Hi!

I uploaded the first version on github.
The library still requires a lot of cosmetic work, but it can already be pre-tested.

github.com/pawel-soja/AsiCamera

Currently I only have one camera and it's hard for me to test everything.
I am asking you for tests on your cameras. Share the information you have cameras by attaching information from the AsiCameraPerformance program.

Below is a detailed description of how I tested the camera.

  • download Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Release date: December 2nd 2020, Kernel version: 5.4)
  • enable ssh by placing an empty "ssh" file in the /boot/ directory
  • run Raspberry PI 4
  • connect ethernet cable and login via ssh
  • install pre-requisites from "Install Pre-requisites" section
  • build project from "Get the code and build" section
  • copy udev rule:
    sudo cp ~/Projects/AsiCamera/libasicamera2/lib/asi.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
  • connect camera to USB 3.0
  • run AsiCameraPerformance
    ./example/performance/AsiCameraPerformance Exposure 10000 HighSpeedMode 1 Gain 100

Of course you can test it on different hardware or operating system and skip a few steps if you know what you are doing.

If something went wrong, run:
./example/simply/AsiCameraSimply Exposure 10000 HighSpeedMode 1 Gain 100
And then post the program result as a text attachment on the forum.

If someone has problems getting through the testing procedure, I can prepare a simple script to do everything for you.

I expect problems for cameras with resolutions above 10MPixel and color cameras. Please confirm.
