Thanks To confirm:
- Using the Pi:
- atik-ccd-test works fine
- Ekos on my Windows machine can't connect to the Atik when it is connected to the Pi.
- Using my Windows desktop:
- atik-ccd-test fails with ping timeouts
- Ekos can't connect to the Atik when it is connected to the desktop

Hi, I tried a different tack on this today and used a Raspberry Pi in remote mode, using Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and Atik driver 1.8.

- the QHY5ii is fine
- the Xagyl filter wheel fails due to a permissions error
- Ekos still can't 'see' the Atik.

I tried running 'atik_ccd_test' on the Pi and it worked! - pings, read ccd, sample data, everything...

The output is attached.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks, Graham

Thanks Peter. I'd really appreciate that.

Peter, The USB is directly connected to the computer (I've tried 3 different USB ports). I've also tried 3 different power supplies for the Atik - the last one was 12v and 3A.

Thanks, Graham

Sorry, wrong snippet!

Tried again with Artemis capture under Windows, works OK, so I'm at a loss as the camera seems OK, but the atik_ccd_test can't ping it.

Clearly something going on...

Hi, still no luck I'm afraid. Same 'yellow light'. I've tried the following:
- upgraded to VirtualBox 5.1.8 with extension pack
- reinstalled Ekos VM with both the 1.1 driver and 1.8 driver
- tried to use the Atik camera as the guider
- checked the camera and connection are OK under Windows (using Artemis Capture) - all good
- checked Ekos is OK by connecting my QHY guider - all good

Are there any logfiles I can check? If so, where are they located?

Many thanks,

Graham

Thanks. I'll try 1.8 and let you know.

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. Sorry if this is a dumb question... where do I get the previous version of the Atik driver?

Thanks, Graham

Hi, just joined the forum. Installed INDI this weekend via VirtualBox.

Got my QHY5II guider and Xagyl filter wheel working fine, but my Atik 314L gives a Yellow light in the Control Panel when I try to connect and hardly gives any CCD options, so something not right. Both my cameras - QHY and Atik are recognised by the VM. I installed the Atik driver (64 bit debian) from the cloudmakers website.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Graham
