I am experiencing problems with a QHY9 camera as well, though in my case the problems are with the filter wheel. See

www.indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/3872-qh...x-mac-ok-though.html

I haven't found a soliution yet and will keep an eye on this thread just in case...

I have verified that my QHY9 is in good working order, testing it using Nebulosity 4 under Windows, using the same cables. Camera, cooler and filter works well.

I also ran qhy_ccd_test and no issues there - output below:

There is some interaction between EKOS, indi, and the driver that makes the system think streaming is turned on. qhy_test_ccd seems to indicate the camera is fine, and I presume uses the driver to communicate to the camera. I've removed the xml files, rebooted the Raspberry Pi (where indi runs) and verified cabling and USB hub. I'm at a loss as to what else I can do or check.

Ideas?

Another hint where to direct future development efforts at. I think Ekos/Indi would profit massively from a major overhaul that would simplifying the configuration and have everything one place.

I've been off these forums and not using the software for a while now hoping that QHY issues would have been resolved by now. Poked my head in the door to see what was new and found this thread.

I will wait several more months.

There has been a new QHY SDK and QHY driver release since then in INDI Nightly PPA. Please test that.

I gave it a try tonight. First I added the nightly ppa, then i updated KStars and INDI. Next I connected the QHY9 but as soon as I started the INDI server via Ekos it reported that the qhy driver had crashed. Here are the logs.

It seems there was a build problem.. I rebuilt the package, can you try to update and check again?

I updated KStars and tried again. Unfortunately the qhy driver still crashes. Here are the new logs.

I just tested on StellarMate and it didn't get that error... so there is something odd going on with your system. Try purging libqhy and reinstalling it again. Check /usr/lib and make sure there is no old libqhy there somehow.
