Hi,

I use Kstars etc on a laptop connected to a remote indiserver on a mini PC on the mount.
All on Ubuntu with latest ap-get versions)

Up till now always with ASI imaging and SX guide camera.

Having down sized my portable setup scopes with 2 ASI cameras, ASI2600MM and ASI220MM, i get guide camera time outs which then hang up guiding.
it can last minutes or hours between failures.

I have tried all combinations of direct UBB cable to PC and guider on camera internal hub etc.. No difference.

I wanted to try the single instance driver but can't figure out the correct way to use it with a remote server.

Loading indi_asi_ccd on the remote PC and asi CCD on laptop works but times out.
Loading indi_asi_ccd on the remote PC and asi Camera1 and 2 on laptop works but times out.
Loading one indi_asi_single_ccd on the remote PC and Camera1 and 2 does not connect to 2 cameras.
Loading two indi_asi_single_ccd on the remote PC and Camera1 and 2 does not connect to 2 cameras.

Any suggestions to work round the camera timeout would be very welcome.

(I have tried reducing the bandwidth but it just resets itself to the default after a few minutes.)
(Going back to the SX guider give me a huge image scale)

Thanks.
