I just compiled kstars and indlib from git and my ASI174Mini can take "0,000032" exposures aswell as "0,000064", 0,000100 without any errors, but when I enter " 0,00001" and press enter it returns to "0,000032".

I'm wondering if I've got a different ZWO CCD INDI driver.

Been looking around the directory structure on my RPi and I have version "libindi_1.2.0_rpi" so maybe the upgrade didn't work properly. Maybe I should start again from scratch and build a new system on another micro SD card. The version I'm using definitely won't allow an exposure of less than 1ms.

The camera driver is "indi_asi_ccd" in my current RPi system but I can't find such a file in the INDI library for Raspberry Pi v1.5.0. The OS is Raspbian Jessie.

Please redownload again from here: indilib.org/download/raspberry-pi.html

I checked the download (v1.6.0) and it contains the driver.

I'm now creating a new system on a new microSD card with a new RPi 3 B. I've installed Raspbian Stretch Lite and now running update/upgrade - a little way to go yet...

Or would Ubuntu Mate be better?

Installed latest Raspbian Lite (Stretch), ran update/upgrade, installed the required dependences and latest libindi 1.6.0 and update/upgrade etc. Then
indiserver -m 100 -vv indi_asi_ccd
Got error

Kept getting errors with Raspbian so I'm trying Ubuntu Mate.

I've installed Ubuntu Mate onto the microSD card and put it into the RPi but I can't seem to SSH into it. I've put the file SSH into the root as with Raspbian but that hasn't helped. Help please.

Later... Been doing lots of Googling and it would appear that Ubuntu Mate can't be used with headless RPi and SSH into it because the SSH server isn't loaded :( But I'm sure I've seen posts from people using UM headless. Maybe set it up with monitor etc. and use raspi-config. I think the computer and user names need setting up too, which was why I couldn't SSH from what I've read.

I install regular Ubuntu Mate for RPI3 and it works fine. Regarding Raspian, I am now upgrading my RPI2 from Jessie to Stretch (finally) and will make the 1.6.0 package for Stretch starting from tomorrow.

Ah yes, I had a feeling the problem with Raspbian was the core version. That's often a reason for library conflicts.

Which OS do you recommend, Raspbian or Ubuntu Mate? They each seem to have their pros and cons.

Definitely Ubuntu Mate for RPI3. Why? Because you can just use the PPA and get updates. With Raspbian, you have to download the updates and install manually.
