Hello, new Ekos (Intel MacBook Pro) user here.

I've been using the indi DSUSB device / driver to control the shutter on my Nikon D7000 (via CloudMakers AstroDSLR) successfully for over a year now.  Recently I tried to get this working via Ekos and have not had any success. Here's what I've tried:

  • Set up a gphoto ccd device for the Nikon. This appears to work.
  • Set the shutter control port to 'DSUSB'.  This also appears to work - a 'Connected to DSUSB' message shows up in the logs (though the light on the DSUSB does not turn green)
  • Attempt to take a 1 second exposure. This does NOT work. The light on the DSUSB device never turns green.
I know the DSUSB hardware works on the Mac. The INDI driver works (though it appears Ekos does not use this driver directly.

Any Mac users out there get a DSUSB working in Ekos?

Thanks,
Nick
