iNova Camera was created by Freddy

I've put together my Astroberry unit and managed to log into it with my Win7 laptop. I've followed the instructions to make full use of the SD card with success. In the Indi manager I've set up a profile with my Canon DSLR and Orion mount but did not see my iNova Camera listed. I looked on the Indi website for an available driver and it is there. How do I update Indi to include my iNova camera driver?

The only thing you need to do is to select INova driver in your profile as a CCD (main camera) or Guider (if guider).

Hi Kaczorek, I did not see it listed as an option that's why I ask. Neither did I see an option for my Altair Astro camera. Does my indi database need to be updated?

Oh, I have just realized this. Sorry for the confusion.
Apparently the driver is not installed by default. Kind of strange... You can easily fix this by running the following in your terminal
sudo apt install indi-inovaplx

Also you can do the same with Altain camera
sudo apt install indi-altaircam

I'm new to linux so please bear with me....does my RPi need to be connected to the internet when I run these commands?

Yes it does. It will download the packages from a repository and install them for you. The repository is online so the RPi needs to be connected to the internet.


HTH, Wouter

Well I tried the commands to install the indi drivers and attached are the errors that I received. I don't know what they mean. Any ideas? Sorry for the quality of the images.

Ok I did that and it seems to install. I didn't get any errors but I still don't see them in the Indi Web Manager.

I had done that and was still not seeing either camera....out of frustration I closed my browser and opened it again and logged back into Astroberry. There they were!! Thanks Radek, can't wait to play with this during the weekend.....if it doesn't rain as forecasted.
