing, now works...
I hope give you enogh information.
Thanks for all,
Pep

Hy Arado,

The OnStep rule is:

KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ea60", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="OnStep"

About GPSD rule I don't touch nothing I only do it that Aj55 suggest it about to not use from boot moment.
If you want I send it but is to large... (but I don't touch nothing inside).
Thanks,
Pep

Hello guys,

WORKS!!!!

Hi to everyone,

Today I'll try it to "Kill" the gpsd from the ttyUSB0 and I'm sure that will work my little (But biggest) OnStep .

But last night I check if I had the cp210x drivers was installed (By modprobe cp210x) and seems that no are. Someone could help to me to install or re-install the drivers?

About the issue that I have, astroberry 1 or astroberry 2 are similars? It's mean, if I should install astroberry 1 I succed something diferent from astroberry2?

Thanks a lot,

Pep
