Welcome to INDI Community

Will an old v1.7 Raspberry Pi camera work with indi-allsky?

I am also building indi-allsky on an Rpi 3 Bullseye installation. Judging from the time to build it, I may be a little too ambitious!

Thanks

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a new Fujifilm camera - model as yet undetermined. I see that Indi appears to have drivers for Fuji cameras. Can anyone confirm which models are supported or not supported, and that the driver has no significant issues?
TIA

I'm trying to connect an ASI294MC Pro with 'ZWO Camera 1'.
Sometimes it works but sometimes not.
When the driver could not connect to the camera, I changed to 'ZWO CCD' which will get it work.
What are these 'ZWO Camera 1/2/3' meaning for?

Try to use ZWO CCD instead of ZWO Camera 1/2/3
I'm also fucked with these 1/2/3, and confused what ware they meaning for.

Nope - sorry. I ended up doing a support ticket and they said it didn't work.

SM isn't the most secure thing so I guess I understand the reluctance to all it to be on a public network but I wish they'd put in a side door so people with VMs can still get at it.

Confirmed all working on Ubuntu Mate 22.04

Pete,
These are small systems and there is just a 100k swap file which is next to nothing. Just try creating a 4GB swap partition for the OS to use and see if it helps.

Ok this one should fix that issue

I'd be interested if anyone has made this work. I've tried and failed.

It looks to me that the Stellarmate App is only looking at the local network and that would have to be addressed to get it to work.

Nice catch, I notified Jasem and he said he will fix it.

Hmmm... what is strange is that this cam is working when used with Ekos... even is qhy_ccd_test fails.

I will cont. test this setup.

Thank you for that tip.

However that didn't fix the issue. I'm still getting the same unmet dependencies / broken packages message.

Because of previous failed install attempts, I had to start with

sudo apt update --fix-missing
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then the exact steps you did worked for me.

Hi Nigel,

The clicked current and write is an Ekos thing (Indi control panel, mount, site management, park position "Current" "Default" "Write Data" "Purge Data". I presumed you can move the mount to a park position, click current, then write data and it should make that the park position. I *think* this is actually for custom park positions.

When I connect to the mount, it shows up at Polaris. But there is a feature under Eqmod where you can right click anywhere on the screen, select Eqmod mount, then Goto & Set as Park Position. When I did this, the mount would slew to some place way way away from Polaris. I don't know why.

The good news, apparently, is that I reprogrammed the AstroEQ controller to invert DEC, and the mount now appears to be slewing in the correct direction. I had assumed inverting DEC in Indi control panel would have done this, but apparently not. Hopefully, skies will be clear for real testing!

Not sure, just tested with QHY268M without issues.

Hi,

1st - again congrats on this project!

this is strange - I build right now both core, libs and 3rd party drivers from github.

All successful. Mounts, etc - all working but not the driver for the qhy cams. I'm using a qhy 5 iii 178c- When I run qhy_ccd_test, I got the following

I must be a little thick today as I still cannot get this to install on 22.04.

I am using these steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install indi-full kstars-bleeding

That gives the warning of unmet packages.....Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What am I missing?

Colours on graph changed to order in the rainbow scheme. New test still running (crash point never certain, but shows same effect - cache increases as free decreases, and eventually swap gets used.
At this point, I've no idea how long the simulation will continue, other than at some point a crash and stop of acquisition WILL occur.
Also redone the previous text file to show the plots on the same colour scheme.
