Yep, all the other drivers are complied as well, apologies if my wonky terminology threw you off a bit there.

I've updated my build and am still having problems. I tried connecting the lodestar as my main imager in phd2 and that seems to work just fine. It also works perfectly with the simulator.

Thanks!

I've been having some issues with my Lodestar x2 CCD, when I open ekos in kstars I can connect to the mount and DSLR just fine but the CCD just hangs on an amber light. I can persuade it to connect by quickly disconnecting and reconnecting a few times, and so far this has been the only way to get it up and running. However I'm hitting a wall now that I'm trying to get PHD2 to connect to it through INDI, the mount connects just fine and I can connect to the DSLR as if it were a guiding camera as well. I suspect that the first issue is related, does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

I complied the INDI and KStars from source
INDI Library: 1.2.0
code $Re$. Protocol 1.7.
KStars Version: 2.6.0

4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

PHD2 debug log:
