Helmut Zimmermann created a new topic ' ZWO ASI MC071Pro camera connects but can't capture' in the forum. 4 months ago

I have Ubuntu 20.04 on ARM64 board with INDI-FULL/KSTARS.
EKOS connects successfully to my ZWO ASI MC071 pro camera.

I have set values for both GPSStartLine/GPSEndLine to zero as suggested by this post:
indilib.org/forum/ekos/14152-my-asi1600m...stopped-working.html

When I initiate an exposure nothing happens and after some seconds INDI control panel message says retrying a new capture.
The log file shows:

- "ZWO CCD ASI071MC Pro ist verbunden."
- ZWO CCD ASI071MC Pro : "[DEBUG] Snopping on Mount iOptron GEM28 "

I tried the camera with another capture application and can confirm that the camera works flawlessly...

I checked all ZWO xml-configuration files in the .indi directory and all files show GPSStartLine/GPSEndLine = 0, also
in the INDI control panel I have GPSStart/EndLines=0 in the camera's control tab.

I have attached the indi-log-file for more information.

Has anybody ideas what to do to get the camera capture process to work?

Any hint is appreciated,
Thanks
Helmut
