Client is on a x86 laptop and server/driver on a 4GB SBC ~30% more powerful than a rasbperrypi4 (rock64pro from pine64).  I tried with 8bit and lowest resolution but didn't get better results unfortunately. But the outcome seems more or less random, I will try to reduce the potential source of errors in my next attempt, IE, much better network, changing usb cable, etc...

I tried changing the auto-exposure (enabled by default ?) in the controls tab.
 

Dear all,

I have an Altair AA 183MM Pro, that I bought specifically to use with indi. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use it properly, as I often need to reboot something (either the driver or the indiserver or the ekos indi client crash or become unusable).
Anyway, let start with a bug I can easily reproduce.
Whenever I launch indiserver with indi_altair_ccd driver alone:I get a very weird behaviour after I have launched an acquisition, on the client side, I basically end-up with a completely blank client (and of course never manage to get the nice image pop-up as it works with the asi driver for zwo ccd):

Sorry I don't have the 269 c, However I have the Altair AA183M Pro and I must say I am pretty disappointed by the driver. It keeps crashing, making ekos indi client completely buggy or unreliable. To me it is a pretty bad product/driver pair, and I will never invest again in Altair hardware.

Thank you for the feedback. It is an option indeed. I power the camera with a powerful source (upbv2 from pegasus astro), but I might have a weak cable, will do some tests later one. For now, it seems more like a software issue.

Did you eventually managed to fix that issue ?
It is quite annoying, as I cannot reliably get this camera to work, and for now I didn't managed to find out what parameter was influencing this behaviour....
I get:
[WARNING] Failed to snap exposure. Error: Unexpected failure. Switching to regular exposure...

Even if the swig build itself is not failing, I guess we ended up more or less back to the same state: github.com/indilib/pyindi-client/issues/2
Anyone with good knowledge about swig able to help ?

If I have time this week, I'll check what I can do with pybind11, see if the methods/attributes can be retrieved from python, or if it is not swig related.

Ok thank you for the feedback, and I apologize for mentionning the wrong problem. I was simply not able to determine what was the issue by myself.
I just realized that the macro I suspected to be the initial source of the problem was more or less an equivalent of Q_DECLARE_PRIVATE one can also find in QT source code that is apparently meant to bypass some compiler limitation with RTTI and dynamic_cast.

In my humble opinion it would be a good idea to have pyindi client tested at least as part of indi releases, as I think this project really makes indi extremely powerful, and some opensource projects with growing popularity are relying on it (hinking here at the fantastic work done by Gulinux). However it is definitely not my call, as I am not doing any significant maintenance of either indi or pyindi-client.

Thank you pawel-soja for your work on the project !

There seems to be already some work made in that direction:

There seems to be other things that are not right with 1.8.8 and 1.8.9:
Here is what I get trying to install pyindi with version older than 0.2.6 ie 0.2.5 and earlier :

pip install pyindi-client==0.2.5; python -c "import PyIndi"

/usr/include/libindi/indiproperty.h:42: Error: Syntax error in input(3).
error: command 'swig' failed with exit status 1

class Property
{
    DECLARE_PRIVATE(Property)
public:
    Property();

#define DECLARE_PRIVATE(Class) \
    inline Class##Private* d_func() { return reinterpret_cast<Class##Private *>(getPtrHelper(d_ptr)); } \
    inline const Class##Private* d_func() const { return reinterpret_cast<const Class##Private *>(getPtrHelper(d_ptr)); } \
    friend class Class##Private;

I tried removing all the unstable stuff comming from the ppa's And then installed ubuntu 20.04 stock indi-dev package
Know I am left with this:
