Dear all,
I'm thinking to buy a new Orion Nautilus filter-wheel 2" 4positions.
After to read the post I understand that I only need to say on my astroberry to use the quantum filters-wheel driver, don't it?
Thanks a lot.
Any suggestions about it?
Thanks for to confirm that is correct and works under ARM (astroberry) platform.

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 on the Raspy (astroberry) directly but gave me an error that say (someting like): Video was interrupted.
I remmeber that fi I do it this process by VNC connection works. 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 that could give me some ideas about how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Pep

Hi folks,
After a while I have been able to update the frimware and indi-server (on raspi and PC). But it doesn't make me meridian FLIP.
Are there any prerequisites that I must meet in order to do so?
Or, what would be the procedure to check that it makes me meridian flip?

Thanks for the suggestions,

Pep

Dear Khalid,

I attach the picture of my board. Thanks a lot for your suport.
 

Hi Khalid,
Thank you so much.

Does the new firmware only works for boards up than STM V.1.8 ?. This is the one I have (I beleave).

• The boards STM v1.8 are MKS V1? or MKS V2? I do not know to see it.

• Have some risk of having problems if I upgrade it?,
• Or better to leave it with the limitations now I have?

Hi Khalid,
Thanks for you quick answer.
I know it may not be the place but, to update the firmware: what file should I not touch and/or save it, to just update and not modify the current settings I have?

Hi Jamie,

I’ve been following the FLIP topic, which I’m very interested in, but I have a couple of things.

1.  Does the arrangement you made of INDI-OnStep works on OnStep frimware version 2.2.xx?
2.  If I don’t have autofocus, the thing will work for the discusion that you have had and I’ve been able to interpret from all the advances you’ve made, right?
3.  And, is the modification already uploaded so that you can install it and test it (in any platform: PC/Astroberry/ ...)?

Hi Thx8411,

Thank you. You are a master ... (we will leave the universe for other occasions smile.png).
Thank you so much for the work you have done and the dedication you had put into it.
(By the way, only one thing: the minimum time of the camera is 0.001s but in Ekos you have to set it manually, if you put the minimum with the arrows to go up and down the value continue only accepting 0.01s. Hey! but it do the pictures of 0.001s if you put the value manualy, therefore OK)
I insist, Thank you very much,

CLEAR and GOOD SKIES.

Hi Thx8411,

I just upgrade the system and works perfectly well.
In VNC mode (web access) and remotely (by Ekos (PC)). The camera is connected directly to the USB3 of the RasPi4 without Power Hub.
In both cases I try to do different exposures (from 0.001s to 60s), videos, guide and works perfect. I check if on 12bits works and works too, but have to much noise (normal, of course).
Now I only need a cloudless sky and check if works guide, in internal mode, from ekos works too.
Thanks a lot Blaise.
I attach the dump files if you will check them. v1C is in VNC mode and v2C is remotely mode.

Thanks again,
Pep

Hi thx8411,
Good Morning.
I didn't know how to check the version but looking at ekos (INDI-Panel) I can tell you I have versions1.1 interface 6
Now I upgrade the lib and I have 1.6.5 version. Is to say I had just had the before one.
I hope it serves.
Thanks,
Pep
Today I'll try it and tell you what happen.

Dear Thx8411,

I have done different tests to see what results I get ... and nothing in the last one I managed to make images of (and without much success, too).
In the attached pdf, you will see a table where I have tried to describe what tests I have done.
In the compressed file are the sv305_pro_dump_vN files of each test (where N is the test number or version, which I named).
My dmesg results is like 1-1.3 (connected directly to USB3 port) or 1-1.4.1 (from Hub powered usb3). On "cat " instructions I put "1u" , this is correct, don't you?

I hope it helps you with something ... If I have to clarify something, tell me. Or if some other test needs to be done, too.
I have a raspi4 with 4Gb of ram, astroberry 2.0.3 and I have either connected via VNC (via web) or remotely via PC (Ekos).
Thanks for everything.
I will waiting your news

Pep
