QHY268M Detecting Nonexistant Filter

The latest release of kstars / ekos is detecting a filter wheel with my QHY268M that is not there.

This happened intermittently and now it wont go away. I can't take any images as it is trying to change a filter. I can't find a way to bypass the filter settings in ekos.

Also, this website wont let you login on Opera for some reason.

Cheers

QHY logs? It will not detect filter until QHY SDK says so.

I'm not sure how to access the QHY logs? I'm running indi on an astroberry.

This was not an issue at all before I upgraded to the latest kstars / ekos.

It only appears to be a problem in the camera module of ekos. If I do a plate solve or focus, it doesn't try to change filters and hang up.

As you can see, there is no filter info being shown. Can't select any filter prams. Yet it tries to change filter before exposing.

Oh okay, I think there was a filter-change bug that was fixed in Stable 3.6.1 release.

I am not using a filter wheel, at all. It is detecting one that isn't there.

I'm on Version 3.6.1 Stable

Okay, thanks. I didn't realize there were same version updates for stable releases. I'll update asap.

This is still an issue in the latest kstars. It is detecting a filter that isn't there only in the camera module
