I had a similar issue with my Asi 294 MM: there was simply no way of downloading any exposure locally, which was a huge pain, expecially for focusing and pointing. In my case, I managed to track the issue to the buffer size of indiserver: it just is too small. So I forked the original indi, increase the buffers size and never had an issue ever again.
You could try to compile the fork and try it…

on PC is solid: nothing special but it works. I had it working properly on rpi using a DC-DC 1A converter but in general is not worth the trouble. If able consider returning it for a simpe ASI120MM: it's worth the money

I had a similar issue with that cam long time ago, in my case it was power-related: RPI is not able to deliver the 1A required to properly run the camera. Have you checked it?

How many watts is the power supply rated for?

Hi,

I had the same issue on the toupcam driver on a rpi1: everything worked fine but the toupcam driver. I ended up passing to a newer raspbian on a rpi4. You could try compiling the drivers instead of installing them but I wouldn’t expect much better result.

If You could, I would also weight returning the toupcam for a better camera with better driver support, e.g. ZWO ASI 120 series.

good luck

Hi,

I understand the you create the job with a given ISO, say 1600, and the manually change it to a different value on the machine. Since the header of a FITS image is just a hash map of texts, I’d think that the job values applies so you see that problem. Did you try to edit the job setting the correct ISO before starting it or create a new job with the correct ISO? If so: is the issue still present?
I use the same camera and never encounter this issue, but I never had the need to set different ISOs for the camera and for Ekos either.

regards

Hi. I tried both: first I installed the apt repo drivers and then I built the drivers cloning the github repo

Hi all. I'm a newbie trying to make a pure indi system using a Meade LX85, a Canon DLSR and a Omegon Pro Guide cam. Indiserver is run on a R-pi 1B+ running the latest raspbian.

I understand that the omegon cam is a rebranded ToupCam (that is supposed to be a rebranded Altair? Maybe, not sure). Everything works fine but the guide cam: on indiserver start I get

Driver indi_toupcam_ccd: stderr EOF

I tried about anything. Am I doing something wrong? Is the Rpi somehow too old for the indiserver?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm trying to build my first rig using Indi on a R-pi 1B+ controlling a LX85, a Canon DSLR and a Omegon Pro guide camera.
I understand that the touptek drivers are needed for running this camera but the drivers crash at lunch with the message:

Driver indi_toupcam_ccd: stderr EOF

Could anyone help me?
