Support for Apogee Alta U47? was created by Adrien Barrajon

Hello,

I'm trying to run an Apogee Alta U47 camera with the Apogee INDI driver, but I can't connect to my camera. My error log shows this:
INFO	582.904854 sec	: Attempting to find Apogee CCD...
ERROR	582.973875 sec	: Error opening camera: libapogee:/build/libapogee3-4xzzLd/libapogee3-3.0.3234+r3288~201708051111~ubuntu16.04.1/libapogee/GenOneLinuxUSB.cpp(476):UsbRequestIn failed with error -9.  RequestCode = c2 : Index = 0 : Value = 2:1

Is my CCD supported by this driver?

Thanks.

What's the VID:PID of this camera? Use lsusb to find out.

The corresponding line says:

Bus 002 Device 013: ID 125c:0010 Apogee Inc, Alta series CCD

Is that what you're after?

Check if you have a file in /lib/udev/rules.d/99-apogee.rules and yes, it should have a line like this:
# Apogee
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="125c", MODE="666"

Correct?

Correct. That's all there is in that file.

Hmmm I have a stupid theory.. maybe that 666 is missing a zero at the beginning? I'm not sure it matters. But try it anyway, so change it to:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="125c", MODE="0666"
You can edit the file using sudo nano /lib/udev/rules.d/99-apogee.rules
After you make your changes, restart the computer and try again. See if that makes any difference.

I edited the file and it didn't seem to solve the problem. I'm getting the same errors, which are:

2017-08-31T07:58:40: Attempting to find Apogee CCD...

For the record, I got the camera to work using te drivers provided by The Random Factory . So that's someting I guess. However, my goal was to use it within Ekos so that I can do automatic plate-solving and pointing the mount.\

Thanks a lot for your help!

Oh I just contacted Random Factory.. I guess it's not their problem. Which version did you get?

Ok I just tried to sync again with upstream (same version) and pushed the changes. Maybe that will help. Either compile it or wait for PPA update tomorrow.

Try running indiserver as sudo (root), let's see if this is somehow permission related.
