hi!

well ... I try to translate without being nasty ...
"On linux there is no concept of system driver. "

= "I don't have the faintest idea of UNIX-type operating systems. All those little files in this so-called /dev folder are a mystery! Books like this one - Linux Device Drivers - should be filed under Science Fiction..." :blink:

"It is the communication protocol between camera and the host . We now is making a new low level protocol standard for our cameras to let the cameras working under other systems. We can put the QHY5V into this todo list to make this protocol . And then the indi developer can use this protocol to communication with camera."

= "I am unaware that there is actually an interface for the camera and yours was forgotten anyhow..."

sorry for not being more enthusiastic. The only solace I can offer is that operating my QHY 5 under windows is even more of a pain ...

Hi Wolfi,

Late response, but what did you actualy mean with "my QHY 5 under windows is even more of a pain"?
My QHY5v does work perfect under Windows.

A new response via QHY forum DM between me and Qiu:
Really don't know who the opensource community is and who could help me further..
Also really no idea about the effort it would cost to add support for it.
At the end if support won't come.. what will be the best quality / lowcost guidecam that is supported by indi?

Regards,
Chris.

hi!
my ALccd5 is ~ 5 years old, maybe things have improved since then. under windows, it can only be accessed when plugged into the usb port which was used during installation, it had to undergo a hardware fix and all kinds of unnecessary stuff like that.

the opensource comunitiy consists of people like jaseem and me who develop software and provide it as a community support. in other words - no more support from qhy :/

i have recetly bought a ZWO ASI 120 MM (i think, i don't have it at hand) - have not tested it under the skies yet, but it works fine with INDI ...

Hey,

Using my qhy since 2 years and don't know better than it's always just plug and play when ascom drivers and qhy drivers are installed. But they probably improved some cause your experience with it doesn't sound that good :).

ZWO ASI 120 MM seems a good price/quality cam! Thanks for that.
Ofcourse I prefer not buying a new one but using my current, but not sure what you guys can do for me based on the documentation of the readout of the qhy5v?

Regards,
Chris.

@wolfi, do you think you can do anything for me about this?

well ... i am afraid not really. without the cam and some code that can be modified, it is extremely hard to come up with something usable :/

I wonder if usbip.sourceforge.net/ could be of any use for you?

Probaly needs a bit of network knowledge and a VPN connection like www.zerotier.com/
