For those of you reporting that QHY PoleMaster does not work on Astroberry 2.0.0
To the best of my knowledge the only version of PoleMaster available on
QHY site
is
for Ubuntu Mate. You can tell that even from the file's name: PoleMaster_Qt-for-RPI-Ubuntu-1.3.5.0.deb
Astroberry 2.0.0 is Raspbian Buster based system. Please do not expect programs from other distributions to run on others. There is lots of library dependencies for every program and every distribution has it's own naming and versioning for libraries required.
In case of QHY PoleMaster version of libraries is not compatible with Raspbian Buster. So there is no easy and reliable way to make it work.
However, I did some testing and was successful in running QHY PoleMaster on Astroberry 2.0.0. I do not own QHY camera so cannot confirm that it really works, but this is a challenge for you guys. No guarantee whatsoever, it's a dirty hack.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Download QHY PoleMaster package, currently it is PoleMaster_Qt-for-RPI-Ubuntu-1.3.5.0.deb.zip available
here
2. Unzip the file
3. Install it with:
sudo dpkg -i PoleMaster_Qt-for-RPI-Ubuntu-1.3.5.0.deb
4. Install required library:
sudo apt install libopencv-imgproc3.2
5. Create links to libraries required by PoleMaster to libraries available on Astroberry / Raspbian Buster:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libqhyccd.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libqhyccd.so.4
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libopencv_imgproc.so.3.2 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libopencv_imgproc.so.2.4
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libopencv_core.so.3.2 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libopencv_core.so.2.4
6. Run PoleMaster from terminal:
/usr/bin/PoleMaster/PoleMaster
Running from menu will not work. If you want to have a click and go solution, create a laucher icon on your desktop or taskbar.
PS. Let's call a spade a spade. If program designed for one system does not work on the other is not an issue.
